daylight robbery （大白天的抢劫）

cherishie

Daylight robbery   
If you are overcharged or underpaid, it is a daylight robbery; open, unfair and hard to prevent.
如果有人多收你钱或少付你钱，这叫作“大白天的抢劫”。这种抢劫是公开的、不公平的、也难以预防。想想也是，抢劫一般都在晚上，更小心的人会往头上套丝袜（当然了，丝袜里不会像木子那样再套棉裤），防止人家看出来。于是在外观上，白天抢和晚上抢并不一样，我们这里所说的白天抢劫，是用来比喻不平等的交易。

Inflation is like daylight robbery. (通货膨胀就像明目张胆地抢劫/光天化日下的抢劫)
-Yesterday I asked 天津阿龙 to take a photo for me. (昨天我请龙叔给我照了张相)
-Great. Did he charge you? (真棒。他收你钱了么？)
-For a very common 4-inch picture, he charged me 87.6 Yuan. (一张很普通的4寸照片，他收了我八十七块六)
-That’s daylight robbery! （他干脆直接抢得了）

Houses are so expensive nowadays. The real estate developers are so greedy and they want to drive the prices to the sky. That is really daylight robbery.

伊人独酌

Do you think the price of the house can decrease

A Player's House Is Robbed During a Game比赛时家里被盗

Steven Gerrard helped his Liverpool team win a game in Marseille on Tuesday.

However, while he was playing, four thieves broke into his house in Liverpool and stole many of his possessions（东西）.

The four men wore dark clothing and hoods（帽子）.

His wife Alex was at home at the time but was not hurt.
