"Whoever takes (any letter, postal card, or package) out of (any post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of another), or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."
句尾“opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys”隻是alternative的行為動詞對應句首的“take”。就是所你可以用這任何其中一個動詞replace句頭的“take“來完成句子。 (1)內指的是物件(2)指的是in post office/before it has been delivered 。
