英语PK台 第873期: 美国开车 应对交警盘查
Dialogue 1
Mark: Ma'am, could you roll down your window, please? ...No! Don't open your door. Just roll down the window.
马克：女士，请您摇下车窗…不！别开车门，摇下车窗即可。
Jingjing: Sorry, I'm a little nervous.
京晶：抱歉，我有点紧张。
Mark: May I see your license 1 and registration 2?
马克：请出示您的驾照和车辆登记吗？
Jingjing: Sure, here they are.
京晶：当然。给您。
Mark: Do you know why I stopped you?
马克：您知道我为什么叫停吗？
Jingjing: I'm afraid I have no idea.
京晶：恐怕…我还真不知道。
Mark: You failed to stop at an intersection 3 a while back. There was a stop sign, and you turned right without even slowing down.
马克：之前您在十字路口没停车。那儿有个停车标识，您右转时甚至都没减速。
Jingjing: Was that back in town? I remember taking a right and seeing clearly in all directions. I thought it was okay to keep going.
京晶：是在城里吗？我记得我当时右转了，四下看得很清楚。我以为可以继续前行。
Mark: No ma'am. According to California law, if there's a stop sign, you have to come to a complete stop, even before turning right.
马克：并非如此，女士。根据加州法律，如遇停车标识，您必须完全停车，即使要右转了也得停。
Jingjing: I'm sorry. I just filled up for gas and was eager to get back on the interstate. I guess I didn't notice the stop sign.
京晶：很抱歉。我刚给车加满了油，想着赶紧上高速，我猜我真没有注意到这个停车标识。
Mark: You need to pay more attention to signals and signs. If there's a kid on a bike or someone standing 4 at the corner, they need to be safe on the street.
马克：您需要更加留意信号灯和路牌标识。如果有骑车的儿童，行人站在角落，他们需要在街头有安全保障。
Jingjing: I get it. I'll be more careful from now on. Are you going to give me a ticket?
京晶：明白了。今后我会更小心的。您会给我开张罚单吗？
Mark: Stay here while I go back to the patrol car. I'm going to check your records for a few minutes, and then I'll be right back. Do not get out of the vehicle.
马克：您停在这儿，我回去巡逻车检查您的驾驶记录，需要几分钟，然后我就会回来。别下车。
Jingjing: Okay, officer. I'll be right here.
京晶：好的，长官。我就在原地。

Jingjing: Is everything okay?
京晶：一切正常吗？
Mark: Your driving record is clear in the state of California. Ma'am, could I see what you havebehind your seat?
马克；您的驾驶记录在加州是没问题的。女士，我能看一下您座位后那是什么吗？
Jingjing: Huh? Here, let me unlock that door. Okay, try it now.
京晶：啊？让我来打开那个门。好了，您看看
Mark: Would you like to tell me about this?
马克：这个东西，您有什么想说的吗？
Jingjing: Oh, that wine bottle? I forgot all about that!
京晶：哦，那个酒瓶吗？我都忘干净了。
Mark: When was the last time you consumed alcoholic beverages?
马克：您上一次饮用酒精饮料是什么时候？
Jingjing: It'd be that wine, two—no, three days ago. I put the bottle in the seat pocketbecause I didn't want it rolling around the trunk.
京晶：那瓶酒的话，2天，哦不，三天前。我把酒瓶放在座位袋里已经我不想它在后备箱里滚来滚去。
Mark: Technically, this is an open container.
马克：严格说，这是一个开口容器。
Jingjing: I don't want to argue, but the cork is in there pretty tight.
京晶：我不想争辩，但是那个酒瓶塞还是挺紧的。
Mark: It's still an open container, because it's not sealed, and it's within reach of the driver.Could you step out of the vehicle now?
马克：那也是一开口容器，因为它不是密封的，而且就在司机触手可及的范围内。您现在能从车里出来一下吗？
Jingjing: Sure, okay.
京晶：当然，好的。
Mark: Breathe into this for me.
马克：请您对着这个吹气。
Jingjing: Ok, like this?
京晶：哦？像这样吗？
Mark: Yes. This shows your blood alcohol to be below the legal limit. How about you securethis wine bottle in the trunk for me?
马克：是的，这个显示您的血液酒精含量在合法值以下。这样如何？您能确保把酒瓶在后备箱里妥善放置好吗？
Jingjing: Alright. Am I in any trouble?
京晶：好的。我有麻烦了吗？
Mark: I'll let you off with a warning this time. But I'm going to flag your record. Any furtherviolation within the next month is far more likely to result in a citation, or worse.

京晶：谢谢，长官，十分感谢。
