Overdue Video | 逾期未还

English Original

Without realizing it, I walked right into a police stakeout at my local Blockbuster.

When a young man stepped out the door, a group of officers pounced, cuffing him and hustling him into a squad car.

Seeing my astonished, frozen expression, one cop came over and said, "When they say the movie is due by noon the next day... they mean it!"


中文翻译

我毫无察觉地走进了当地百视达音像店外的一场警方埋伏。

当一个年轻人走出店门时,一群警察猛扑过去,给他戴上手铐,迅速将他押进了一辆警车。

看到我惊愕呆滞的表情,一名警察走过来对我说:“他们说电影第二天中午前必须归还……他们是认真的!”
