地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客654:被警察逮捕（雙語(yǔ)）

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。這時(shí)一個(gè)警察攔住我。他問(wèn)了我?guī)讉€(gè)關(guān)于我從哪兒來(lái)，要去哪兒的問(wèn)題后，讓我把雙手放到背后。他要逮捕我!給我銬上手銬，給我講了米蘭達(dá)規(guī)則。我問(wèn)他為什么要逮捕我，他說(shuō)他有理由相信我是他們一直在尋找的發(fā)生在另一條街區(qū)的一起盜竊案的嫌疑犯。

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.

我簡(jiǎn)直不敢相信!我完全是清白的，但是警察不想聽(tīng)我說(shuō)。他把我放進(jìn)警車后座，然后開(kāi)車去警局。我被投進(jìn)監(jiān)獄，幾小時(shí)后，他們帶我進(jìn)一間房，開(kāi)始審問(wèn)。

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.

一名警察問(wèn)完一個(gè)問(wèn)題又問(wèn)另一個(gè)，四個(gè)小時(shí)的審問(wèn)后，最終我被釋放。后來(lái)我才知道這是一場(chǎng)誤會(huì)，我跟他們尋找的嫌疑人很像，而且我在錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)間出現(xiàn)在錯(cuò)誤的場(chǎng)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?yàn)樗麄冋`逮捕我，我可以起訴警察局，但我決定不起訴。我希望能夠把整件事忘掉，希望自己能夠不再這么倒霉了。
