Better hire a bodyguard——最好請個保鏢

Guns always gave me the willies. But when my new job required me to transport valuables, I decided I needed one for protection. Since I knew next to nothing about firearms, I joined a pistol club, hoping to pick up some much-needed pointers. After watching and evaluating my technique for a few weeks, the instructor pulled me aside.

"Are you open to a suggestion?" he asked.

"Absolutely," I replied.

"Hire a bodyguard," he said.

【中文譯文】

　　槍總是讓我膽戰心驚。但當我的工作需要我去運送貴重物品時，我覺得我真的需要一把槍來防身。 因爲我對武器幾乎一無所知，我參加了一家手槍俱樂部，希望學到一些必備的槍械知識。 經過數週對我的技巧的觀察和評估後，教練把我拉到一邊。“願意接受些建議嗎？” “沒有任何問題，請講”我回答。 “請個保鏢吧”教練說。
