# 砸橱窗抢劫

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 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.

中文理解：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.

中文理解：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。

* **came to a stop**：停下来 / 返回 / 处理；和动作对象一起理解；deal with 既能处理问题，也能讨论主题。

#### Summary 摘要

A large car entered an arcade near Piccadilly and stopped outside a jeweller's. Two thieves got out and smashed the shop window. The owner of the shop was upstairs at the time, so he threw furniture at the thieves hitting one of them with a heavy statue. The raid lasted only three minutes and the thieves drove away. Running after them, the owner threw ashtrays and vases, but the thieves got away, stealing thousands of pounds worth of diamonds. (79 words)

#### Composition 作文They Got Away 他们逃跑了

\[1]Seeing the thieves' car join the traffic(汇入车流) on Piccadilly, Mr. Taylor took a taxi and followed them. The taxi driver drove at full speed(全速行驶) when Mr. Taylor told him what had happened.

\[2]There wasn't too much traffic at this time of the morning so there was a mad chase through the streets of London. For a short time, the thieves' car was on the wrong side of the road and hit another car, but it did not stop. Two policemen in a police car watched in amazement(看得目瞪口呆) as the two vehicles went past, both breaking the speed limit(超速). Lights on and horn blaring, the police car chased both the speeding cars. Mr. Taylor's taxi stopped when the traffic lights turned red. The thieves ignored the traffic lights and got away. Meanwhile, the police caught up with the taxi at the traffic lights and the taxi driver was charged with(承担、负责任) speeding. They refused to let the driver off, even though Mr. Taylor carefully explained the situation.

\[3]However, the police informed another police car of the chase and ten minutes later the thieves' car was found abandoned in a side street(边道). The thieves had escaped on foot and disappeared among the crowd. (200 words)
