本篇还是用百度翻译，为了节省时间。因为最近我在精读《英语高级口译证书实考试卷汇编（2015-2019）》，但是，遇到了困难。

我们发现，在工作过程中，阅读文章的感觉变差了，文章多数读起来没感觉，或者一些句字读起来没什么感觉。

为什么？因为附近都是工科生吗？这个借口太假了吧！

因此，为了证实自己确实有相应的实力，以及对于翻译这件事情，要求精准，还是缁铢完成任务。

2023年10月7日，上午1：33，未知为何，确实工作速度减低了。

01 译文

2020年1月的一天早上，Robert Potts 正在装载他的SUV前往北卡罗来纳州罗利市（Raleigh）的警察学院。

他开始预热汽车，一心想着考试，然后回到公寓去吃午饭。当他回来时，越野车不见了，还有一把橡胶训练手枪、一副手铐和一台便携式收音机。

注意：
load up his SUV 开启SUV
handcuffs 手铐
When he returned the SUV was gone, ... 他回来时，车不见了。 正确的语序，the SUV was gonw when he returned. 倒装时候会显得少了连接词。但事实上，只是换了个顺序。

Raleigh 警方在午餐时间发现了这辆SUV。Potts 悲痛欲绝。丢失装备对警察来说是一种非常糟糕的行为，尤其是对新手来说，而小偷带走了一些波茨的东西，包括最敏感的东西——收音机。有人可能利用这一点以虚假报告扰乱警察局的沟通。

波茨的上司向他保证他们会处理好的。

注意：
Raleigh | North Carolina
distraught 悲痛欲绝

Potts 把注意力重新放在了考试上，完全没有意识到他清晨的失误引发的事件。他说，Raleigh 警察局能够远程禁用他的无线电，确保他们的通信不受干扰。

但是警察还没有准备好放弃这件事。在他们决心追回无线电的过程中，他们利用了当地执法部门可用的两种尖端调查工具，这两种工具都是谷歌提供的。

注意：
return his focus to exams,... 重新将注意力放到考试上
blunder 愚蠢的错误
set in motion 发生的
drop the matter 放弃这件事
cutting-edge 最尖端的
available to local law enforcement 可供执法部门使用的

02 原文

One morning in January 2020, Robert Potts was loading up his SUV for a trip to the police academy in Raleigh, North Carolina.

He started warming up the car, his mind on exams, and went back into his apartment to grab his lunch. When he returned the SUV was gone , along with a rubber training pistol, a set of handcuffs and a portable radio.

Raleigh cops found the SUV by lunchtime. Potts was distraught. Losing your gear is very bad form for a cop, especially a rookie, and the thief had walked off with some of Potts’, including the most sensitive item—the radio. Someone could use that to disrupt the police department’s communications with false reports.

Potts’ supervisors reassured him they’d take care of it.

Potts returned his focus to exams, completely unaware of the events his early-morning blunder had set in motion. He says the Raleigh PD was able to remotely disable his radio, ensuring that their communications remained uncompromised.

But the cops weren’t ready to drop the matter. In their determination to recover the radio, they capitalized on two cutting-edge investigative tools available to local law enforcement—both made possible by Google.
