Bodyguard: 1. They're having almost daily conferences and keeping me out of the loop? Why? No idea, ma'am. She's overruled 否决 our security advice. She's taking the 1st of October attack off us. Unjustified 没道理可的, unprecedented. This is a very, very dangerous politician. Someone who must be stopped. But a politician who happens to regard you as her blue-eyed boy 高看一等的, 另眼相看, 青眼有加 ( a person highly regarded by someone and treated with special favour. "the problem that managers may favour their blue-eyed boys". blue-eyed I. having or representing childlike innocence. II. Someone's favorite, as in blue-eyed boy. green-eyed 艳羡的, 嫉妒的, 羡慕的 jealous, envious. the green-eyed monster jealousy or envy. ). There's an upside to the Home Secretary having you reinstated 复职. You know everyone she meets, when, where, how long. We've arranged to keep her at The Blackwood, with an adjoining room. My surveillance team will issue you with the necessary equipment to monitor her meetings. Is that lawful 合适吗? 那样好吗? 合法的吗(The terms lawful and legal differ in that the former contemplates the substance of law, whereas the latter alludes to the form of law. A lawful act is authorized, sanctioned, or not forbidden by law. A legal act is performed in accordance with the forms and usages of law, or in a technical manner. In this sense, illegal approaches the meaning of invalid. For example, a contract or will, executed without the required formalities, might be regarded as invalid or illegal, but could not be described as unlawful. The term lawful more clearly suggests an ethical content than does the word legal. The latter merely denotes compliance with technical or formal rules 合法的, whereas the former usually signifies a moral substance or ethical permissibility. An additional distinction is that the word legal is used as the synonym of constructive, while lawful is not. Legal fraud is Fraud implied by law, or made out by construction, but lawful fraud would be a contradiction in terms. Legal is also used as the antithesis of equitable, just. As a result, legal estate is the correct usage, instead of lawful estate. Under certain circumstances, however, the two words are used as exact equivalents. A lawful writ, warrant, or process is the same as a legal writ, warrant, or process.), ma'am? I've got my duties as a PPO. I'd rather stick to those, ma'am. She's got you wrapped round her finger. I see this all the time, David. The minister ingratiates himself with the PPO(ingratiate yourself with someone 取悦, 拉拢 showing disapproval to try to get someone's approval by doing or saying things that will please them. If someone tries to ingratiate themselves with you, they do things to try and make you like them. Many politicians are trying to ingratiate themselves with her. ). A favour here, pulling strings there. You think it's out of the goodness of their heart? It's so you'll keep their secrets, no matter what. Our investigation is well under way into the bombing that took place right next to your kids' school. We heard the Security Service had advance knowledge 事先知情 schools were targets. And who do they run to with their intelligence 情报? One of her team told me, in strictest confidence, as soon as the school was mentioned, she recognised the name straightaway. There's only one plausible explanation. She'd been given prior intelligence it was a target. All your precious Home Secretary had to do was say the word and your kids would have been out of harm's way. But she sat back and let it happen. 2. He was carrying no ID or devices. Fingerprints haven't thrown up a database match either. We'll find out, and his accomplices if there are any. I'm not here. Eyes front 看前面, 脸朝前(eyes front (or left or right) a military command to turn the head in the direction stated. "'Eyes front!' he screamed at the men before him".). You've distinguished yourself 让人刮目相看 again, David. I intend to put you forward for a commendation (I. formal official or public praise. II. [countable] an official prize given to someone who has done something very good or brave). There's even talk of a medal 奖章. Thank you very much, ma'am. Obviously, Thornton Circus will have to be looked into by the IOPC, as the gunman died at the scene, but all the witnesses say you acted with complete professionalism. There's 101 places I need to be. Sorry, ma'am. 3. stage-manage I. to arrange and control an event carefully in order to achieve the result you want. arrange and control (something) carefully in order to create a certain effect. "he stage-managed his image with astounding success". Many people have become cynical about the stage-managed debates between politicians which regularly appear on television. II. be responsible for the lighting and other technical arrangements for (a stage play). How are you feeling, Home Secretary? I'm