OFFICER: Good morning. What can I do for you?

警官：早上好。我能为你做什么？

LOUISE: I want to report a theft. I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.

露易丝：我要举报一起偷窃案。昨天我包里有些东西被偷了。

OFFICER: I’m sorry to hear that. Right, so I’ll need to take a few details. Can I start with your name?

警官：很遗憾听到这个消息。好吧，我需要了解一些细节。我能从你的名字开始吗？

LOUISE: Louise Taylor.

路易斯：路易斯·泰勒。

OFFICER: OK, thank you. And are you resident in the UK?

警官：好的，谢谢。你是英国居民吗？

LOUISE: No, I’m actually Canadian, though my mother was British.

路易丝：不，我其实是加拿大人，尽管我的母亲是英国人。

OFFICER: And your date of birth?

警官：那你的出生日期呢？

LOUISE: December 14th, 1977.

路易斯：1977年12月14日。

OFFICER: So you’re just visiting this country?

警官：那你是来这个国家访问吗？

LOUISE: That’s right. I come over most summers on business. I’m an interior designer and I come over to buy old furniture, antiques you know.

路易丝：没错。我大多数夏天都是来出差的。我是一个室内设计师，我来这里采购旧家具，古董，你知道的。

There are some really lovely things around here, but you need to get out to the small towns. I’ve had a really good trip this year, until this happened.

这周遭有一些很可爱的东西，但我需要到小城镇去。我今年的旅行很愉快，直到这一切发生。

OFFICER: OK. So you’ve been here quite a while?

警官：我明白了。所以你在这里有一段时间了？

LOUISE: Yes, I’m here for two months. I go back next week.

路易丝：是的，我要在这里待两个月。我下周就回去了。

OFFICER: So may I ask where you’re staying now?

警官：请问你现在住哪儿？

LOUISE: Well at present I’ve got a place at Park Apartments, that’s on King Street.

露易丝：现在我在国王街的公园公寓落脚。

I was staying at the Riverside Apartments on the same street, but the apartment there was only available for six weeks so I had to find another one.

之前我住在同一条街上的河岸公寓里，但是那里的公寓只有六个星期的租期，所以我只能另找一间。

OFFICER: OK. And the apartment number?

警官：好的。公寓号码呢？

LOUISE: Fifteen.

路易：15。

OFFICER: Right.

警官：好的。

OFFICER: Now, I need to take some details of the theft. So you said you had some things stolen out of your bag?

警官：现在，我需要了解一些这起偷窃的细节。你说你的包里有东西被偷了？

LOUISE: That’s right.

路易丝：没错。

OFFICER: And were you actually carrying the bag when the theft took place?

警官：偷窃发生时，你确实带着你的包吗？

Yes. I really can’t understand it. I had my backpack on. And I went into a supermarket to buy a few things and when I opened it up my wallet wasn’t there.

路易丝：是的。我真的不明白。我背着我的背包，然后去超市买了一些东西，但当我打开它的时候，我的钱包却不在了。

OFFICER: And what did your wallet have in it?

警官：你的钱包里有什么？

LOUISE: Well, fortunately I don’t keep my credit cards in that wallet - I keep them with my passport in an inside compartment in my backpack.

露易丝：好吧，幸好我没有把信用卡放在钱包里--我把它们和护照放在背包里的一个夹层里。

But there was quite a bit of cash there...about ￡250 sterling, I should think.

但那里有相当一部分现金，大概有250英镑。

I withdrew ￡300 from my account yesterday, but I did a bit of shopping, so I must have already spent about ￡50 of that.

我昨天从我的账户里取出了300英镑，但我买了点东西，所以我一定花了大约50英镑。

OFFICER: OK.

警官：好的。

LOUISE: At first I thought, oh I must have left the wallet back in the apartment, but then I realised my phone had gone as well.

露易丝：一开始我想，噢，我一定是把钱包忘在公寓里了，但后来我意识到我的手机也不见了。

It was only a week old, and that’s when I realised I’d been robbed. Anyway at least they didn’t take the keys to my rental car.

这手机才买了一周，然后我就意识到自己被抢了。不过至少他们没有拿走我租的车的钥匙。

OFFICER: Yes. So you say the theft occurred yesterday?

警官：好的。你说你是昨天被偷的？

LOUISE: Yes.

路易丝：是的。

OFFICER: So that was September the tenth. And do you have any idea at all of where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?

警官：所以那是九月十日。你知道这些东西可能在哪里或什么时候被偷吗？

LOUISE: Well at first I couldn’t believe it because the bag had been on my back ever since I left the apartment after lunch.

露易丝：一开始我不敢相信，因为自从我午饭后离开公寓，包就一直在我背上。

It’s just a small backpack, but I generally use it when I’m travelling because it seems safer than a handbag. Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum.

这只是一个小背包，但我通常在旅行时用它，因为它看起来比手提包安全。我遇到了一个朋友，我们在博物馆逛了几小时。

But I do remember that as we were leaving there, at about 4 o’clock, a group of young boys ran up to us, and they were really crowding round us, and they were asking us what time it was, then all of a sudden they ran off.

但我记得，当我们离开那里的时候，大约在4点钟，一群年轻的男孩跑过来，他们挤在我们周围，问我们现在是什么时候，接着他们突然就跑了。

OFFICER: Can you remember anything about them?

警官：你还记得关于他们的任何特征吗？

LOUISE: The one who did most of the talking was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of something...let’s see... a tiger.

露易丝：那个说话最多的人穿着一件印着某样东西的T恤……让我想想……一只老虎。

OFFICER: Right. Any idea of how old he might have been?

警官：好。你知道他大概多大了吗？

LOUISE: Around twelve years old?

路易丝：大约12岁？

OFFICER: And can you remember anything else about his appearance?

警官：你还能想起什么他的外貌特征吗？

LOUISE: Not much. He was quite thin...

路易丝：记不太清了。他很瘦……

OFFICER: Colour of hair?

官员：发色呢？

LOUISE: I do remember that - he was blond. All the others were dark-haired.

路易斯：这我还记得，他是金发。其他人都是黑头发。

OFFICER: And any details of the others?

警官：还有关于其他人的细节吗？

LOUISE: Not really. They came and went so quickly.

路易丝：不太记得了。他们来得太快也跑得太快。

OFFICER: Right. So what I’m going to do now is give you a crime reference number so you can contact your insurance company.

警官： 好的。现在我要给你一个犯罪参考号码，这样你就可以联系你的保险公司了。

So this is ten digits: 87954 82361

这是十位号码：87954 82361

LOUISE: Thank you. So should I ...

露易丝：谢谢。那么我应该...
