Suspect

We were listening to a lecture on psychic phenomena in our Comparative Religions course. Our instructor told us about a woman who contacted police working on a missing persons case. "She gave them eerily detailed instructions on where to find the body," the instructor said. "In fact, the detectives did find the body just as she had described. Now, what would you call this type of person?"

While the rest of us pondered the question, a sheriff's officer taking the class raised his hand and replied, "A suspect."

 

嫌疑犯

 

      那次，我们正在听《比较宗教学》课程的一个关于精神现象的讲座。讲师给我们说了一个案例。这个案例是说警方正调查一宗失踪案，“一名女士向警官提供了尸体位置的详细描述。”讲师说，“事实上，警官们按她的描述找到了尸体。现在，我想问你们，你将此这类（报案）的人称为什么？”正当我们都在思考这个问题的时候，一名参加课程学习的郡警官举起手回答，“一名嫌疑人”。
