When my husband, Jack, was a police officer, he once approached a home guarded by two ferocious dogs. They lunged at the screen door with such force that it opened, and they tore out into the yard.　Thinking quickly, Jack, stepped into the house, closing the door tightly behind him. " It's all right, ma'am," he reassured the homeowner " I'm a police officer."

　"Not a very brave one," 'she observed.

　　在我丈夫杰克还是警察的时候，一次他走近有两只恶狗看守的庭院。那两只狗奋力地扑抓纱门，把门弄开了并冲到院子里。

　杰克反应迅速，三步并两步地跨入房子里，牢牢地关上身后的门。“没事了，女士，”他安慰家主道，“我是警察。”

　“可不是很勇敢的一个。”她淡淡地说。
