居住周?chē)闹伟膊缓茫雇頃?huì)出現(xiàn)哪些犯罪事件

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論居住環(huán)境，
 
居住周?chē)闹伟膊缓?，夜晚?huì)出現(xiàn)哪些犯罪事件
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A:  are you still coming to my place for dinner tomorrow night?
 
你明天晚上還會(huì)來(lái)我家吃飯嗎？
 
B:  of course. Is the dinner still on?
 
當(dāng)然去.你的晚餐會(huì)還開(kāi)嗎?
 
A:  yes, I was just wondering how you and your roommate were planning on coming to my place.
 
開(kāi),我只是想知道你和你的室友打算怎么來(lái)我家？
 
B:  we were planning on walking both ways since the weather is still nice.
 
最近天氣很不錯(cuò)，所以我們打算來(lái)回都步行。
 
A:  that's what I thought you would do. Listen, I live in a bit of a rough neighborhood. It's just down the street from all the bars. You probably don't want to be walking around after dark.
 
我猜你們就是這么打算的。聽(tīng)著，我住的地方附近有點(diǎn)亂。緊挨著一條全是酒吧的街。所以，天黑以后你大概不想在附近步行。
 
B:  it can't be that bad.
 
不會(huì)那么糟糕吧。
 
A:  I wish it wasn't, but there is actually a lot of crime and prostitution around here.
 
我也希望不會(huì)，可是實(shí)際上這附近的確是犯罪活動(dòng)和賣(mài)淫活動(dòng)的多發(fā)地段.
 
B:  really? I never would have guessed. The criminals must only come out in the evenings, because I've never noticed anything strange when I've been at your house in the daytime.
 
真的?。课覐膩?lái)沒(méi)想到會(huì)這樣。犯罪事件一定都是在晚上才發(fā)生的吧。因?yàn)槲乙郧鞍滋烊ツ慵业臅r(shí)候從來(lái)沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)附近有什么奇怪的地方。
 
A:  do me a favor, and take a taxi. It'd make me feel a lot better.
 
就算幫我個(gè)忙，你們還是打車(chē)來(lái)吧。這樣我能覺(jué)得放心些。
 
B:  ok, we will. How do you get around in the evenings?
 
好，我們會(huì)的。那你晚上怎么在附近活動(dòng)呢？
 
A:  when I first moved in, I walked everywhere. But within a week, I had my purse stolen—just a block away from the police station! Now, I always take public transportation.
 
我剛搬進(jìn)來(lái)的時(shí)候，到哪兒都是走著去. 可是不到一個(gè)星期,我的錢(qián)包就被偷了---要知道只隔著一個(gè)街區(qū)就是警察局了!現(xiàn)在,我通常都乘坐公共交通工具.
 
B:  has anything else happened to you?
 
你還遇到過(guò)什么其它事情嗎?
 
A:  nothing else has happened to me, but I have seen quite a few fights on the streets after the bars close.
 
我本人是沒(méi)再發(fā)生過(guò)什么了,可是我在街上看到過(guò)幾次打架,都是酒吧打烊以后.
 
B:  well, we'll be careful. Thanks for letting me know.
 
哦,我們會(huì)小心的.謝謝你告訴我這些.
