特别广播英语第 206 课：The Teacher's Last Shocking Lesson
女教师撼人心魄的最后一课-1

A remarkable woman reasons with her killer - and tapes it. 一位非凡的女人劝说杀害她的凶手--并作了录音。

She used the miniature tape recorder for a graduate-school course she was taking. The device, though, would do much more than capture a lecture. 她使用一个微型录音机来录她正在听的一门研究生院的课。然而这个装置起的作用要比录下一堂的讲座大得多。

It was a microcassette found in Kathleen Weinstein's shirt pocket that not only led police to her alleged killer but also revealed the New Jersey teacher to be a woman of extraordinary courage and compassion. 正是这个在凯瑟琳·温斯坦衬衣口袋里找到录音带使得警方断定杀人凶手，并且显示了这位新译西州教师作为一个女性的非凡勇气和不同寻常的同情心。

Weinstein, 45, was on her way to an exam at Toms River high School South on March 14 when she got out of her gold 1995 Toyota Camry to buy a sandwich at the busy Toms river Shopping Center. 45岁的温斯坦在3月14日去南汤姆斯河中学考试的路上，她走出她那辆1995年丰田公司产的喀麦丽牌小汽车到繁华的汤姆斯河售货中心买三明治。

That's where her path crossed that of Michael LaSane, who, police say, wanted just such a car to celebrate his 17th birthday. 在那里，她遇到了迈克尔·拉森，警察说，拉森正想要一部那样的车庆祝他的17岁生日。

Grabbing Weinstein by the jaw, the attacker told her he had a gun and forced her into the Camry. 攻击者托住她的下巴，并且告诉她他有枪，强迫她进入车里。

The car was then driven to Manitou Park, about two miles from the shopping center. 然后车子开到了曼尼托公园，距离那个售货中心大约两英里。

It was there, police believe, that Weinstein was able to activate the recorder she kept in her bag. 警方认为，正是在那里，温斯坦才能够打开她包里的录音机。

According to Ocean County prosecutor Daniel Carluccio, the taped conversation between Weinstein and LaSane took place as they removed personal items - bags, notebooks, her six-year-old son's belongings, from the car. 据海洋县的检查官丹尼尔·卡鲁齐奥说，所录的温斯坦和拉森的谈话开始于他们扔下车上的个人物品时--包、笔记本，以及她六岁儿子的东西。

"It wasn't hysterical," Carluccio says of the 24-minute tape. "It wasn't the kind of thing you would expect of someone who is facing a life-threatening situation. 卡鲁齐奥谈到24分钟长的录音带时说："它并不歇斯底里，那完全不是你所料到的一个面对生命威胁的情景的样子，

Mrs. Weinstein bravely and persistently used every skill and power she had to convince her attacker to simply take her car and not her life."温斯坦太太运用各种她所具有的技巧、勇敢，顽强地劝说袭击者只取走她的车而不伤她的性命。"
