地道美语听力播客954：防护措施做到哪样，小偷才不会来？

Martin: Why do you look so upset?

马丁：你怎么这么失落?

Joselyn: Our neighbor’s house was broken into last night. The burglar stole her laptop and some jewelry. Like us, she doesn’t have a security system.

约瑟琳：昨晚邻居家失窃了。丢了笔记本电脑和一些首饰。和我们一样，她也没有安装安保系统。

Martin: Burglar alarms aren’t foolproof. Well, I’m not letting any burglars get close to our house. Let’s go.

马丁：防盗报警器也不能确保万无一失。好了，我不会让任何小偷靠近咱们的房子的，我们走吧。

Joselyn: Where are we going?

约瑟琳：去哪儿?

Martin: To the home improvement store. We need to buff up our security. I want to install motion detectors, floodlights, and security cameras to the outside of the house.

马丁：家居装饰店。我们需要增强家里的防护。我打算在屋外安装探测器，探照灯还有摄像头。

Joselyn: I suppose that’s a good idea.

约瑟琳：好主意。

Martin: I also want to put a timer on our indoor lights and a better deadbolt for the front door.

马丁：我还想给室内的灯安装一个计时器，在大门加一道更加结实的门闩。

Joselyn: Those will probably help.

约瑟琳：会很管用的。

Martin: We can find out the cost of metal bars for the windows and a security door.

马丁：我们也可以看看窗户上装上金属栏和装上安全门要花多少钱。

Joselyn: Whoa, I think that might be a bit much.

约瑟琳：哦，我想得花不少钱。

Martin: Nonsense. If we’re going to do something, we’re going to do it right. Barbed wire on top of our fence would probably be next…

马丁：那还用说。既然要做一件事，那就要做好。下一步给咱们家篱笆围上铁丝。

Joselyn: That’s not a good idea…

约瑟琳：那就不好了。

Martin: And last but not least, we’ll need an attack dog.

马丁：最后，我们要养一只警犬。

Joselyn: An attack dog?! This is sounding more like a military compound than a home.

约瑟琳：一只警犬?那倒像是个警局,而不是家了。

Martin: That’s right. When I’m done, Fort Knox will have nothing on us !

马丁：没错。等我的杰作完工，就连诺克斯堡也拿我没法儿!
