B Didn't anyone stop them?

難道沒有人阻止他們？

你認(rèn)為有人會那么聰明去阻止那種事情。沒人知道有人在偷摩托車。小偷坐卡車來的，告訴每個人我叔叔是非法停車，他們?nèi)ツ蔷褪前衍囃献摺?/P>

B Wow, they were good. I guess criminals aren't that dumb after all.

喔，他們太絕了。我想罪犯畢竟不是那么啞巴。

A That's not the end. They were so good that they convinced a bystander to help them lift the motorcycle and put it in the truck.

那還沒有完。他們偽裝得如此好以致于一位旁觀者還幫助他們把摩托車抬進(jìn)卡車。
