“酒后驾车”英文怎么说

 “酒后驾车”英文怎么说 

　　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！ 

　　DAN: 1000块？酒驾罚款不是200么？ 

　　WQ: 上礼拜才改的新规定！都让我赶上了！ 

　　DAN: Sounds like you had a tough break! 

　　WQ: To have a tough break 就是倒霉吧？我的确是够倒霉的！ 

　　DAN: WQ, I’m sorry you had a tough break, but it’s no excuse for drunk driving. Next time you go out drinking with a bunch of friends, don’t forget to have a designated driver! 

　　WQ: Designate? D-E-S-I-G-N-A-T-E, designate是指定的意思，designated driver就是专门负责开车送朋友们回家的人喽！ 

　　DAN: 没错！ 

　　WQ: Next time we’ll definitely have a designated driver! 

　　DAN: Good idea! Now let’s see what you’ve learned today. 

　　WQ: 酒后驾车是drunk driving； 警察示意路边停车是pull someone over； 倒霉，运气差，是have a tough break； party结束后专门负责开车送大家回家的人是the designated driver。