feeling ready to return to my mission of fighting the enemies of democracy and I'm undaunted in my determination 没有被吓倒 to pass the RIPA-18 legislation needed to get that job done. Not stage-managed at all. Who's she trying to kid? Oh, yeah, Number Ten. 4. I've got a meeting in the morning with Stephen Hunter-Dunn. Maybe the Security Service can shed more light. Why were the police held back from 被阻挡, 被阻止 entering the square? It wasn't safe for unarmed officers to go in. No, I don't mean them, the ARVs(An armed response vehicle (ARV) is a type of police car operated by British law enforcement. ARVs are crewed by Authorised Firearms Officers to respond to incidents believed to involve firearms or other high-risk situations.). We were under attack, you, me, members of the public. Terry was blown apart. Ma'am, are you all right? Who would give that order? To hold resources back and leave us in the line of fire 火线下? I can't imagine that's what was going on. I can't imagine for a moment the ARVs were being held back without good reason. First priority's preservation of life. I was being shot at! That would suit her 对她怎么好了, 最愿意看到, wouldn't it, me being smashed to pieces? 5. No complaints about the surroundings, but it's unsettling 不安的 not to be allowed back into your own home. Following an attempt on your life, ma'am, all protection measures have been ramped up 保护措施加强. And do you think I'm still in danger? It'll turn out to be a nut-job 疯子 acting alone. I hope the family's 你的家人 coping with the move 在适应搬家这件事. It must be very disruptive 打乱一切的. They're all a bit anxious. I can't deny it 无法否认, ma'am. 6. Want a heads-up? Nope. PM's pissed off. Thinks you're hogging the limelight. Naturally, I've disabused him of the idea ( disabuse 打消 [ˌdɪsəˈbjuz] to make someone realize that they were wrong to believe something. If you disabuse someone of something, you tell them or persuade them that what they believe is in fact untrue. [formal] They thought country people liked to please strangers. I did not disabuse them of this notion. ) that you're rogue 大胆放肆 enough to attempt a leadership challenge. 7. KIM: Change of plan, Lavender on the move. Have you home in no time, ma'am. Great. I've just remembered 刚想起来 I've got nothing in 家里没吃的. Do you mind if we stop on the way home, David? Certainly. This is very generous of you, ma'am. I'm just pleased you didn't veto the idea for security reasons. You're pleased my night out was an unmitigated ( used for emphasizing how bad or how unpleasant something is. Last night's performance was an unmitigated disaster. ) disaster? No. It's just, there's risk with being seen out in public. Well, it's easy to say when you're a smug married 开心的结婚族(A few years ago, a friend told me she was worried that she'd never find a partner. She had been single for a long time and didn't see much chance that this would change. "You'll find someone," I said. 'I just know it.' She shot me a deadly look. "Do you know how many people have told me that?" I apologized immediately, embarrassed by the asinine ( [ˈæsɪˌnaɪn] extremely stupid or unreasonable comment.) I had been single throughout my 20s and 30s, and always hated know-it-all proclamations from coupled friends. Now here I was, uttering the same words that pissed me off so many years ago. It was easy, I realized, to become the smug-married enemy. Like my friends before me, I had good intentions 是出于好意. When I said I "just knew," I meant that my friend was attractive and smart and sane, so I could see no earthly reason why she wouldn't find a partner. Thank God I'm married - 'smug singles 单身贵族' are everywhere. You need a husband to escape the self-satisfied behaviour of happy-go-lucky singletons, says Angela Epstein). Sorry, have I put my foot in it 我说错话了吗? I'm separated. Oh. I hope I didn't cause offence. I must have misunderstood. The phone call with my wife? Mm. I've made the mistake of judging by my own standards 以己度人, 用自己的标准看别人. By the end of my marriage, we were incapable of speaking to each other with anything other than utter contempt 蔑视. Don't worry, we have our moments. I just try to put the kids first. And how are they faring? We had some good news about my son's schooling 上学( schooling 学校教育 the education that you get at school. My grandmother had very little schooling. Meghan Markle's speech: "I am also fully aware of the challenges of being able to afford this level of schooling for many people around the world – myself included," she told the audience. "It was through scholarships, financial aid programmes and work-study ( 半工半读. 