Christina: What is the holdup? There are cars backed up for half a mile.
克里斯蒂娜：堵车了是怎么回事？后边堵着的车都有半英里了。
Harry: I bet the border patrol is looking for smugglers.
哈里：我猜，应该是边境巡逻在查走私。
Christina: Do you really think so? I wonder if there could be a drug mule in one of these cars carrying illegal drugs.
克里斯蒂娜：你真的这么认为吗？我想这些堵着的车辆里会不会有一名携带毒品的毒贩。
Harry: It might be drugs, but it could be any kind of contraband. I’ve heard that there’s a problem with gunrunning and other kinds of arms trafficking across these borders.
哈里：有可能是毒品，不过也有可能是任何一种违禁品。我听说有人走私军火，也有人跨境走私武器。
Christina: Maybe they’re looking for people trying to sneak into this country without permission.
克里斯蒂娜：也许他们在盘查没有入境许可想试图偷偷入境的移民。
Harry: Or they could be looking for people trying to import exotic species without permission.
哈里：或者他们在搜查未经允许试图进口外来物种的人。
Christina: What kinds of exotic species?
克里斯蒂娜：什么样的外来物种？
Harry: Plants and animals that aren’t allowed to be brought into this country, at least not without quarantine.
哈里：禁止携带入境的植物和动物，至少包括那些未经检疫的动植物。
Christina: Plants? You mean like these herb plants I bought?
克里斯蒂娜：植物？你是说我买的这些草本植物？
Harry: I doubt if they’re prohibited. Wait, you can’t leave the car!
哈里：我怀疑它们是否在禁止名单之列。等等，你不能下车！
Christina: What if this is contraband and they catch me with it?
克里斯蒂娜：如果这是禁运品，他们因此逮捕我怎么办?
Harry: They’ll confiscate it and send us on our way.
哈里：他们只会没收物品，然后会放人离开的。
Christina: Are you sure?
克里斯蒂娜：你确定吗？
Harry: Sure, I’m sure. They’d be much more interested in the bats I’m smuggling in my pants anyway.
哈里：确定以及肯定，他们一定对我裤子里走私的蝙蝠更感兴趣。
Christina: What?!
克里斯蒂娜：什么？！
