大美女尽显英雄本色，偷车贼只能逃之夭夭！英语读头条（第48期）

Woman stops car thief: 'I'm not dealing with this sort of crap today!’

抓住偷车贼的女人说：“我今天还就不信这个邪了！”

Melissa Smith's message to a would-be car thief was blunt: "I'm not dealing with this sort of crap today!”

Melissa Smith对偷车贼发出的最直接的信息是：“我今天就是不信这个邪了！”

The thief was attempting to steal her SUV, but she wasn't going to let that happen. In fact, she jumped on the vehicle and mounted its hood, refusing to get off until the perpetrator gave up.

盗贼本想偷她的SUV，但是她却不那么善罢甘休，事实上，她爬到了汽车盖上，拒绝下来，直到盗车贼最终放弃。

The incident, which occurred on Wednesday at a gas station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was captured on video and has since gone viral.

这一事件，发生在周三，在威斯康星州、密耳瓦基的一个加油站，被监控录像捕捉到了全过程，并在网络上被热播。

Commenting on the episode, CNN's Brooke Baldwin asked Smith: "Are you crazy?"

CNN主播Brooke Baldwin在播放了这段画面后，问Smith：“你是不是疯啦？”

"Apparently a little," Smith replied, before explaining her actions.

“肯定有点儿，”在还没有解释她为什么这样做之前，她回答说。

"If I held onto the side, I knew he could just drag me and leave," she said. But with her on the hood, she knew he couldn't ignore her.

“我知道，如果我只是抓在车边上的话，他肯定会拖着我跑，”她说。但是如果她在车盖子上，他肯定不能轻易甩掉她。

Smith admitted that her actions weren't safe, but said she wouldn't "tolerate that sort of behavior.”

Smith承认她的做法确实不够安全，但是她说她不能“忍耐这样的行径。”

After the frightening ordeal, Smith said she called her fiancé, who had a "holy smokes moment" when he saw the video.

这件事情之后，Smith给她的未婚夫打电话，他在看这段录像的时候“简直是吓坏了”。

"He wasn't too thrilled with my decision, but is very glad that I am safe," she said.

“他对我的决定没有太过害怕，但是他看到我安全无事却是很开心，”她说。

"I was screaming at him. I pounded on the windshield a couple times," recalled Smith. "He, in turn, laughed at me...tried throwing me off, and continued to laugh at me.”

“我对着他大喊大叫，我不停的拍打玻璃窗，”Smith回忆道。“他，反过来还嘲笑我，想把我甩掉，然后继续嘲笑我。“

However, Smith got the last laugh.

但是，还是Smith笑到了最后。

After turning on the windshield wipers and slamming the brakes in an unsuccessful attempt to force her off the hood, the carjacker gave up and fled into another vehicle. Smith immediately jumped off the hood, into the cabin and stopped the rolling vehicle.

打开雨刷器，并不停的踩刹车，都无法将她从车前盖上甩下来，盗车贼只好放弃，逃跑到另外一辆车里。Smith随即跳下车，进入车里，把还在行走的车停了下来。