勤工俭学. a system by which students work at a job to gain experience while they are still in high school or college.), where my earnings from a job on campus went directly towards my tuition, that I was able to attend university. And, without question, it was worth every effort." Samantha declared her famous sibling's speech was "a lie" and took it upon herself to fact-check the contents. "It takes a lot of audacity, and deceit to lie about something as important as funding of a college education," she said. "To take that dignity and joy away from dad is morally unconscionable. He funded her education from day one through northwestern graduation. Fact." ). Mm. I'm glad. If you were involved, ma'am, my family's very grateful. I went into politics to help people. Well you don't want to keep the backup vehicle waiting and I've got work to do, so Yes, of course, I'll just clean this up, ma'am. Unless you fancy a cuppa. I should make it. 8. People in high places 高层人士, 身居高位的人 are people who have powerful and influential positions in a government, society, or organization. He had friends in high places. The discontent has been fuelled by allegations of corruption in high places. Your line manager doesn't appreciate your attitude to administrative duties. They are not my strong suit. Just as well you're being restored to active duty at the Home Office, then. Thank you, ma'am. Not me. Seems like you've made friends in high places. That's it. Piss off. 9. They've said he can start after half-term. Isn't that brilliant? Someone's pulled strings. Oh, how would they know about Charlie? I'm not sure. It doesn't matter. It's brilliant. sanctimonious [ˌsaŋ(k)tɪˈməʊnɪəs] adjective derogatory making a show of being morally superior to other people. "what happened to all the sanctimonious talk about putting his family first?" Sanctimonious 虚伪的 bitch. She's doing exactly what they all do, exploit the situation to get more power for themselves. She said shit like that during the war. Just a snivelling ( snivel 哭哭啼啼的, 装可怜的, 可怜楚楚的 to cry or to complain, especially in a way that seems weak or annoying.) little MP back then, trying to join in the big boys' game. Sign a piece of paper, 100 blokes get killed. But who suffers? Her kind couldn't give a shit. I can't believe you protect them. Did. What's that, mate? I'm a "security risk". They've put Vic and the kids in a safe house. Shit. See, I can live with being in the line of fire, I've made a career out of it, but my family they were always home, safe. That's the way it works. Even in civvy street 平常生活, 老百姓的生活 (ordinary life that is not connected with the armed forces. People in the armed forces use civvy street to refer to life and work which is not connected with the armed forces [British, informal] If they were in civvy street they would be compensated anyway. How does it feel to be back in civvy street?), it's the same thing. They're in it for themselves, they couldn't give a shit about a bloke like you that takes the risks. You're the mug ( I. American informal a criminal who is violent and often not very clever. II. informal 被骗帮人数钱的傻子. 傻子, 傻瓜. 傻帽. someone who does not realize that they are being tricked or treated badly. Only a mug would pay those prices.) that suffers the consequences. review: What is this magical TV show, one that will convince a seen-it-all 见多识广的, 什么都看过的 audience to go back to live TV, waiting, week after week to find out what happens next? It's a bold declaration from the filmmakers — notably creator and writer Jed Mercurio — that Bodyguard isn't here to be a breezy 轻松的, 放松的 watch you can put on while playing a game on your smartphone or prepping veg for dinner. This is a show that commands all your attention and that edge-of-your-seat tension doesn't really let up 紧绷着 throughout the series' run, though it does adeptly balance the intensity with calmer moments so you can remember to exhale. It's only in the season's closing moments, when all the red herrings are revealed as such, does all the complexity start to strain the realms of possibility(beyond/within the realm[s] of possibility [relm] If you say that something is not beyond the realms of possibility, you mean that it is possible. A fall of 50 per cent or more on prices is not beyond the realms of possibility. This is a target which is surely within the realm of possibility. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that some schools may have to cut sport altogether. "Do you think he could step down?" "I think it's within the realms of possibility, yes." ), but you've had such a fun time with it, it's forgivable. Scottish actor Madden is best known to Australian audiences as the tragic Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, a role that generally saw him switch between broody (I. British wanting to have a baby. Seeing tiny babies always makes me feel broody. a. wanting to lay eggs or sit on them. a broody hen. II. thinking and worrying about something a lot. Tim plays the role of a broody teenager.) and slightly broodier. But here, he's really bringing that A-game.
