2017公共英语考试PETS2对话练习（三）

Milt: He told me he’ll cut my arms and legs off, one by one. He knows my address, too. I don’t want to put you in danger, but...can I stay with you tonight?

Seth: Ummm...[looks at Ash for approval] of course you can. But why don’t you call the cops first?

Milt: As if the cops can do anything. All I have is the bank number he told me, and I’m sure it’s not registered in his real name.

Seth: Have you tried calling your brother?

(续上期，下期续)

米特：他告诉我要把我的手和脚一根一根砍下来。他也知道我的地址。我不想让你置身危险，但……我今晚可以待在你这里吗?

赛司：嗯……(看看爱许征求同意)你当然可以。但你为什么不先报警呢?

米特：警察又不是万能的。我有的只是他说的银行账号，而且我确定那不是用他的真名申请的。

赛司：你有没有试着打电话给你弟弟?
