Keke Funny Moment

可可轻松一刻

Treat
款 待

As a rookie in the Atlantic City, New.Jersey , Police department, I was assigned a beat on the boardwalk.
我是新泽西州大西洋城警察局的一名新警察。我被指派巡逻一条海滨的路线，

Hardly a day went by when I didn't come upon a child who had become separated from his parents.
几乎每天都能碰上与父母走散的孩子。

One afternoon, I spotted a small boy standing alone, obviously lost.
一天下午，我发现一个小孩独自站在那里，显然是迷了路。

I tried to gain his confidence - I took him to the nearest ice-cream stand and bought him a cone.
我先是设法取得他的信任－我带他到附近的冰淇淋摊给他买了一个蛋筒。

Time passed with no sign of the boy's parents, so the next step was to call for a patrol car to take him to headquarters.
过了很长时间，也没看见他父母的影子，所以我就准备打电话叫辆巡逻车将他送回总部去。

I told the small fry to stay put while I went to the call box. When I returned, he was nowhere in sight.
我告诉他站在那里别动，我去电话亭打电话。当我回来时，却发现他不知道到哪儿去了。

Within minutes, the car arrived, and one of the patrolmen asked me where the child was.
警车很快来了。一名警察问我小孩在哪里。

I felt stupid; it's humiliating to say you've lost a lost child.
我感觉自己傻极了，说自己弄丢了一个迷路的小孩，该多丢人啊！

But I told the officers what had happened and gave a description of the boy. "What did you treat him?" asked one of the men.
但我还是告诉了警察们所发生的一切，并描述了一下小孩的长相。“你请他吃了什么？”一名警察问。

"An ice-cream cone. Why?"
“一个冰淇淋蛋筒。怎么啦？”

"Because," answered the officer, "that kid lives only a few blocks from here, and you've about the fifth rookie he's conned for a treat!"
“因为，”那名警察说，“那个小孩住的地方离这儿只隔几个街区。而你大概是新警察中帮他买东西吃的第五个傻瓜蛋！”