Bodyguard: 1. So he didn't say anything that might reveal a motive? In firing on the Home Secretary's vehicle, I mean. I'm afraid not, sir. Well, unfortunately, we haven't been able to ID the gunman or trace the firearm either. It takes some doing 费劲, 费些力气呢(to be hard work. Be difficult to achieve. It would take some doing to calm him down. We had to be on the parade ground for 5.30 a.m. and that took some doing.), getting a weapon like that and leaving no trace. Look, if there's anything you can tell us about him, it would be a big help, anything at all. Sorry. We've got these images from the CCTV cameras on the roof. Yeah, they appear to show a significant verbal exchange 唇枪舌剑, 交谈很久 between you and the gunman. But unfortunately your mouths aren't visible for lip reading. 2. Is anything the matter 有什么问题吗? No. The family still not back at home? The safe house has been extended. There's no other option, really, with everyone in the dark about 不知道, 不了解, 不清楚 whether they're still a target. Well, you can always come to me. That would be asking you to circumvent security protocol. "Protocol. It's your family. None of the code words retrospectively associated with your family have been detected in communications with other cells on the watch list". That's good to know. 3. Before I go, Home Secretary, perhaps I could have a word in private? Have you had an opportunity to view the material? Thank you. I feel it's my duty as a public servant to take action. There's advantage in moving quickly. I'm in a position 有能力, 有办法 to notify(be in a position to do something to be able to do something because you have the ability, money, or power to do it When I know all the facts, I'll be in a position to advise you. be in no position to do something 没办法, 办不到, 做不到 to be unable to do something because you do not have the ability, money, or power to do it You're unemployed and in no position to support a family.

The exhibition is timely, since 'self-taught' art is catching on in a big way. Our own Brian Tallerico praised the shows' season two finale as timely and prescient, saying in his recap, "the brilliance of this episode is that it's not a mere castigation of the Instagram Generation, but a call to people to support every iteration of those you love, even the kinky online ones." prescient [ˈpreʃənt] 预言性质的, 未卜先知的 knowing or behaving as if you know what will happen in the future.

He's got into position 埋伏好, 就位 under cover of darkness 在夜幕的掩护下, lay in wait for the Home Secretary's vehicle. If this is him, he knew her movements in advance. Christ. Right, we need a list of everyone who knew the Home Secretary's itinerary that day, how long in advance it was set 多久之前就确定了. In 来公司 on your day off, Skipper? Admin piles up 堆积如山.

You lot had better knock it off.Plus it will be useful to have another physical body giving us a hand. Oh – and I'm bored of being the only female around to keep you lot in line. The guns are less for protection from wildlife than they are to keep you lot in line if you get out of hand on the tunda. "Indeed. The G3C04 was designed to trigger on remote command, or if the augmented equipped with it goes against the programmed parameters. The pain it inflicts is rather excruciating, but nothing permanently crippling. It should be enough to keep you lot in line." The ginger snarled at that. "In line?" Ironwood grimaced. "Yes. Against," the officers glanced at the blonde, who gave him a very annoyed look,"my own suggestion, you four have been drafted into the Inter-Kingdom Taskforce to help in the fight against Ziz, and other threats to the civilized world.'.). It appears the two bombs were made by the same person, or persons, proving there's a wider conspiracy 更大的阴谋, 更大范围的图谋. We still don't know if the gunman was part of it, too. 5. I'm sorry about last night, I was snowed under. I've got a couple of hours of work to do and then I'll give you a knock. Like I'm room service? 6. You've won the House. Whether you've won the country's a different question. Ask voters whether they back your position, in terrorism, you poll highly 反响很好. Ask them whether they're happy with GCHQ knowing all their online activity, the numbers plummet. But like I said, looks like you've got the House convinced. I want the country. In PR terms, I'm struggling to cut through the noise( The idiom cut through the noise (抓眼球, 人群中引起注意) means that you are able to communicate in a way that grabs people's attention. It is often used in business to refer to ways of marketing that will help a company stand out from its competition. While the pollsters have been confused about the Trump candidacy, those of us who have followed him on Twitter for a long time haven't been. He knows how to cut through the noise, and companies that do that can thrive, too. ), and then there's your lack of public appearances. If you fulfil your engagement at St Matthew's, you'd get the exposure you need. I'm sure the police would take a different view 会有不同的看法. That's security, not politics. I picked up 感觉 you didn't oppose 反对 my engagement(pick up to notice a smell or sound, or to notice that someone or something is present. The dogs must have picked up his scent.) at St Matthew's. The final decision comes from well above my pay grade. I think you've got an ulterior motive. You don't want people suspecting you've become more protective. Emotionally distracted. Busted 被发现了, 被你看出来了, 被你戳破了, 被你戳穿了. 