[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

The flight was fine, except for one girl who started crying when I was about to land.It seemed to be a girl who was traveling with her grandfather, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the old man beside her, who seemed to be no more than sixty, seemed a little at a loss for this, and could only smile apologetically at the passengers around her.

Soon a flight attendant came forward to ask, and it turned out that it happened because he couldn't get a cup of hot chocolate as he wished.

The old man looked helpless, "You really can't drink, your teeth can't bear it."

It is self-evident which one is more pleasing, the unreasonable girl or the slow-talking gentleman.Not to mention that child was in the rebellious age, many people on the plane couldn't help but think of some brat who made them unhappy, and became more considerate of the old man.

Isaac is certainly no exception, most of the time he is very considerate of others, but now?He was nervous, and he really didn't have the extra mood to be considerate.

However, this situation was greatly alleviated after the plane landed. When he accidentally caught the voice that upset him, he unconsciously looked over it.You've only glanced casually, leaving a shallow impression that is quickly forgotten if you don't follow through.

They met again at the baggage claim area.

Rossi had already left first, and Isaac went there alone. He didn't have any luggage, but he was stuffed with many small gifts, which together took up a lot of space.The grandparents were behind him, and Isaac saw the ring on the girl's finger as they passed by.

Wear it on your ring finger.

Probably the little girl took it with her for fun, right?This thought passed through his mind, leaving a trace after all.

--------------------------------

Reid plans to write a new paper recently, and this time the topic requires a lot of data filling. Even if he is Reid, he is busy from morning to night for this.

"Why did you think of writing this?" Isaac patiently flipped through a few pages, all of which were the whereabouts of some felons after parole.To be fair, there are indeed some people who want to change their minds and start a new life, but there are not a few who refuse to change after repeated admonitions.Every time I see these, Isaac wants to set aside those who don't have a long memory and lock them up separately.

"Find problems, ask questions, and solve problems." Reid pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Some things can't be solved by turning a blind eye. You have to admit that if the social environment is better, there will be less discrimination and more tolerance. , and many of them may have a very different life than before."

"Of course, but you also have to admit that some people are just like that," Issac said.Vision can sometimes affect a person's thinking. Most of the suspects in the cases he has handled are unforgivable. Whenever he complained about the looseness of the law, he always left There is leeway.But now, the scope of work he has been exposed to is much larger. Although he still feels that abolishing the death penalty is a terrible idea, his attitude towards some people who have gone astray is much more tolerant, but some views are still deeply rooted. "Not everyone deserves a second chance."

"But sometimes, a good start can lead to good results." Reid is much kinder than Isaac, unlike Isaac who always has reservations and is used to thinking about the worst outcome, he is always willing to believe in others.

"I'm afraid that the beginning is good and the result is bad." Isaac retorted, "because bad results are often irreversible."

"Would you mind if I put you in the paper as an opponent?" Reid poked his cheek with a pen, having a new idea.

"Is there any benefit?" Isaac pretended to think about it for a moment.

"A meal?" Reid also pretended to think about it.

"Just one meal?"

"Well, no more."

Well, even though Isaac insisted repeatedly that his value would never be shown in a meal, he still didn't refuse.When the first draft of that paper was completed, Isaac became the first reader, claiming without humility that the most important part of it was the part where his and Reid's arguments collided.

"We can be regarded as a gangster." Reid began to show Chinese again.

"Why don't you say you're working together?" Isaac's head hurts hearing Reid's strange pronunciation.

"Does this word also mean cooperation?" Reid pulled out the dictionary, "I really don't think I've seen this yet."

"..." Isaac was speechless for a while, "Forget it, if you want to talk about who has a good cooperation with whom in the future, remember not to say these two words."

"Because it's a derogatory term?" Reid looked at the idiom notes, "Then what should I say? How about a compliment that won't make people angry?"

Isaac was quiet for a while, "Maybe it's a perfect match?"

But when it comes to Chinese, Isaac recalls the documents he received not long ago.Some time ago, several high-level officials in the Bureau visited China with the Secretary of State. I don’t know what they exchanged. Today, they issued a document saying that they will conduct technical exchanges. Issac simply didn’t know what to say. The movie "Straight Out of the Amazon" is very impressive. I always feel that if I can't show off in this round, it will be easy to get slapped in the face.

"Technical exchange? Isn't it for advanced studies?" When Reid heard Issac's concern, he was also puzzled. "This is different from what I heard. Or do you want to come with two groups?"

"Where did you hear that?" Isaac didn't think his information was as accurate as Reid's.

"At the academy." Although Reid looked very unconvincing, after all, his experience was there, and he would go to the academy to give lectures when he was free.If you ignore his bad jokes, there is still a lot of dry stuff in his class.

But even though Reid is a responsible teacher, the particularity of his department makes him always miss an appointment or two.At this time, if you don't want to open the skylight, it is necessary to find someone to take the class.

