城镇town [英][taʊn] [美][taʊn]中英文小故事：小镇法庭上的证人 一个小镇检察官要求他的第一个证人到庭——一位慈祥的老人。他走近她，问，“琼斯太太，你认识我吗？” 她回答说，“是的，我知道你，威廉姆斯先生。你还是一个年轻的男孩子的时候，我就认识你。坦白地说，你一直让我很失望。你撒谎，你欺骗你的妻子，你操纵的别人，在他们背后说坏话。当你认为你是一个正在崛起的大人物时，你没大脑意识到，你将永远不会有超过一部推草机。是的，我知道你。” 检察官惊呆了。不知道还能做什么，他指着对面的人问道，“琼斯太太，你认识这位辩护律师吗？” 她回答说，“为什么，是的，我认识。我从他是一个小孩子的时候，就认识这位布拉德利先生。我为他的父母照顾他。他，太让我太失望了。他很懒，偏执，他有酗酒的问题。他不能跟任何人建立那种正常关系，他的法律工作是整个国家最差的。是的，我认识他。” 在这种情况下，法官提示法庭要肃静，然后，把两个律师叫到身旁。用一个非常低沉的声音威胁说：“如果你们问她是否认识我，你们将会因为蔑视法庭在监狱里呆上5分钟！” A small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial--a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a lawn mower. Yes, I know you." The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, " Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he,too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him." At this point the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be in jail for contempt within 5 minutes!" 中英文例句 This town's gonna burn! 我要烧了这个镇！ How to know if a town is pet friendly 如何得知此城镇是否欢迎宠物 Hong kong has long been a red bordeaux town. 香港长期以来就是波尔多红酒小镇。 The river wear in durham, the historic university town 历史悠久的大学城达勒姆的威尔河 Beichuan, china: people visit the quake-hit town 中国北川：人们再访遭到地震袭击的城市 |
