精講筆記：

10、The thieves，car was badly damaged and easy to recognize.

小偷的車損壞嚴重，俱容易辨認。

語言點 badly —詞基本意思是“壞地”,引申為“嚴重地，厲害地”。例：

China national football team was badly beaten in the race and came back.

中國國家足球隊慘敗而歸。

11、Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

沒過多久，警察就截住了那輛車，兩個小偷都被抓住了。

語言點 本句中“停車”和“抓賊”是兩個連貫動作，所以用and連接為并列句。
