夏天到了，烈日当头，相信大家现在只要出门就是大汗涔涔。在我们纷纷表示“我的这条命都是空调给的”的时候，大洋彼岸的美国也同样经历着炎炎酷夏。最近，热浪席卷美国大部分地区，美国国家气象局接连发布超高温预警，提醒居民们尽量减少户外活动。美国马塞诸塞州的警方甚至在社交媒体上发布了一则帖文，请求当地居民等天凉快些了再出来犯罪。这到底是怎么回事呢？
# Massachusetts police ask residents to refrain from crime until after the heat wave passes
It's dangerously hot across much of the country this weekend — so hot, in fact, that police in Braintree, Massachusetts, are imploring would-be criminals to hold off on illegal activity until Monday.
本周末，全国大部分地区都快热死人了。事实上，这“鬼天气”已经热到马萨诸塞州的布伦特里市警方恳请那些想要犯罪的人先缓一缓，等下周一再来犯罪。
The Braintree Police Department asked the community to put a pin in crime until the heat wave passes in a Facebook post Friday. "It is straight up hot as soccer balls out there," the department wrote in the post, which has racked up more than 106,000 shares since Friday.
布伦特里市警察局周五在脸书上发布了一则帖文，请求当地群众把犯罪的想法先放一放，等热浪过去之后再考虑。警察局在帖文里写道：“外面真的热成球了。”该帖文自周五发布以来，已累计获得了超过 10.6 万次的分享。
Yes, a police department really used the phrase "hot as soccer balls." The department confirmed to CNN Saturday that the post is, indeed, legit.
是的，警察局真的用了“热成球”这个说法。警察局在周六向 CNN 证实了这则帖文的真实性。
The heat is criminal enough. The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for parts of the eastern United States, including Braintree in eastern Massachusetts.
这个天热成这样，也是一种犯罪。美国国家气象局发布超高温预警：东部部分地区会出现高温天气，其中就包括马萨诸塞州东部的布伦特里市。
That's simply too hot for lawbreaking, Braintree police said.
布伦特里市的警察表示，这个天气简直太热了，不适合出去犯法。
Committing a crime in this sort of weather is "next level henchmen status," the department said, not to mention dangerous to the offender's health.
警局表示，这种天气还出去犯罪，就是在当“这种极端天气的帮凶”，更不用说这也会对犯罪者自己的健康造成危害。
In the post, the department suggested everyone wait out the heat wave indoors and suspend the illegal stuff until things cool down. "Stay home, blast the AC, binge Stranger Things season 3, play with the face app, practice karate in your basement," police said. "We will all meet again on Monday when it's cooler." The message is signed, "The PoPo."
在帖文中，警察局建议大家都暂停非法行为，呆在室内，等热浪过去，天气转凉再说。警察表示：“呆在家里，空调开到最大档，一口气看完《怪奇物语》第三季，玩会儿变脸 App，或者去地下室练练空手道，等下周一凉快点儿，我们再见。”这则信息的署名是：“警察蜀黍。”
