Paul: What are you watching?

戴拉:我在看一场关于铁证悬案的节目。他们取自几十年前未解决的犯罪案件,让后重现案情,试图彻底地解决这些悬案。

Paul: Isn’t there a statute of limitations for most crimes?
保罗:大多数的罪案没有法律时效吗?
Della: Yes, but not for murder.
戴拉:有,但是谋杀案没有。
Paul: I really doubt a TV show can solve crimes that the police couldn’t crack. Are any crimes really ever solved on the show?
保罗:我确实怀疑一个电视节目就能解决警察都没办法突破的罪案问题。有没有哪个罪案真的在电视上解决了?
