Disapproving Dad Attempts Kidnap|反对女儿恋爱 父亲绑架小伙

[英语美文]

An Idaho man has been arrested and accused of attempting to kidnap his daughter's boyfriend because he didn't like the couple dating. Paul Thomas, 49, was being held in the Ada County jail. He could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted on the kidnapping charge. Sheriff's investigators say Thomas allegedly grabbed the 18-year-old boyfriend in front of Eagle High School during the school's lunch hour and forced the young man into his van. “It looks like his daughter and the victim had a relationship that the father disapproved of,” one of the officials told a native newspaper. “He really felt he was in grave danger when he was thrown into the vehicle by Mr. Thomas.”



美国爱达荷州一名男子由于不喜欢女儿与男友约会而试图绑架女儿的男友,因此遭到逮捕和起诉。49岁的保罗·托马斯现关押在爱达县监狱。如果绑架罪名成立,他可能被判25年监禁。调查人员称,托马斯在伊格尔中学门口学生午餐时抓住了这个18岁的男生,并强行将其拉入篷车内。“看上去他女儿和该男生的恋爱关系遭到这位父亲的反对。”当地一官员对一家报纸说,“小伙子被托马斯先生拖入车内时的确感觉受到严重威胁。”
