托福阅读材料之美国劫匪抢劫中餐馆因语言不通失败而归

Three gunmen attempted to rob a Chinese restaurant in Orlando, Florida Monday night, but their plans were foiled when none of the restaurant workers responded to their demands because they didn't speak English.

周一晚，三名持枪歹徒试图抢劫美国弗罗里达州奥兰多的一家中餐馆，但他们的计划失败了，因为餐厅里没有任何一位工作人员对他们要求作出回应，原因是他们都不会说英语。

The masked men entered New China after 9 p.m. and ordered the three employees working there to empty the cash register, according to ClickOrlando.com.

根据ClickOrlando.com网站报道，晚上9点后，蒙面男子进入了New China 餐馆，并且命令三名在这儿工作的人清空收银机。

None of the workers complied with the robbers' demands, however, because they only spoke Cantonese.

但是没有一个工作人员回应了劫匪的要求，因为他们只会说广东话。

Frustrated, one of the assailants started banging on the cash register with his gun to try and make them understand what he was asking.

失望之余，其中一名行凶者开始用枪敲打收音机，试图让他们明白他要什么。

The gun went off -- police believe accidentally -- and the assailants fled the store toward a nearby neighborhood, where police dogs led authorities to their getaway car.

一把枪走火了（警方相信这是意外情况）抢劫者逃离商店，跑入了附近的居民区，随后在警犬的引导下警方找到了他们逃跑的车。

The three men were detained late Monday and investigators are trying to determine whether any of them were involved in another recent robbery at a Chinese restaurant in Orlando in which a woman was shot and killed.

这三名男子周一晚些时候被拘留，调查人员正在确定他们中是否有人参与近期奥兰多另一次中餐馆抢劫，在那次案件中一名女子被人开枪打死。

In that case, a single gunman stormed into a China Wok and shot 53-year-old Ying Sun, who was working there, when she didn't respond to his demands because she didn't speak English.

那次案件里，只身一人的持枪劫匪冲进了名为China Wok的中餐馆，向在那儿工作的53岁的孙英（音译）因为不会说英语，因而没有回应劫匪的要求，劫匪后来开枪打中了孙英。
