凯西: Is there a lot of crime in your city?
你们国家犯罪现象多吗?
杰克: There`s some, but I don`t think it`s a big problem. A lot of it is petty crime, burglary and car theft. There`s very little major crime.
有是有一些，但是我不认为是什么大问题。许多都是盗窃偷车什么的。比较大的案件不是很多。
凯西: It`s the same in my city. We also have a lot of drug addicts. A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs.
我所在的城市也是这样。我们还有一些贩毒现象。许多犯罪都是由于吸毒的人需要钱买毒品所导致的。
杰克: That happens in many places. In my city, there is a very good drug rehabilitation program. The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes, but I don`t know if that`s the reason for our relatively low crime rate.
这在许多地方都很普遍。在我们市，有一个很好的反毒计划。所以其他犯罪率也就不高了。
