Dr. Jill, have you heard about the robbery in my neighborhood?
吉尔博士，你听说我家附近发生的盗窃案了吗？
Oh, no, I hadn't. What happened?
哦，不，我没有。发生什么事了？
Someone stole the bicycles that were outside.
有人把停在外面的自行车偷走了。
Did the police catch the thief?
警察抓到小偷了吗？
They have a suspect--someone named Larry who was seen on video from a door camera.
他们找到了一名嫌疑人——一个名叫拉里的人，他被门上的摄像头拍到了。
Hey, that reminds me.
嘿，这倒提醒我了。
I was writing about the prepositions and patterns we use to report about crime.
我在写我们报道犯罪事件时使用的介词和句型。
You gave me another example: The police suspect Larry of stealing bicycles.
你帮我举了另一个例子：警察怀疑拉里偷自行车。
So we say "of" with suspect.
我们在suspect后使用“of”。
And notice the pronunciation changes when the verb becomes a noun.
注意动词变成名词时的发音变化。
Larry is a suspect.
拉里是嫌疑犯。
How did they catch him?
他们是怎么抓到他的？
He was trying to sell the bicycles at his yard sale.
他试图在他的庭院大甩卖上卖掉自行车。
They arrested him right there.
他们就在那里逮捕了他。
Let's see, we can say "Larry was alleged to have stolen the bicycles."
让我们想想，我们可以说“拉里被指控偷了自行车。”
Have they charged him yet?
他们起诉他了吗？
I read in the news that he was charged with stealing ten bicycles.
我在新闻上看到他被指控偷了十辆自行车。
That's another preposition--charged with.
这是另一个介词——charged with。
But of course, he pled "not guilty" to the charges.
但当然，他对这些指控提出抗辩。
He said he "found the bikes".
他说他“发现了这些自行车”。
And one more preposition, pleaded "not guilty" to the charges.
又一个介词，对这些指控提出抗辩。
Is that right, "Pleaded?"
“Pleaded”对吗？
Yes, it is correct.
是的，它是正确的。
The past tense for the legal word, to plead is "pleaded."
这个法律术语的过去式是“pleaded”。
But in everyday use, we can say someone "pled" not guilty.
但在日常使用中，我们可以说某人表示无罪。
Thanks, I learned something new.
谢谢，我学到了一些新东西。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
以上就是今天的《每日语法》。
