STEALING/THIEF
故事中，弗瑞德·威尔克斯被控犯盗窃罪，即是英文的 stealing.Stealing一词的动词形式是to steal（偷），过去式是stole， 现在完成式是has/have stolen。例如：
That boy stole some money from me yesterday.
He was caught while stealing a car.
Have you ever stolen anything?
用来描述被偷的东西的形容词是stolen。
I saw him running away with a stolen TV.
He tried to sell me a stolen motorcycle.
英文中，偷东西的人thief（小偷）一词与steal（偷）这个词没什么联系。故事中，thief一词用过一次：
"…the shopkeeper ran out and shouted ‘stop thief ’ and ran after him."
Thief的复数形式是thieves。
例如：
Ken saw two thieves running away from the store.
There are many thieves in this neigh- borhood,so be careful.
还有一个与thief有关的名词是theft（盗窃），它用来指偷盗这一行为。例如：
There have been three thefts in our area this month.
There was a theft at the supermarket last night.
