How did Roy stop the thieves?
Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he has not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

捉賊
羅伊.特雷頓原是開出租汽車的,然而就在前不久,他開上了公共汽車,也并不為此而感到后悔。他發(fā)覺自己的新工作令人興奮得多。最近,當(dāng)他正開車在凱特福德街上行駛時(shí),看到有兩個(gè)小偷從一家商店里沖出來(lái),奔向等在那里的一輛汽車,其中一個(gè)提著一只裝滿鈔票的提包。羅伊行動(dòng)迅速,開車直沖竊賊而去。拿錢的那個(gè)小偷嚇得把提包都扔了。當(dāng)那兩個(gè)小偷企圖乘車逃跑時(shí),羅伊駕駛他的公共汽車撞在了那輛車的后尾上。當(dāng)那輛被撞壞的車開走后,羅伊停下車,給警察掛了電話。小偷的車損壞嚴(yán)重,很容易辨認(rèn)。沒過(guò)多久,警察就截住了那輛車,兩個(gè)小偷都被抓住了。
