Perhaps he was thirsty, or it was because he never got enough calcium as a child, or maybe he had a thing for dressing like a farm animal. 或許,他是渴了;或許,他從小缺鈣;又或許,他對“人扮獸裝”情有獨鍾。

Whatever the reason Stafford sheriff's authorities say a man donned a cow costume and not walked, but crawled into a Walmart store on Garrisonville Road in North Stafford. 不管是神馬原因,據斯塔福縣政府的消息,一個穿着奶牛裝的男子爬(注意,是“爬”不是“走”哦!)進了北斯塔福Garisonville路上的一家沃爾瑪。

男子扮“奶牛俠盜” 爬進沃爾瑪偷牛奶

On two feet, security guards inside the store said the upright cow was caught on video tape placing 26 gallons of milk - about $92 worth of the moo-cow juice - into a shopping cart, and then simply rolled it out of without paying. 商場保安說,他們在錄像中看到這隻兩腳直立的“奶牛”把26加侖價值約92美元的牛奶放進購物車,然後木有付錢,直接推了出去。

He then attempted to give the milk away to customers outside the store, and tried to flee the scene by skipping away, police said. 警察說,接着這頭“奶牛”試圖把偷來的牛奶分給店外的顧客,隨後連蹦帶跳的逃離了現場。

Jonathan Payton, 18, of North Stafford was issued a summon for shoplifting, and was released on his own recognizance. 當地警方以商場盜竊罪名向18歲的喬納森·佩頓發出傳票,隨後又在他本人的擔保下將其釋放。

As for the milk: a store manager found it sitting in a shopping cart outside the store. The cow costume was also recovered. 至於被偷去的牛奶嘛,被商場一位管理員在店外的購物車上發現了,而那件奶牛裝最終也被找到了。

原來,偷東西也可以這麼有創造性啊。。。笑過之後,我們來看看文中的幾個語言點吧:

1. have a thing for 對……十分喜歡/厭惡,特別恐懼

I always have a thing for cowboys. 我總是很迷牛仔。

Why do all men have a thing for manipulation? 爲什麼所有的男人都有控制慾?

All right, look, I do. I have a little thing for him. Just… 好吧,你說的沒錯 我對他是有點感覺,只是……

2. don v. 穿上

Bankers don aprons and become expert barbecue chefs. 銀行家穿上圍裙,就成了專業的燒烤廚師。

3. give away 贈送,分發

What can Santa give away and still keep? 啥子東西聖誕老人可以分發送去,本身卻也還留着?

With the best kind of work, you always feel like you give it away to the audience. 創作最好的作品,你總是感覺象把禮物分發到觀衆的手中。

4. issue 頒發,發給,一般是比較官方或正式的時候用~比如:issue a passport/certificate/document/business license/cash card/check/invitation...

5. recognizance 保證金,所以release on one's own recognizance就是某人交了保證金然後被釋放的意思~

6. as for 關於,至於

As for climate, food, and entertainment, I think home is best. 至於氣候、食物和娛樂,我認爲國內是最好的。

As for your payment term, is they down payment or unasked payment? 貴公司的付款條件是下定金呢還是分期付款?
