DAN在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是吴琼问的：酒后驾车。 DAN: 吴琼, 你怎么无精打采的? WQ: 别提了!昨天晚上让警察给抓了! DAN: What happened? Who did you kill? WQ: 杀人?DAN你就别损我了，我哪会杀人，就是酒后驾车了，在美语里就是driving after drinking 对么? DAN: Actually it's called drunk driving. WQ, drunk driving is no trivial matter. You really shouldn't do it. WQ: 你就别教育我了，我知道错了!其实我也是第一次酒驾，以前我都很注意的!昨天实在没人开车了，我在一帮人里算喝得最少的了，就想…… DAN: You took a chance and thought you'd get lucky, right? WQ: 是。我觉得就这么一次，肯定出不了事，也肯定不会被抓到，谁知道…… DAN: You got pulled over by a cop? WQ: Pull over? DAN: Yea. When a cop asks you to stop the car on the side of the road, that's called getting pulled over. WQ: 明白了，警察 pull someone over，就是示意司机把车停靠在路边。Yes, I got pulled over by a traffic police. 我本来还想装作没事，结果人家警察叔叔一下就看出我喝了酒，一点情面也没留，罚了我1000块! |