7. I had the info. What's your problem? No problem. What the hell am I doing here if you won't let me do my fucking job? Your job is to be visible beside the Home Secretary. The demographic most vulnerable to our counter-terrorism policy is? Boys! It doesn't take a genius to join the dots 联系起来, 看穿. 8. I can't make the speech. You're handling it. What? Not up to it? Fuck you, Rob. Here's all the background material. Anything I need to flag up before the speech ( flag up: 标注, 特别注意. 做标记. to mention something so that people know about it. If you flag up something such as a problem, you bring it to someone's attention. Staff can use the noticeboard to flag up any concerns. I think there are more important issues and I just wanted to flag that up. )? No, no. It all checked out. She's good to go. Ma'am, traffic's snarled up this side of the river - so we'll be going via the bridges. Your call 你说了算. 9. The Draft Communications Data Bill (nicknamed the Snoopers' Charter or Snooper's Charter) was draft legislation proposed by then Home Secretary Theresa May in the United Kingdom which would require Internet service providers and mobile phone companies to maintain records of each user's internet browsing activity (including social media), email correspondence, voice calls, internet gaming, and mobile phone messaging services and store the records for 12 months. Retention of email and telephone contact data for this time is already required by the Data Retention Regulations 2014. The anticipated cost was £1.8 billion. 10. She admits to choosing Budd to be Montague's PPO because his background made him a perfect fall guy 替罪羊(someone who is blamed or punished for something bad that someone else has done.). In Russian culture, kompromat 不利信息, 不利材料, short for "compromising material" (Russian: компрометирующий материал, translit. komprometiruyushchy material), is damaging information about a politician, a businessman, or other public figure, used to create negative publicity, as well as for blackmail and extortion. Kompromat may be acquired from various security services, or outright forged, and then publicized by use of a public relations official. Widespread use of kompromat has been one of the characteristic features of the politics of Russia and other post-Soviet states. MI5 is monitoring the scene; suspecting that he is being watched, Budd gives false information about the location of the kompromat, and MI5 sends Longcross to retrieve it. However, Budd has booby-trapped the flat (I. a hidden bomb designed to kill or injure someone who does not realize it is there. It explodes when someone touches something connected to it. II. old-fashioned a trick or joke in which someone arranges for something to fall on you or frighten you. ) with tear gas, which temporarily blinds Longcross, who is then arrested. 11. I just need a moment with my aide. Yes, of course. Have you been through the fact checks? Sorry, I thought that had all been. You have no idea how important today is. I need the final fact checks in front of me before I go on. I don't want to find out I've made a tit 笑话 of myself 弄得自己跟傻瓜似的 only after the evening news rips my speech to pieces. Rob said it all checked out. That's not what he said to me. See to it, Tahir. We've set up a green room ( green room 休息室 a room in a theatre or studio in which performers can relax when they are not performing. ) for you. Thank you. 12. Sorry this is crap timing, mate, but I was trying to form a picture of the events surrounding the explosion. Witnesses have already told us one of your Principal's aides, Tahir Mahmood, appeared at the side of the stage, and that he was carrying a briefcase? I didn't have eyes on that myself, sir. Well, what about afterwards? Anything from Mahmood? No, sir, he died instantly. What do you recall about the final moments before the explosion? Kim PC Knowles She approached the stage. That's when the device went off. I was looking towards PS Budd, to get a a steer on(give someone a steer to give someone advice or information that helps them to do something.) what was going on. What about Budd? I'm a bit in the dark on that, sir. He left the auditorium and when he came back in, that's when Mahmood appeared on the stage. 13. Why is he of interest? Just a couple of hours before the bombing. We understand MacDonald's at the Home Office now. Louise Rayburn's on standby to bring him in. Ma'am? I've only just got the Home Office back on side 争取过来 ( on (one's) side Supportive or in aid of one or one's idea, plan, intention, etc. We're all on your side, Jerry. We just want to see this issue resolved as quickly and easily as possible. If she's going to win this case, she'll need one heck of a legal team on her side.

