外教讲解地道美语 第217期:胡子

Officer Brown: OK,Sally, we have an artist here to help us. We’ll ask you questions about the bank robber you saw and Paul will draw a picture. Are you ready?

Sally: Yes, hmmm. Well, he had brown hair... long  hair...and  he  had  some  facial hair... was brown, too.

Officer Brown: Good!  Ok, the facial hair, was it a beard or a mustache?

Sally: Both!  His mustache was very short and thin,  on the top of his lip.

Paul: un-uh hmmm..., like this?

Sally:  Yes, that’s the mustache!  But the beard isn’t right, mean, it didn’t cover his whole face... think it was just on his chin.

Officer Brown: A goatee? Was it like Paul’s?

Sally: Ah yes, that’s it, he had a goatee...

Paul: Okay,  what about sideburns?   Did he have sideburns?

Sally: Um, they were long and thick, yours!

Paul: Alright, was this the man you saw?

Sally: Yes, that’s him! Hmmmmm, he looks a lot like you.

Officer Brown: Hmmm, why yes he does. Paul, where were you on Friday afternoon?

Paul: What? That’s ridiculous! It wasn’t me! I didn’t do anything.
