英语听力原文：
And our final local story tonight,an angry NatWest cashier scares off two bank robbers.
Joan White,a 24-year-old cashier at the Bond Street branch of NatWest Bank stopped a bank
robbery after she got angry with one of the robbers.
Ms White started shouting at the robber after she lost her temper with him.When the man asked
her for the cash from her till,she threw it on the floor shouting at him,"If you want the money,you
pick it up."When he came behind the counter to pick up the money,she then hit the robber with a
stapler as he tried to get away.
Instead of taking the ￡2,500 that was in the till,he only got away with ￡25.The second robber
who was waiting by the front door also ran away.
Ms White,from Thfnell Park,North London,says she was angry because the robber shouted at her
and used rude words.
Both robbers were white and had strong Welsh accents.The robber who was hit by Ms White is
said to be about 5'10,of medium build,and with a tattoo of a bird on his left hand.He was wearing
blue cotton trousers,a white short-sleeve shirt and black shoes.The other robber was taller and
heavier,and was wearing black jeans,a blue I-shirt and while training shoes.He also had very short
hair and was suntanned.

今晚最后一则本地消息是，愤怒的NatWest 银行柜员吓跑两名抢匪。
乔安妮•怀特今年24 岁，是NatWest 银行庞德街分行的出纳员，她对两名银行抢匪中的一名
大发雷霆，阻止了他们抢劫银行的行动。
怀特小姐在对其中一名抢匪发火之后，开始对他大吼大叫。当抢匪要求她从存放现金的抽屉
拿钱出来时，她把钱丢在地板上大叫：“要钱就自己拿。”抢匪果然进到柜台捡钱，怀特小姐
便趁抢匪要逃跑时用订书机攻击抢匪。
结果抢匪并没有抢走现金抽屉中的2，500 英镑，而是只抢到了25 英镑。另一个在前门等候
的抢匪也跟着逃逸。
怀特小姐是伦敦北部腾飞诺地方的人，她表示她之所以生气，是因为抢匪对她吼叫，骂脏话。
两名抢匪都是白人，有浓厚的韦尔斯口音。怀特小姐攻击的抢匪据报身高约五尺十吋，中等
身材，左手上有个鸟图案的刺青，身穿蓝色棉长裤，短袖八色衬衫，黑鞋。另一名抢匪比较
