1 . Mrs.Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men.安。斯特林夫人在穿過森林追趕兩個男人時，她並沒有考慮到所冒的風險。

3 . They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag.剛才，當她和孩子們正在森林邊上野餐的時候，這兩個人衝到她跟前，企圖搶走她的手提包。
4 . The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.這兩個人嚇了一跳，扔下提包逃跑了。
5 . 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs.Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'「這提包帶需要修理，」斯特林夫人事後說道，「不過他們什麼也沒偷走。」
6 . She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run.只追了一會兒便上氣不接下氣了，但她還是繼續追趕。
7 . so she ran straight at them.於是她直衝過去。
8 . When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag,當她趕上他們時，發現他們已經坐了下來，正翻著包裡的東西。
9 . In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees.在爭搶中，手提包的帶斷了，包落入這兩個人手裡，他們拔腿跑進了樹林。
