2011年6月真题短文3(2/2)

Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Hayes' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies. But Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlocked room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of artwork from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crimes she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year.

幸运的是，在绿色康州这个地方通常没有谋杀案。财产纠纷犯罪构成了海耶斯小姐报道的主要内容。这些案子从一些蓄意破坏物品的小案子到甚至更加严重的罪行都有，例如车祸，包括醉酒驾车和抢银行的案件。但是弗洛伦斯必须报道所有的违规行为包括小偷盗窃未锁门的学生宿舍中打印机的事件到从学校博物馆偷走价值一百万美元的艺术品的盗窃事件。海耶斯小姐喜欢为这个报社工作但是有时候她对于她必须报道的这些犯罪事件感到不高兴。她更喜欢着手写一些更有趣而且不会那么煞风景的事件，比如说地方新闻或者政坛事件，这项工作可能明年会开始。
