45. The Offender

犯规者

The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle. With only one bicycle, my brother had to sit behind me on parcel rack.

一天我和弟弟骑车去看电影，因为只有一辆自行车，弟弟只好坐在后座上。

Both of us kept an eye on the policemen, but, to our surprise, a young man and a girl came up and stopped us at a crossroad.

我们俩都仔细注意有没有警察，但是，令人惊讶的是一对青年男女走上前来拦住了我们。

"We've found you at long last," they cried. However, we didn't know them. The young man seemed to read our thought and explained, "The policeman stopped us about half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender. Now it is your turn. Don't leave until you catch the next.

“我们终于找到了你们！”他们叫着，然而我们并不认识他们。这个男青年似乎看出我们的想法，解释说：“半小时前警察拦住了我们，并罚我们在这儿抓到下一个犯规的。现在该你们了。抓到下一个犯规的你们才能离开。

I hope that you don't have to wait as long as we did. Good luck."

我希望你们不会像我们等这么久。祝你们好运！”
