雙語故事:Suspect(嫌疑犯)

【英文原文】


suspect——嫌疑犯

We were listening to a lecture on psychic phenomena in our Comparative Religions course. Our instructor told us about a woman who contacted police working on a missing persons case. "She gave them eerily detailed instructions on where to find the body," the instructor said. "In fact, the detectives did find the body just as she had described. Now, what would you call this type of person?"

While the rest of us pondered the question, a sheriff's officer taking the class raised his hand and replied, "A suspect."

【中文譯文】

　　那次，我們正在聽《比較宗教學》課程的一個關於精神現象的講座。 講師給我們說了一個案例。這個案例是說警方正調查一宗失蹤案，“一名女士向警官提供了屍體位置的詳細描述。” 講師說，“事實上，警官們按她的描述找到了屍體。 現在，我想問你們，你將此這類（報案）的人稱爲什麼？”正當我們都在思考這個問題的時候，一名參加課程學習的郡警官舉起手回答，“一名嫌疑人”。