Leave this with me, if that's OK, Deepak. 14. In her political career, Julia Montague was a divisive [preferred: dɪˈvaɪsɪv; US also: dɪ'vɪsɪv ] 两端分级的, 两极分化的, 有争议的 figure(Something that is divisive causes unfriendliness and argument between people. Abortion has always been a divisive issue. A referendum would be divisive.). In the weeks before her assassination, she was best known for spearheading the controversial RIPA-18 Bill through the House of Commons. Her stance on national security issues made her a target of protests by civil liberties groups. Ms Montague was the target of an earlier assassination attempt. 14. TV: Amid the profound 深深的 sense of shock here tonight, two big straightforward questions are being asked. First, was Julia Montague the intended target of his attack? And second, was she just moments away from launching a bid to take over No 10? On that first question, the answer is, we simply do not know. On the second, well, for many months there have been deepening divisions between (division sign 除号. division of labor 工作分工 the way that the work that needs to be done is divided so that different people are responsible for different parts of it.) her and the Prime Minister, the two at odds over their approach to security, with the Home Secretary pushing a more hard-line stance. 15. There's more to this, Louise. Take Tahir Mahmood's position at the Home Office. If he's really the bomber, he wasn't vetted properly. Who's in charge of vetting? The bosses are the ones in a slanging match 对骂, 互相指责( A slanging match is an angry quarrel in which people insult each other. a prolonged exchange of insults. an argument in which both people use angry uncontrolled language and insult each other: The politicians started a slanging match in the middle of the debate. "the marriage descended into a public slanging match") with the Security Service. Way above my pay grade. Tahir couldn't have been acting alone. He wasn't carrying the bomb when I searched that briefcase. Someone else we don't know about either gave it to him or planted it for him to pick up. 16. All the searches so far relating to Rob Macdonald have failed to detect any traces of explosives. And it's still unclear if the device was in the briefcase all along 一直 or if Mahmood made the pick-up within the venue. Plus, there's still no CCTV of any of his backstage activity. All right. What's the latest re David Budd? So far, the CCTV does appear to support Budd's version of events. He's still a person of interest, ma'am. 17. Something the matter, Tom? We lost Kim! Nobody's heard a word off you about it. I'm sorry, mate, you're right. I've been in my own head ( in one's head I. (idiomatic, of information, a plan, etc.) Within one's intellect, memory, or mind.

Get off my back, Louise. What am I supposed to do, David? Let you run around like everything's rosy? Do you not get it? This is how they'll discredit the inquiry. They'll make me out to be a basket case ( I. If someone describes a country or organization as a basket case, they mean that its economy or finances are in a seriously bad state. [informal] The country is an economic basket case with chronic unemployment and rampant crime. II. If you describe someone as a basket case, you think that they are insane. [informal, disapproval] You're going to think I'm a basket case when I tell you this. ). No-one in this building would use that kind of language. You've got an illness, David. You're traumatised. 19. Look, I'm not permitted to reveal details of the wider inquiries. This didn't come from me, OK? The bomb wasn't in the briefcase. It wasn't your fault. 20. What's going to happen now, Ma'am? We'll see to it. People keep saying that. Meanwhile, the Home Secretary's killers are no nearer being caught. Sorry to keep you, Sergeant. 21. Was there anything unusual he was concerned about? He seemed very concerned about the Home Secretary's personal items 个人物品, but I suppose that's not unusual. What items? Her ministerial folder. Her briefcase. Her handbag. He took these? No, they were never found, which is why Mr Penhaligon got very anxious. But that's because they're of sentimental value. 22. David Budd ambushed me at my constituency surgery. David Budd? I'm convinced he's aware of the kompromat. How? How the hell should I know? All we've got is what the PM's told us. Not the whole story, either, knowing how he rolls 知道他的为人. Julia blackmailed him over its content. Possibly she took Budd into her confidence 引为知己, 收为心腹( If you take someone into your confidence, you tell them a secret. to tell someone something secret or private. To tell someone information with the understanding that he or she will not reveal what was said. Daniel, we've taken you into our confidence to discuss the direction of the company, and where we see you fitting into it. You're the only person I've taken into my confidence about this, so please don't discuss it with anyone else. She decided to take her best friend into her confidence. He was one of the few that she took into her confidence about how the story would develop.), or he joined the dots 理清了头绪, 联系了起来. 