　　艾凡：希望没有!我们没有做错任何事。她说我们的文件都没问题，况且我们也没有携带任何违禁品。我猜她说话算话，他们只是在做一项抽查而已

　　K:Maybe they're searching for drugs. A lot of young people use drugs these days. We're from the States. Maybe they think we're drug dealers.

　　凯西：也许他们在搜查毒品。时下有许多年轻人嗑药。我们是美国人。也许他们认为我们是毒贩。

　　E:Do we look like drug dealers?

　　艾凡：我们看起来像是毒贩吗?

　　K:Who knows? Maybe they're just being careful. How long do you think they'll take?

　　凯西：谁知道呢?他们也许只是小心罢了。你认为他们会花多久的时间呢?

　　E:She said about 10 minutes. Oh, look! Now one of the officers is leaving. The other one is looking under the seats.

　　艾凡：她说大概十分钟左右。哦，瞧!有一名官员现在走开了。另外那个在检查车椅下面。
