第1段
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr. Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since eight o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.
皮卡迪利大街附近的一条著名拱廊街道上，几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候，拱廊街道几乎没有顾客。珠宝店主泰勒先生正在欣赏新布置的橱窗。他手下两名店员从早上8点就开始忙了起来，这时刚好布置完毕。钻石项链、戒指漂亮地陈列在黑色丝绒上面。泰勒先生站在橱窗外凝神欣赏了几分钟就回到了店里。
第2段
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweller's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr. Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr. Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街。车在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上，另外两个黑丝蒙面人跳下车来用铁棒砸碎了商店橱窗的玻璃。抢劫发生时，泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外扔家具，椅子、桌子飞落到拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的雕像砸中，但他顾着抢钻石首饰，完全无视疼痛的存在。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上车，极速狂飙。就在轿车离开的时候，泰勒先生从店里冲了出来，跟在车后追赶，还一边往车上扔烟灰缸和花瓶。但他已无力回天。他们已经带着价值数千英镑的钻石逃之夭夭了。
