The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.“My baby has been missing for over a month now,and I want him back so badly,” said Mrs.Brown,a 56-year-old woman.Mrs.Brown lives by herself in a trailer park near Clovis.She said that Clyde,her 7-year-old cat,didn’t come home for dinner more than a month ago.The next morning he didn’t appear for breakfast either.After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch,she called the police.
When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde,she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes,had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear,and was seven years old and completely white.She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.
A bell went off.“Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked.“Well,he’s my cat,of course,” Mrs.Brown replied.“Lady,you’re supposed to report missing PERSONS,not missing CATS,” said the irritated policeman.“Well,who can I report this to?” she asked.“You can’t.You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.
我知道光是书面翻译过来的意思,但是这篇文章是讲得什么意思还是一头雾水.
文章讲述了一位高龄妇女丢失她的猫,请求当地警察的帮助却遭拒绝,说他们警察找人,不找猫,并建议妇女询问邻居或贴传单找猫的事.
(我也是这么翻译的,阅读理解也没太高要求,内涵不是随便能读懂的,这篇文章可能是讽刺这位警察的)有不明白,在提问,或许可以帮忙.
