^他们通常能够做到的，至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼，或在电影院里坐上8个小时，一遍遍地看同一部电影。 [00:35.600]They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles.

^男孩截住的下一辆车，没有像他希望的那样把他带到巴黎市中心，而是把他带到了法国和西班牙边界上的佩皮尼昂。 [01:31.560]There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities.