"A new case?" Isaac was used to receiving the phone call. His work has always been very organized. If there is no emergency, he can drink tea and read newspapers in the office leisurely.

"Yeah." Reid ran towards the office while clutching his satchel, "It's a missing child case, we have to leave immediately."

Isaac originally planned to go to the academy in the afternoon, but he originally planned to watch the actual combat exercises of the students, but right now, it may be changed to indoor classes.

"OK, leave it to me." Isaac agreed without hesitation, "What's the theme this time?"

"About how victims can emerge from the shadows and reintegrate into social life."

Isaac is familiar with this little thing, he simply flipped through the handwriting Reid gave him, and after learning the outline, he started to develop himself.Judging from the classroom effect, he should have played well.

After routinely assigning homework, Isaac announced the end of the get out of class, and then several students gathered around and began to ask questions. Isaac had plenty of time, and although some questions had nothing to do with the content of the class, he answered everything he knew.

The students surrounding him gradually dispersed until only one female student remained.

"Sir." The female student looked worried, "Can I take a moment of your time? I'm still not sure about the content of this class."

"Which side?" Everyone in the classroom was almost gone, Isaac picked an empty seat and sat down, then motioned for the female student to sit on the other side.

"I'm Allison Raleign." The female student, that is, Allison Raleign, introduced herself first, and then continued, "I want to know, if a girl was misled during the most critical period of shaping the three views, what about her future? Is there any help?"

This question sounds irrelevant to the topic of this class at first glance, but Isaac doesn't think the students sitting here will deviate from the topic, as long as they think about it a little, they can probably guess the outline of the matter.

"What about the situation?" Isaac asked.

Allison Raleign hesitated for a while, but Isaac didn't push her, just encouraged her with his eyes.

Finally, Allison Raleign let out a long sigh, "It's my sister, she is 16 years old, but she has been married for three years..."

Allison Raleign's sister is called ZoeyRaleign, nine years younger than her. When Zoey had an accident, Allison was struggling with her graduation thesis. When she finished her thesis and invited her family to her graduation ceremony, she found that besides her parents and sister, there was also a man old enough to be her grandfather.Although she was a little puzzled, she was so happy because she graduated and got a job she wanted, that she didn't ask questions immediately.

"When I found out that he was my sister's husband, I was completely stunned. I couldn't imagine that it was already a new century, how could this kind of... this kind of wildness happen only after the old age. Thing! This is America, not India, not Afghanistan, not the Middle East, this is a civilized society, but this thing happened like... like... this thing is ridiculous!" Allison Raleign shook his head, " What's even more absurd is that this is recognized by law, their marriage is recognized and protected by law, but I don't believe in sanctity anymore."

"You live in Virginia?" Isaac went through the legal provisions in his mind, and after getting Allison Raleign's affirmation, he showed a somewhat sluggish expression, "I thought that even if this law had not been abolished, it would still be in accordance with the moral standards of today's people. , and no one will practice it.”

In Virginia, there was a law written a hundred years ago that a girl could enter into marriage when she was 12 years old, with the permission of her parents.

"I wasn't at home at the time, so I didn't really understand what happened, but then my parents explained it to me." Allison Raleign said, "Zoey had sex with that man, and my mother was furious when she found out, and my father I was going to sue the man for rape, but then Zoey became pregnant. The man was very attentive at that time, and he had a lawyer with a good tongue, and finally convinced my parents that marriage is a good thing for everyone. idea."

But that child was not kept in the end, Zoey was too young to conceive a child at all.

"After I found out about this incident, I asked many people how to dissolve their marriage. Zoey is still young, and she doesn't know how much the current choice will affect the future. But at the legal level, what I can get There is very little help, and unless they voluntarily divorce, normal legal procedures cannot separate them at all, because their marriage is protected by law." Allison Raleign was a little depressed, "But even if it can be done, Zoey will not be grateful to me, she is completely bewitched That man has coaxed her away. She doesn't have to go to school, no one bothers her with her grades anymore, she is pampered all the time, takes her to play everywhere, and responds to her requests..."

But Allison Raleign couldn't help thinking about it, especially since Zoey and that man were 50 years apart, sooner or later she would lose her captive.At that time, a Zoey who is in the best time of her life will know nothing and has no life skills, how should she continue to live?

What if Zoey felt that the right way to live was to be raised because of that marriage?

"What I'm more worried about is that the man may abandon her in a short time." Allison Raleign said, "Zoey is not his first marriage partner. Before Zoey, he had two marriages, but in those two When the little wife became an adult, she left the house because she was found cheating."

"Once might be a coincidence, but twice?"

"He's an experienced criminal."

"I tried to express my concerns, but because my previous reaction was a little too aggressive, Zoey felt that this was my new method. Not only did she not believe me, but she also said some very sad things."

"But she's my sister, and I can't leave her alone. Even though I can't do anything now, maybe even the ability to prevent this from happening, I hope that when it does happen, I can protect her, Church What is right for her and how to survive in this society."
