The first difference is that a policeman"s real life revolved round (围绕；以…为目的) criminal law.
He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.
He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his
feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on
thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he"s arrested, the story is over. In
real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and
terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a detective (侦探) really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and
to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.
A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first,
as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with (依照) the law.
Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of
the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If the detective has to deceive (欺骗) the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he
meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world
is deepened by the simple-minded - as he see it - of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and
judges, who, instead of eliminating(消除) crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this
will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people
who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical (愤世嫉俗的).

| Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地) and leave no mark. Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks. Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite（野营地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure. Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downivind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary. | |||
