A OK,Sally, we have an artist here to help us. We’ll ask you questions about the bank robber you saw and Paul will draw a picture. Are you ready?
好的,Sally,这儿有个画家来帮我们。我们将要问你有关银行劫匪的问题,将会画出那个人的长相。你准备好了吗?
B Yes, hmmm. Well, he had brown hair... long hair...and he had some facial hair... was brown, too.
是的,他有着棕色的头发……长头发……他有些胡子……也是棕色的。
A Good! Ok, the facial hair, was it a beard or a mustache?
好的,是胡须还是小胡子?
B Both! His mustache was very short and thin, on the top of his lip.
都有。他的胡子很短,很细,长在嘴唇的上面。
A un-uh hmmm..., like this?
像这样?
B Yes, that’s the mustache! But the beard isn’t right, mean, it didn’t cover his whole face... think it was just on his chin.
是的,是那类胡须。但胡须不对,我的意思是,胡子并没有长满脸,胡子只长在下巴处。
A A goatee? Was it like Paul’s?
山羊胡?像Paul的那样胡子?
B Ah yes, that’s it, he had a goatee...
对,他长着山羊胡.
A Okay, what about sideburns? Did he have sideburns?
是连鬓胡子吗?他有连鬓胡子吗?
B Um, they were long and thick,like yours!
胡子又长又密,很像你的胡子。
A Alright, was this the man you saw?
好的,这是你看到的那个人吗?
B Yes, that’s him! Hmmmmm, he looks a lot like you.
正是他。他看起来很像你。
A Hmmm, why yes he does. Paul, where were you on Friday afternoon?
确实很像。Paul,周五下午你在哪儿?
B What? That’s ridiculous! It wasn’t me! I didn’t do anything.
什么?那太可笑了。根本不是我,我什么都没做。
