听力每日练习 listen 1710 Play with Fire

1--They say he has started fifteen big fires.

2--He's been in jail three times already.

1--Why did they ever let him out?

2--It's the law. They can't keep him in jail forever.

1--Why not? Everyone knows he's a firebug. He loves to start fires.

2--I don't know. Sometimes the law doesn't make sense.

1--But his latest fire killed someone.

2--This time they have charged him with murder.

1--So maybe he'll go to jail forever?

2--I sure hope so.

1--Someone should set him on fire.

2--That would teach him a good lesson.

译文：

1--他们说他曾经引起15场大火。

2--他已经进过3次监狱。

1--他们为什么放他出来？

2--法律就是这样。他们不能把他永远关在监狱。

1--为什么不能？每个人都知道他是个纵火犯。他喜欢纵火。

2--我不知道。有时候法律也没道理。

1--但他最近的纵火害死了别人。

2--这次他们指控他犯了谋杀罪。

1--那么他或许要永远在监狱里了？

2--我当然希望如此。

1--应该有人放火烧他。

2--那会好好给他一个教训。
