cop：警察

M：Calm down! Sometimes the cops stop people just to warn them， not to give them a ticket. You weren't going very fast anyway.

L：你說警察可能過來只是警告我一下，不一定會給我罰單呀？但愿如此，我好像是沒有開太快。Michael， 你剛才說“cops”， 那警車里到底有幾個警察呀？

M：When I say \"the cops\"， I mean the police in general. I'm not talking about any cop in particular.

L：噢，cop 這個名詞用復數的時候可以總的指警察，而不是指某個警察。 我就把車停這兒吧。 Michael， 我能稱呼警察“cop”嗎？
