It was originally a chop shop when we first took over.

我们刚接手的时候，它本来是一家排骨店。

They usually strip the cars of their parts and sell them to chop shops.

他们通常会把汽车的零件拆下来卖给砍伐店。

A " chop shop" is a place where parts are taken from stolen cars and then sold.

“砍伐店”是从被盗汽车中取出零件然后出售的地方。

The officer says that they – the professional thieves – strip the cars of their " parts, " of the individual components or pieces, and sell them to chop shops.

这名官员说， 他们——职业窃贼——剥去汽车的“零件”， 即各个部件或部件，然后把它们卖给砍伐店。

" They usually strip the cars of their parts and sell them to chop shops." So, when a professional thief steals a car, they " strip" the car, meaning they take it apart completely.

“他们通常会剥去汽车的零部件， 然后卖给砍伐店。 ”因此，当专业小偷偷车时，他们会“剥去” 汽车，这意味着他们将其完全拆开。

So, it's not a public place, because it's illegal, of course, to steal a car, so chop shops are often places in bad neighborhoods or places where you don't really know what is there.

所以， 这不是一个公共场所，因为偷车当然是违法的， 所以排骨店通常位于不好的社区或你不知道那里有什么的地方。
