原文
Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he has not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting.
When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money.
Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.
译文
罗伊·特伦顿过去常常开出租车。然而,不久之前,他成了一名公共汽车司机,而且他并不后悔。他发现他的新工作要激动得多。
最近,当他沿着卡特福德街开车时,他看见两个贼从一家商店里冲出来,朝一辆等着的汽车跑去。其中一个提着一个装满钞票的袋子。
罗伊迅速行动起来,把公共汽车直朝贼开去。那个拿着钱的人吓了一跳,以致把袋子掉了。当贼企图乘车逃跑时,罗伊把公共汽车撞在了他们的车尾上。当那辆撞坏了的汽车开走时,罗伊停下公共汽车,给警察打了电话。小偷的汽车严重损坏,很容易辨认。不久之后,警察截住了那辆汽车,两个人都被逮捕了。
