精讲笔记：
10、The thieves，car was badly damaged and easy to recognize.
小偷的车损坏严重，俱容易辨认。
语言点 badly —词基本意思是“坏地”,引申为“严重地，厉害地”。例：
China national football team was badly beaten in the race and came back.
中国国家足球队惨败而归。
11、Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.
没过多久，警察就截住了那辆车，两个小偷都被抓住了。
语言点 本句中“停车”和“抓贼”是两个连贯动作，所以用and连接为并列句。
