【課文講解】
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly① were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop, ② was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop. ③
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with④ its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to⑤ a stop outside the jeweler's⑥. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to⑦ diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed⑧. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds⑨.

【參考譯文】
皮卡迪利大街附近的一條著名拱廊街道上，幾家高檔商店剛剛開始營業。在早晨的這個時候，拱廊街上幾乎空無一人。珠寶店主泰勒先生正在欣賞新佈置的櫥窗。他手下兩名店員從早上8點就開始忙碌，這時剛剛佈置完畢。鑽石項鍊、戒指漂亮地陳列在黑色絲絨上面。泰勒先生站在櫥窗外凝神欣賞了幾分鐘就回到了店裏。
寧靜突然被打破，一輛大轎車亮着前燈，響着喇叭，呼嘯着衝進了拱廊街，在珠寶店門口停了下來。一人留在駕駛座上，另外兩個用黑色長筒絲襪蒙面的人跳下車來。他們用鐵棒把商店櫥窗的玻璃砸碎。這開始發生時，泰勒先生正在樓上。他與店員動手向窗外投擲傢俱，椅子，桌子飛落花流水在拱廊街上。一個竊賊被一尊很重的雕像擊中，但由於他忙着搶鑽石首飾，竟連疼痛都顧不上了。這場搶劫只持續了3分鐘，因爲竊賊爭先恐後地爬上轎車，以驚人的速度開跑了。就在轎車離開的時候，泰勒先生從店裏衝了出來，跟在車後追趕，一邊還往車上扔菸灰缸、花瓶。但他已無法抓住那些竊賊了。他們已帶着價值數千鎊的首飾逃之夭夭了。
