Jennifer and Amanda were very good friends. Now in college, they had been friends since grade school. Jennifer was the smart, intelligent one. Amanda was the fun-loving, kind of sluttish one. 詹尼佛和阿曼达是非常好的朋友，她们的友谊从小学时候就开始了，现在又进了同一所大学。詹尼佛很聪明、机灵，而阿曼达爱出洋相，有点不拘小节。
One night, Amanda was chatting on the Internet while Jennifer did her calculus homework. Amanda was singing along with her head phones, and annoying Jen quite a bit. 有一天晚上詹尼佛在写微积分作业，阿曼达则是上网聊天。她一边上网一边对着耳机的话筒唱歌，詹尼佛让她给惹烦了。
"Shut up, Amanda. You're being annoying," Jen snapped. “闭嘴，阿曼达。烦死了。”詹尼佛厉声喊道。
"What's your problem?" Amanda asked, defensively. “怎么了?”阿曼达问，大有为自己辩护的态势。
"Nothing. Just... keep it down. Okay?" “没什么，小点声行吗?”
"Ok, no prob," Amanda replied. “噢，好的。”阿曼达回答说。
Jennifer went on doing her homework, as Amanda chatted. Suddenly, Amanda squealed with delight. 接下来，詹尼佛接着做作业，而阿曼达继续聊着天。突然，阿曼达高兴得大叫起来。
"Guess what, Jen!" “你猜有什么好事，珍!”
Jennifer sighed. "What?" 詹尼佛叹了口气，“是什么?”
"David wants to meet me tomorrow night!" “大卫明天晚上想和我见面!”
"Um, who?" “啊?谁?”
"You know. My internet boyfriend?" Amanda said impatiently. “你知道的啊!我网上的男朋友!”阿曼达有点不耐烦。
"Um. Great," replied Jennifer. Amanda, a little put out by her friend's lack of enthusiasm, signed off the Internet and decided to go to bed. “噢，不错，”詹尼佛回答说。听到好友有气无力的敷衍，阿曼达有点泄气，于是关了电脑准备睡觉了。
"Night, Jen." “晚安，珍。”
"Mmm," replied Jennifer. “恩。”詹尼佛答道。
The next night, as planned, Amanda went out to meet David at a local bar called "McGrundy's." They had an excellent night together, and it was getting pretty late. 第二天晚上，照原定计划阿曼达去了附近一个叫做“麦克格朗蒂”的酒吧去见那个叫大卫的人。他们当晚过得很开心，一直呆到很晚的时候。
"One more drink?" David asked. “想再喝一杯吗?”大卫问她。
"Sure. Why not?" Amanda replied, even though she was getting a little tipsy. David ordered Amanda another screwdriver, and handed it to her. She drank it down, and David paid. They left. “好啊，为什么不呢?”阿曼达回答说。其实她现在已经有点醉了。 大卫又点了杯“螺丝钻”鸡尾酒递给她。阿曼达一饮而尽，大卫付了账单，随即两个人离开了。
The next morning, Jennifer woke to hear whimpering in the bathroom. She really wasn't ready to wake up, as Amanda and her new boyfriend had come in late and woken her up. They'd been making a lot of noise in the bathroom, too. Jennifer moaned, got up, and walked into the bathroom. 转天早晨，詹尼佛被卫生间里传来的呻吟声惊醒。阿曼达和新男朋友昨晚回来的时候把她吵醒了，随后她们又在卫生间弄出了很大的声音，弄得她没睡好，现在根本不想起床。詹尼佛抱怨了一声，下床走进了卫生间。
"Amanda? What the hell?" Amanda was asleep in a bathtub full of ice cubes. Jennifer was extremely confused. She looked around the bathroom and saw a note on the counter top. It read: Call 911 if you want to live. “阿曼达，你又怎么了?”浴缸里装满了冰块，阿曼达就睡在里面。此时詹尼佛对眼前的一幕完全不知所云，她环视卫生间的四周，最后发现梳妆台上有张纸条。上面写着：如果你想活命的话，拨打911。
Jen, thinking it a joke, shook Amanda to try and wake her. She wouldn't wake up. Jennifer called 911. 詹尼佛以为阿曼达和她开玩笑，就晃着她的身子试图叫醒她。但是阿曼达怎么也醒不过来，于是詹尼佛拨打了911。
Paramedics arrived at their apartment and took Amanda out of the tub, naked. They rolled her over and, as they suspected -- Amanda's kidneys had been stolen. 医护人员来到了他们住的公寓，把赤裸着的阿曼达抬出浴缸。他们把阿曼达的身子翻过来，与他们怀疑的一样——她的肾脏被取走了。
