 At first sight it looks like a regular cell phone — same
size, same shape, same overall appearance. But beneath the digital face lies a .22-caliber pistol — a phone gun capable of firing four rounds in quick succession with a touch of the otherwise standard keypad.  cell
phone：蜂窝电话；这种手枪在外观上和普通的手机一模一样，相同的大小，相同的形状。 .22-caliber
pistol：.22口径的手枪；这种手枪可以连发四枚子弹，扳机就设在键盘上。European law enforcement officials — stunned by the discovery of these deadly decoys — say phone guns are changing the rules of engagement in Europe. “We find it very, very alarming,” says Wolfgang Dicke of the German Police union. “It means police will have to draw their weapons whenever a person being checked reaches for their mobile phone.” decoy：圈套。 draw：拿出，拔出；这位德国警官认为这种手枪的出现意味着在被检查人准备拿手机的时候，警察就得赶紧掏出枪了。Although cell phone guns have not hit America yet, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the U.S. Customs Service say they’ve been briefed on the new weapons. “This criminal invention represents a potentially serious threat to law enforcement and the public,” said U.S. Customs Service Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly. “We received word about these guns last month. We have since alerted our field personnel to be on the lookout for ‘cell phone guns’ at U.S. ports of entry.” brief：下达简令；虽然这种手枪还没有抵达美国，但是美国的联邦调查局，烟酒及武器局与海关总局都已经接到了相关的指令。
field personnel：野外人员；这里指在各个海关口岸工作的检查人员。
port of entry：（货物的）进口港，入境港；美国海关总局的负责人要求海关人员严防这种“手机手枪”在美国登陆。 |
