Christina: What is the holdup? There are cars backed up for half a mile.
克里斯汀娜:怎么会塞车?后边堵着的车都有半英里了。
Harry: I bet the border patrol is looking for smugglers.
哈里:我猜边境巡逻在查走私。
Christina: Do you really think so? I wonder if there could be a drug mule in one of these cars carrying illegal drugs.
克里斯汀娜:你真这么想?我猜这么多车里有一个携带毒品的毒贩。
Harry: It might be drugs, but it could be any kind of contraband. I’ve heard that there’s a problem with gunrunning and other kinds of arms trafficking across these borders.
哈里:可能是毒品,也可能是任何违禁品,我听说这里有人走私军火,也有人跨境走私武器。
Christina: Maybe they’re looking for people trying to sneak into this country without permission.
克里斯汀娜:可能他们在查没有入境许可,但试图潜入入境的人。
Harry: Or they could be looking for people trying to import exotic species without permission.
哈里:或者他们在找没有许可,却携带珍惜物种的人。
Christina: What kinds of exotic species?
克里斯汀娜:哪种珍惜物种?
Harry: Plants and animals that aren’t allowed to be brought into this country, at least not without quarantine.
哈里:不允许把动植物带到这个国家,至少没隔离不让带。
Christina: Plants? You mean like these herb plants I bought?
克里斯汀娜:植物?你是说我买的这些药草吗?
Harry: I doubt if they’re prohibited. Wait, you can’t leave the car!
哈里:我怀疑他们是不是被禁止的。等一下,你不能下车!
Christina: What if this is contraband and they catch me with it?
克里斯汀娜:如果这是禁运品,他们会抓我吗?
Harry: They’ll confiscate it and send us on our way.
哈里:他们会没收物品,然后让我们走。
Christina: Are you sure?
克里斯汀娜:你确定吗?
Harry: Sure, I’m sure. They’d be much more interested in the bats I’m smuggling in my pants anyway.
哈里:确定,我确定,他们一定对我口袋里走私的蝙蝠更感兴趣。
Christina: What?!
克里斯汀娜:什么?!
