Hi Finn. I'm so happy.
嗨，芬恩。我非常高興。
I'm going to buy a brand new computer this afternoon and it's very, very cheap.
今天下午我要去買新電腦，而且那電腦非常非常便宜。
What a bargain, Li! Where are you going to buy it? Can I go with you?
莉，那真是太劃算了！你要去哪兒買啊？我能跟你一起去么？
I'm going to meet a friend of my neighbour's cousin. He's selling it.
我要去見我鄰居堂兄得朋友。那是他賣得電腦。
Do you know this man, Li?
莉，你認識這個人么？
No, but he sounded very nice on the phone. He's nice but a bit clumsy.
不認識，不過在電話中他聽起來非常友好。他很友好，不過有些笨拙。
Alright. Why?
好吧。為什么這么說？
He told me the computer fell off the back of his lorry but it works perfectly.
他說電腦從上車后面掉下來了，不過電腦可以正常運轉。
It fell off the back of a lorry?!
電腦來路不明？
Yes. But it came in a very strong box and he said it was in perfect condition.
是啊。不過電腦裝在非常堅固得箱子里，而且他說電腦完好無損。
Li, the computer didn't actually fall off anywhere. It was taken.
莉，那臺電腦并不是從某個地方掉下來。它是偷來得。
What do you mean?!
你是什么意思？
In English, when you say something 'fell off the back of a lorry', or if you say something is 'off the back of a lorry', what you mean is that it was received in suspicious circumstances.
在英語中，如果你說某個東西fell off the back of a lorry，或者說off the back of a lorry，意思是得到那個東西得方式存在可疑。
It was probably stolen.
很可能是偷來得。
Stolen?!
偷來得？
Yes. In the US and Australia they say 'fell off the back of a truck', but it means the same thing.
對，美國和澳大利亞會說fell off the back of a truck，意思是相同得。
It's a humorous way of describing stolen property.
這是一種形容贓物得幽默說法。
Oh. It's a crime! There's nothing humorous about that.
第二遍，請跟讀：哦，那是犯罪??！這可一點兒也不幽默。
