1 Lesson 7 Too late
为时太晚
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a
valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police
that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were
waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the
parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping
guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of
stones and sand!
