Vanessa: Stop thief! 
瓦妮莎：捉小偷！
Police Officer: What happened? 
警察：发生什么事了？
Vanessa: I just got mugged. That guy stole my purse, jewelry, camera – all of my valuables! 
瓦妮莎：我被抢了，那个小偷抢走了我的钱包、珠宝、相机——所有有价值的东西都被偷了。
Police Officer: Were you wearing flashy jewelry and carrying an expensive camera? Those are big enticements for muggers. 
警察：你是不是戴着耀眼的珠宝，拿着昂贵的相机呀？那些东西会吸引抢劫犯来犯案。
Vanessa: I didn’t have anything on that was flashy and I was minding my own business. 
瓦妮莎：我没有戴任何抢眼的东西，我只顾着想自己的事，没注意其他。
Police Officer: Well, you should never go out alone at night, and if you have to, stay in well-lighted areas. Traveling on dim streets makes you a target for thieves. 
警察：呃，晚上再也不要单独外出，如果确实需要外出，走灯光明亮的地方。在昏暗的街道上行走，很容易成为窃贼的目标。
Vanessa: Thanks for that insight. 
瓦妮莎：谢谢你的建议。
Police Officer: Can you describe the person who mugged you? 
警察：你能描述一下抢劫你的人的外貌特征吗？
Vanessa: No, it happened in a flash. I didn’t get a good look at his face, but I’m sure it was a man. 
瓦妮莎：没有看见，转瞬间就发生了。我都没看到他的脸，但是我肯定是个男人。
Police Officer: It’s a good thing you weren’t hurt. You should probably learn self-defense in case it happens again. 
警察：你没有受伤是万幸。你应该学习自卫防身术以防下次再发生类似的事。
Vanessa: Thanks a lot. I think I’ve had as much advice as I can take in one night. Are you going to do anything to find that mugger? 
瓦妮莎：非常感谢。我想这一晚上我得到太多经验教训了。你们会采取什么行动找到那个抢劫犯吗？
Police Officer: Sure, I’ll file a report, but don’t get your hopes up. 
警察：当然，我会记录备案，但是你别抱太大希望。
Vanessa: Believe me, I won’t. 
瓦妮莎：相信我，我不会抱太大希望。
