THE HUMAN FLY
A--Did you hear about that guy who climbed a skyscraper?
B--I don't believe I did. Was it on the TV news last night?
A--Uh-huh. This guy-calls himself "the Human Fly" -- climbed up this skyscraper with nothing
but some big suction cups!
B--I suppose he got arrested.
A--He sure did! As soon as he got to the top of the building, the cops were there to grab him!
B--And he'll have to pay a fine, of course.
A--In this guy's case it looks as if he might have to go to jail, too!
注解:
1)skycraper:摩天大楼。
2)I don't believe=I don't think
3)Human Fly:直译为“具有人类特性的飞蝇。”因为飞蝇是靠脚上吸盘在任何光滑的表面攀沿行走。
4)suction cup:吸盘。
5)cops(俗)=policemen
6)pay a fine;付罚款。fine在此是名词。亦可作动词用。
如:The police fined him heavily./He was fined $500.
7)jail=prison
