Rob: So, one of them lost a bike and the other one lost his chocolate biscuits.
Helen: 自行车和巧克力饼干都被偷了,真倒霉。该请警察们出动破案了。
Rob: Yes. The police can definitely help them by nicking those petty thieves .
Helen: This is confusing. 你说警察也能 nick? 他们能偷东西?这不大可能吧?
Rob: No, no, no, no. The police cant nick things from people. But when they arrest someone, we can say the person is nicked. It means theyre arrested by the police .
Example
Woman: Have you heard from Inspector James?
Man: No. Hes working on a big case. I think they have just nicked the main suspect!
Helen: 我明白了,如果警察抓住了犯罪分子, 那么我们就可以用 nick 这个词来表示警察逮捕了某人。所以 nick 这个词即可以是指东西被偷了,也可以指警察抓住坏人了。
Rob: Helen, youve got it. Just remember its not a formal expression.
Helen: Thanks. Ill keep that in mind. 我记住了 nick 是地道的英国口语。谢谢收听。 Bye for now.
Rob: Bye!
