只因吃沙拉这点小事儿,一男孩连打两次911把警察叫上了门......

This kid really hates salad.

这孩子真的讨厌沙拉。

A 12-year-old boy from Halifax, Nova Scotia, was so unhappy when his parents served him up a leafy dinner last week that he made his displeasure known — by calling 911.

上周,来自新斯科舍省哈利法克斯市的一个12岁的男孩怒打911报警,只因他的父母给他提供了一顿蔬菜晚餐。

When the cops did not respond to his emergency in a timely fashion, he called again, just to reiterate how much he hates crunching on a bowl of raw, tossed vegetables.

当警察没有及时回应他时,他再次打去电话,只是重申他有多么讨厌咀嚼一碗生的、搅拌好的蔬菜。

As CBC News reports, the Canadian police did eventually arrive at his door.

据加拿大广播公司报道,加拿大警方最终到达他家。

They did not, however, intervene on the quality and substance of the family’s dinner. Rather, they used the unexpected house call as an opportunity to educate the boy about the appropriate uses of 911.

然而,他们并没有对家庭晚餐的质量和内容进行干预。相反,他们利用这次意外的上门拜访机会来教育这个男孩如何正确使用911。

“Hopefully this will be a learning lesson,” Cpl. Dal Hutchinson told CBC News.

达尔.哈钦森中校告诉加拿大广播公司:“希望这是一个教训。”

Meanwhile, the kid’s parents were reportedly “not impressed” by their son’s over-the-top cry for help.

与此同时,孩子的父母据说对儿子夸大其词的呼救“不以为然”。

But was it a Caeser or a Waldorf? Sadly, Hutchinson had very little to say about the composition of the salad.

但它是凯撒沙拉还是华尔道夫沙拉呢?遗憾的是,哈钦森对沙拉的成分没什么可说的。

“Obviously [it was] one to dislike because he called 911.”

“很明显,他不喜欢这个沙拉,因为他打了911。”
