DORIS: No, it can't be. Really? Who?
CAROL: I don't know. I saw him the first time Tuesday. He was at the cafe.I noticed he was looking at me a lot. Not just the usual looking, but staring.He just kept staring at me. He didn't stop.
DORIS: What did you do?
CAROL: I didn't do anything. Finally, he left.But then I saw him again today. Outside the shoe store. Near the cafe.I went into a CD store and pretended⁴ I was looking at CD's. But then he came in too.
DORIS: Did he leave when you left?
CAROL: Yes. Then I noticed he was on the sidewalk behind me. He was following me.
DORIS: What did you do?
CAROL: He followed me all the way home!
DORIS: That's about five blocks. And around corners too.So he was definitely⁵ following you.
CAROL: Yes, he was. I'm not imagining it.Finally, just when I got home, I turned around and looked at him.He was just standing⁶ there. He didn't smile. He just stood there. It was so obvious.What should I do? I'm so scared. Can I call the police?
DORIS: Actually, I don't think you can call the police. Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything. And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again, then maybe you should call.
CAROL: Why can't I call the police now? He was definitely following me!
DORIS: Of course you can call the police if you want. That's not what I mean.I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything.
CAROL: I suppose. What can they do? I don't even know who he is.
DORIS: Listen, Carol. Don't let this bother you too much.Probably it's nothing. Just keep your eyes open when you go out.If you see him a third time,and if he follows you again, then I think we should go to the police.But for now, just try not to worry.
CAROL: Alright. And I won't go to that cafe for awhile.
卡萝：桃乐丝，真高兴你回来了。我好害怕，我不知道该怎么办。
桃乐丝：怎么了？发生什么事？
卡萝：我觉得有人跟踪我。
桃乐丝：不可能吧。真的吗？是谁？
卡萝：我不知道。星期二我第一次看到他，在咖啡店里。我注意到他一直在看我。不是随便看，是瞪着我看。他就一直瞪着我看，没停过。
桃乐丝：你做什么反应？
卡萝：我什么也没做，最后他走了。但是今天我又看到他，在鞋店外面，咖啡厅附近。我到 CD 店假装在看 CD，然后他也进来。
桃乐丝：你离开他也离开吗？
卡萝：是的。然后在人行道上我注意到他在我后面。他跟踪我。
桃乐丝：你怎么做？
卡萝：回家的路上他都跟着我。
桃乐丝：大约距离五条街，也在转角附近。所以他绝对是跟踪你。
卡萝：是的，我现在没在想。最后就在我回到家时，我转身过去看他。他就站在那里。没有笑容，就站在那里，太明显了。我该怎么办？我好害怕，我可以报警吗？
桃乐丝：事实上，我不认为可以报警，至少还不是时候。他没做什么，也许警察根本不理会这个。但是再有事情发生，也许你就要报警了。
卡萝：为什么现在不能报警？他确实是跟踪我。
桃乐丝：当然你可以报警，我不是那个意思。我只是说他们可能不会做什么。
卡萝：我想也是。他们能做什么？我甚至不知道他是谁。
桃乐丝：卡萝，你听我说，别让这件事太困扰你。也许没什么，当你出门时注意一点就好了。如果第三次你再看到他如果他再跟踪你，我们就应该报警。但是现在就试着别去担心。
卡萝：好吧，我暂时不会去那家咖啡厅
