I was walking down the street minding my own business one evening when I was stopped by a police officer. After asking me a couple of questions about where I’d been, he told me to put my hands behind my back. He was going to arrest me! He handcuffed me and gave me the Miranda warning. When I asked him why he was arresting me, he said that he had probable cause to believe that I was the suspect they had been looking for in a robbery that took place on the next street.

一天晚上，我走在大街上想自己的事情。这时一个警察拦住我。他问了我几个关于我从哪儿来，要去哪儿的问题后，让我把双手放到背后。他要逮捕我!给我铐上手铐，给我讲了米兰达规则。我问他为什么要逮捕我，他说他有理由相信我是他们一直在寻找的发生在另一条街区的一起盗窃案的嫌疑犯。

I couldn’t believe it! I was completely innocent, but the officer didn’t want to hear it. He put me in the back of a police car and drove to the police station. I was placed in a jail cell and, after a few hours, I was taken to a room and interrogated.

我简直不敢相信!我完全是清白的，但是警察不想听我说。他把我放进警车后座，然后开车去警局。我被投进监狱，几小时后，他们带我进一间房，开始审问。

A police officer asked me question after question, and after four hours of questioning, I was finally released! I found out later that it was a case of mistaken identity. I looked very much like the suspect they were looking for and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

一名警察问完一个问题又问另一个，四个小时的审问后，最终我被释放。后来我才知道这是一场误会，我跟他们寻找的嫌疑人很像，而且我在错误的时间出现在错误的场合。

I could sue the police department for false arrest, but I decided not to. I’d rather put the entire thing behind me and hope that I’m never that unlucky again!

因为他们误逮捕我，我可以起诉警察局，但我决定不起诉。我希望能够把整件事忘掉，希望自己能够不再这么倒霉了。
