Mr. and Mrs. Li and
their daughter Alice went
to the cinema yesterday
evening. They came
home at ten o’clock.
“Look at our flat,”
M r s . L i s a i d . “Ou r
window is broken. It wasn’t broken this afternoon.” “Perhaps
there’s a thief in our flat,” said Mr. Li.
Mr. and Mrs. Li opened the front door of their flat and
looked in every room. There was no one there. “Where’s your
camera?” Mrs. Li asked. “Did the thief take it?” Mr. Li looked for
his camera. “I can’t find it,” he said. “I’ll call the police.”
A few minutes later a policeman came to the house. He
went into Alice’s room. “The thief came in here,” he said. “Look
at this room. It’s very untidy.”
“Oh no!” Alice said. “A thief didn’t make the room untidy.
My room is always untidy.”

                 不整洁的房间

昨天晚上李先生和李太太还有他们的女儿爱丽丝一起去看电影了。十点
左右他们回到了家里。
“看咱们的家啊，”李太太说，“窗户坏了，下午还没有坏呢。”“可
能来小偷了。”李先生说。
李先生和李太太打开门开始检查每一个房间，屋里没有人。“你的照相
机在哪里？”李太太问。“是让小偷偷走了吗？”李先生在找他的照相机。
“我找不到，”他说，“我这就报警。”
几分钟后一名警察来了。他来到爱丽丝房间。“小偷来过这里，”警察
说，“看看这间屋子，乱糟糟的。”
“噢，不！”爱丽丝说，“不是小偷把这间屋子弄乱的，我的房间一直
都是这样。”
