Man 1: Where are the chocolate biscuits I was saving? I am sure I saw them yesterday.
我放起来的巧克力饼干在哪儿？我确信我昨天还看见了。
Man 2: Sorry, I don't know. Blame Dave, he's always nicking things.
对不起，我不知道。问问Dave，他总是偷东西。
----------------
Rob: So, one of them lost a bike and the other one lost his chocolate biscuits.
Helen: 自行车和巧克力饼干都被偷了，真倒霉。该请警察们出动破案了。
Rob: Yes. The police can definitely help them by nicking those petty thieves.
Helen: This is confusing. 你说警察也能 nick? 他们能偷东西？这不大可能吧？
Rob: No, no, no, no. The police can't nick things from people. But when they arrest someone, we can say the person is nicked. It means they're arrested by the police.
不，不，不，不。警察不会从人们那里偷东西。但是当他们抓住罪犯时，我们可以说那个人被捕了。也就是说他们被警察逮捕了。

Example
Woman: Have you heard from Inspector James?
你听见巡查员James的信息了吗？
Man: No. He's working on a big case. I think they have just nicked the main suspect!
没有，他正在破一件大案子。我想他们一斤逮住主要的嫌疑犯了。
----------------
Helen: 我明白了，如果警察抓住了犯罪分子， 那么我们就可以用 nick 这个词来表示警察逮捕了某人。所以 nick 这个词即可以是指东西被偷了，也可以指警察抓住坏人了。
Rob: Helen, you've got it. Just remember it's not a formal expression.
Helen你终于明白了。要记住那是非正式的表达。
Helen: Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. 我记住了 nick 是地道的英国口语。谢谢收听。 Bye for now.
Rob: Bye!