23. I need to provide some background. Till recently, I, Mike Travis, senior civil servants Julia Montague involved us all in Home Office business. Standard practice. Then there began to be these frequent unofficial meetings with the Director General of the Security Service and to an increasing degree we were all shut out. It's still unclear to me the nature of their meetings 会议的性质. OK. Then we came to suspect that Julia was preparing a leadership bid. Who's "we"? Mike Travis. 24. This is coming from the Security Service? Longcross must've bugged her room. Is this recording even legal? David, is it true? Ma'am, you know you have to caution me if there's any possibility my answer might incriminate me. I'm entitled to a consultation with my Police Federation Representative. Don't quote the Regs at me, David. You weren't just fucking the Home Secretary. You're fucking our whole reputation. They're to discredit 搞坏名声, 搞臭 me, Ma'am! I'm onto them. 25. How'd it go at the Home Office? Fortunately while the kompromat's still out there, there isn't a politician in Westminster not shitting himself he's implicated. Makes it easier to push back. Good. Only problem is they know about you. "Longcross. " That'll be David Budd. He's the only one who challenged me. The only one I gave that name to. Some fucking bullet-stopper. How could you let him get one over on you? No. It's the other way round. 26. The group was marginal, never threatened any action. But you're right, it's weird he wasn't. Which brings us back to your Security Service theory. Maybe they didn't put him on a watch list cos they wanted to keep him under the radar. He was recruited by them? A disaffected 不再忠诚的 loner([ˌdɪsəˈfektəd] a disaffected member of a group or organization no longer feels any loyalty toward it. Disaffected people no longer fully support something such as an organization or political ideal which they previously supported. He attracts disaffected voters. Environmental issues provided a rallying point for people disaffected with the government. ) with explosives experience? Talk about perfect candidate. I know how stretched you are here(stretched under pressure and doing as much as is feasible. The system is very stretched 压力很大, 超负荷运转的. The deal will also help the company's stretched finances. Family finances were already very stretched. The staff are fully stretched 放展了劲, 开足了马力 as it is. The Navy is stretched to the limit these days. The economy was already fully stretched. There are times when resources are stretched to the limit.). Let me look into this. We've already had a conversation about how fit you are to work. The moment this case is over, I'll see the counsellor, I'll see the doc, whatever. I just need time. Please, I'm asking you as a colleague, copper to copper ( [British, informal] A copper is a police officer. ...your friendly neighbourhood copper 片警. come a cropper If you say that someone has come a cropper, you mean that they have had an unexpected and embarrassing failure. [informal] ...internet businesses that came a cropper.). 27. I'll take my business elsewhere(to go to another place to do business. make it one's business to do sth 主动, 自发的去做某事 If you make it your business to do something, you decide to do it, because you are interested in it or because you want to find out something. She made it her business to find out. ). Maybe I can make a couple of calls. 28. I'm sorry, uh Is this a regular haunt of yours ( haunt a place often visited: This bar used to be one of your old haunts, didn't it, Jake? A place that is the haunt of a particular person is one which they often visit because they enjoy going there. The Channel Islands are a favourite summer haunt for U.K. and French yachtsmen alike. )? Always the policeman, never off duty. Yes, I've been here before. No, I'm not stalking you. 29. Why was David's clip replaced with blanks? The reason given at the end was something to do with the bad guys wanting him to be used as a patsy. Right. So they knew he would try to kill himself and thought it best to keep him alive by replacing his bullets with blanks so he didn't? 30. The hair was blonde, pushed back off the forehead 向后梳. A bit more like that? Yeah. The eyes were darker. Yeah. that's perfect. What about the nose? The nose was wider at the tip 鼻尖大点. What about his jaw? His jaw was a bit squarer 下巴更有棱角. A bit more. Hair? Is that right? His hair was shorter. Yeah. Eyes were maybe a little narrower 眼睛小点. His forehead a little taller 额头高点. Age OK? He's a bit older-looking than this.
