英语日常口语 Unit91:The truth about the watches手表真相 本单元是关于手表真相的对话 Police 1: Could you just sign here please? Tim: Yeah, sure. Can I do anything else to help? Police 1: I think we have everything we need. We"ve been watching your boss, I mean, your ex-boss, for some time, and we"ve long suspected that he was involved in a counterfeiting ring. With the statement you"ve just given us, the CCTV evidence, and Mrs Hall"s statement too, I think we"ve got enough to secure a conviction. Tim: Mrs Hall? Police 2: Janet Hall: the rather posh customer who bought a watch from you just before Christmas. She recognised almost immediately that it was a fake, so she came to us straight away. But she was adamant that you couldn"t have been responsible. She said something about some lost money that you returned to her. Tim: Oh yeah, that. But when you interviewed me the other week you really seemed to think that I"d stolen the watches. Police 2 : Just doing our job, sir.
