✔ 最佳答案

fallout 在這裏是指：餘波
round在裏是指：子彈　而live round就是真子彈
passer-by是途人
這是英文的idiomatic use(慣用），好像：
在文法上I caught his collar.是沒有錯的，但英文習慣會說：I caught him by his collar.
I hit his face但英文習慣會說I hit him on his face.
因為a passer-by on a motorcycle was shot in the neck是被動語，若寫主動語，就會成為 Someone shot a passer-by on a motorcycle in the neck
所以解釋只能說是英文的習慣。
這裏的they're not saying是進行式，意思是：沒說出（are not你可以看作do not同，之不過進行式要用be not +ing)
something有些事情
