By dawn, the "caravan of love", created to ferry Michael Jackson's army of fans to Santa Maria, looked a few zips short of a full awning.2004年Michael Jackson 侵犯兒童案在Santa Maria開審,Michael Jackson的擁護大軍由專車接送去Santa Maria,在黎明時,所謂"愛的車隊"看起來是缺了幾幅布的大帳篷。Outside the courthouse in the half light a few dozen fans milled around trying to raise a smile by raising their hand painted banners proclaiming their idol's innocence.

Jackson saluted fans from the roof of his carEasily outnumbering his supporters, as the sun started to warm the courthouse complex, were the hundreds of reporters, camera crews, producers and even scaffolders hired to erect platforms for the larger broadcasters to rise above the hoi polloi.We had selected a spot on the flat roof of a lawyer's office opposite the court to get the best vantage point and watched as the desultory gathering became a genuine show of force.Buses plastered with images of Michael Jackson's extremities (feet, gloved hands, fedora clad head) disgorged fan after fan......When Michael Jackson's motorcade eventually pierced the roadblocks and pulled up outside the entrance, the mass of humanity seethed.

looked a few zips short of a full awning.意思是不完全,不妥當,不齊整。
