For example, the speaker describes the regular police as " bumblingly inept."

例如，教授将普通警察形容为“笨手笨脚”。

And this is the dynamic that you're going to see throughout the history of the detective novel, um, where you have the regular cops who are well-meaning, but officious and bumblingly inept.

在整个侦探小说史上，你们都能看到这种套路，一般来说侦探小说里那些普通的警察都是好人，但他们基本只会装模作样，而且笨手笨脚的。
