‘I managed to get him downstairs and out into the street after pulling his jacket down to trap his arms like I’d seen in the TV police series, The Sweeney. I was shouting “Thief! Thief”. Someone had heard me shouting and called the police, who arrived within minutes. Some passersby helped me restrain Peter, who by then had stopped fighting.’

“就像在电视里警匪片《斯维尼》看到的一样，在我扯下他夹克并压住他两条胳膊后，我成功地将他拽到楼下并带到了街上。我开始大声喊‘小偷，小偷’ 。有人听到了我的呼叫报了警，几分钟后警察赶到了。一些路过的人帮着我按住了皮特，他随后也停止了挣扎。”

The police bundled Peter — a serial offender out on parole for burglary — into the back of their van. He subsequently pleaded guilty to breaking and entering, and began a three-year sentence in London’s Pentonville Prison.

警察将皮特拷了起来丢进了警车里，这个入室盗窃的惯犯之前才刚获得假释出狱。不久后皮特就因非法闯入民宅罪名被判刑，在伦敦维尔监狱开始了三年的牢狱生活。

It was the 34th prison in which he had been incarcerated, but, despite having spent 18 years of his life in jail, Peter somehow remained hopeful that he could clean himself up, stop taking drugs and go on to do something useful on his eventual release.

如今已经是他第34次被关进监狱了，尽管人生中有18年是在牢狱中度过的，但是皮特还是希望能改过自新，戒了毒品然后在最终释放后做些有用的事儿。
