        【选段台词】
        Judy：Wow, this is a lot of great info. Thank you.
        Cattle：Told you Nangi has a mind like a steel trap. I wish I had a memory like an elephant.
        Nick：Well, I had a ball. You are welcome for the clue. And seeing as any moron can run a plate, I will take that pen and bid you adieu.
        Judy：The plate. I can't run a plate. I'm not in the system yet.
        Nick：Give me the pen, please.
        Judy：What was it you said? Any moron can run a plate? Gosh, if only there were a moron around who were up to the task.
        Nick：Rabbit, I did what you asked. You can't keep me on the hook forever.
        Judy：Not forever. Well, I only have36 hours left to solve this case. So can you run the plate or not?
        Nick：Actually, I just remembered, I have a pal at the DMV. Flash is the fastest guy in there. You need something done, he's on it.
        Judy：I hope so. We are really fighting the clock and every minute counts. Wait. They’re all sloths?

        【重点词汇】
        1. a steel trap
        朱迪和尼克去自然俱乐部找线索，牦牛店长说南吉大象是奥獭顿的瑜伽老师，就带他们俩去找她，结果明明是牦牛自己记得……a steel trap 在这里指机灵，记忆力好的意思。本意是捕兽器的意思。
        2. have a ball
        尼克和朱迪在自然俱乐部找到线索后，尼克想跟朱迪分道扬镳，说自己跟她调查的这段时间have a ball 玩的愉快，狂欢的意思。这只是一句敷衍到不行的客套话，不过朱迪可不管这些，她就是赖着尼克啦~
        3. bid your adieu
        尼克说自己玩的愉快的目的是为了拿走那只录音笔，里面可是有他的把柄。他希望朱迪能放过他，朱迪要是把笔给他了，这动画片还怎么继续下去呢？Bid your adieu 是再见的意思。
        4. fight the clock
        牛局长只给了朱迪48个小时断案，这简直就是强人所难。朱迪简直把每分每秒都掰开来用。结果，尼克她带去找闪电查车牌号…… Fight the clock 争分夺秒，与时钟战斗，很形象的说法。
