　　目前，泰國警察只有一套棕色的長袖緊身制服，就算炎炎烈日下在曼谷街頭指揮交通，他們也得穿著這身行頭。

　　Fifteen wild turkeys strutted into a suburban hamlet of N.Y. on Thanksgiving Day and then left just in time to avoid dinner.
　　
　　The turkeys showed up Thursday morning, drawing crowds of spectators, but left — marching in single file — at about 1 p.m.

　　Suffolk County police were called because the turkeys created atraffic hazard while crossing a road. But the officers didn』t have tointervene because the birds kept walking — and hadn』t been seen orheard from since, residents said Friday.

　　據薩弗克縣居民上週五介紹，這群火雞過馬路時一度引發交通混亂，但由於它們一直在前進，（之後也未見蹤影，）所以聞訊趕來的警察沒有採取任何干預措施。
