irreversible-junior The junior editor
初級編輯
One day the journalistic curiosity got the best of the junior editor.
一天, 一名初級編輯不禁產生 了新聞工作者的好奇心
He knew that a certain thief was becoming an irritation to people jogging in a nearby park.
他知道有個小偷 正在騷擾在附近公園慢 跑的人,
He decided, therefore to isolate himself in a tree at an important junction and watch to catch the thief.
于是他決定藏在一顆樹 上 在一個重要交叉路口, 以便監視并抓住那個 小偷。
His joints were just becoming sore when the irreversible event occurred; he saw the thief not just take jewelry but murder a woman.
等到那件不可挽回的事 情發生的時候他的關節 卻開始疼了。 他看到那個小偷不但偷 了珠寶, 還殺了一個女 人。
This had not been on his itinerary. But because he had seen the man's face clearly,
這可不在初級編輯的 計劃之中。 但他看清了小偷的臉,
the junior editor was sure that he could put the man in jail. Then the junior editor watched as the man threw the woman's body
所以確信能把他送進 監獄。 然后初級編輯又看見小 偷把女人的尸體扔進
in an irrigation ditch. This would be the cover story of the next issue of the newspaper for sure!
灌溉渠道。 這篇報道寫出來肯定會 成為下一期報紙的封面 故事!
That was when an item fell from the junior editor's bag. His journal landed in the bushes and the thief/murderer immediately saw him.
就在這時, -件東西從 初級編輯的包里掉了 出來。 是他的雜志掉進了灌木 叢, 那個小偷殺人犯立 刻發現了他。
Boy was he in a jam now! The junior editor quickly pulled a can of irritant spray from his bag
這下初級編輯真是進 退兩難了! 他趕忙從包里掏出一瓶 刺激性的噴霧劑,
and prepared to spray the eyes of the thief/murderer. The thief/murderer didn't want to jeopardize anything, however,
準備噴小偷殺人犯的 眼睛。 但那個小偷殺人犯并 不想再冒任何風險,
and jetted away on a motorcycle that he pulled from some bushes as thick as those of a jungle.
他從一塊如密林的灌木 叢中拖出一輛摩托車 飛馳而去。
All of the editors were jealous when the junior editor made front- page the following day
所有的編輯都嫉妒不已 第二天初級編輯上了 頭版,
and declared a hero. He correctly identified the thief/murderer
并被評為英雄, 他準確地指認出那個 小偷殺人犯,
and the police brought him in. Soon trees were filled with other young reporters hoping to catch their own thief.
警察把他抓了起來。 很快, 樹上蹲滿了其他 想捉賊的年輕記者。
None came, however, and the junior editor was promoted to full editor for his bravery.
但是再也沒來過小偷, 而初級編輯則因為英勇 表現被升為正式編輯。
