Instead, he said he was a pol
7、ice officer and he was arresting me. 我以为他要问我时间,不料他说他是警官,要逮捕我。At first I thought it was some kind of joke.

10、s a result, I want to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. 所以我想装出一副冷漠的、对这一事件满不在乎的样子。于是我尽量用一种漫不经心的极其随便的腔调说,“你们跟踪我多久啦?” I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of si
11、tuation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable character. 这样一来,在他们眼里,我就像是非常熟悉这一套的了,也使他们更加确信我是一个地地道道的坏蛋。A few minutes later a police car arrived. 几分钟后,开来了一辆警车。Get in the back, they said.

15、出庭的时候,带了各种各样的证人,其中包括我中学的英语老师,做我人品的见证人。But he was never called on to give evidence.

The poor police had never stood a chance. 我无罪获释。可怜的警方一点儿赢的机会都没有。The solic
16、itor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police. 我的律师甚至让法庭责成警方承担了诉讼费用。And so I do not have a criminal record. 这样,我的履历上没有留下犯罪的记录。 But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. 但当时最令人震惊的,是那些显然导致宣布我无罪的证据。I had the right accent,
17、respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. 我讲话的口音“表明我教养良好”,到庭的有体面的中产阶级的双亲,有可靠的证人,还有,我显然请得起一名很好的律师。Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed
18、, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. 从对我指控的这种捕风捉影的做法来看,我肯定,如果我出身在另一种背景的家庭里,并且真的是失了业的话,我完全可能被判有罪。While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitors case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a brilliant academic record. 当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时,他公然把辩护的证据建立在我“学业优异”这一事实上。Mea

I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!大概是说我本该显出愤愤不平的样子,并说,“喂
21、,留神点,你知道你在跟谁说话?我是学业出众的高材生。你敢抓我!”Then they, presumably, would have apologized, perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way. 那样一来,他们或许会向我道歉,说不定还会脱帽致意,让我走开呢。NEW WORDS(新词) brushn. brief fight or encounter 小冲突;小接触 processn. course; method, esp. one used in manufacture 过程;制作法 arbitrarya. based
