My boss is without peer when it comes to the rules and regulations that customs officials must follow. But when it comes to the law, well, that's a different story. We were attending a court case in which we were prosecuting a smuggler. The judge asked the court, “Who makes these allegations?” My boss stood up and proclaimed, “I am the alligator.”
我的上司在论及海关官员必须遵守的原则和规定的时候是无人可比的。但是,碰到法律问题的时候就不是那么回事了。我们在审理一个走私犯的案子中出庭。法官问法庭:“是谁做这些指控的?”我的上司起立并宣告:“我是指控人。”(可是他用错了字,成了“我是鳄鱼”。)
