An offender was brought to trial before a judge. The judge asked him, "What is the crime you have committed?"

The offender said, "I went shopping too early during the New Year."

The judge said, "This is not a crime!  Is there a mistake, perhaps? So how  early did you go shopping?" 

He answered, "The shop was not yet open for business,  and I was already inside."

有个犯人被带到法官面前审案，法官问他：“你犯了什么罪？”

犯人说：“因为我在新年时，太早去采购了。”

法官说：“这不是罪呀！可能是弄错吧？那你多早去采购呢？”

他说：“商店还没开门，我就已经进去了。”
