A：Sir, may I please see your license and registration? Do you know how fast you were going?先生，我可以看看你的駕照和登記證嗎?你知道你開得有多快嗎?

B：No, I’m not sure. I think about 65 mph, right?不，我不知道。我想時速大約是65英里，對嗎?

A：You’re not sure? You were going at 90 miles per hour! That’s 25 mph over the legal speed limit! Have you been drinking?你不知道?你正以90英里的時速行駛!超過法定時速25英里!你在喝酒嗎?

B：No, Officer, not at all.沒有，警官，我根本沒有喝酒。

A：Then how can you explain your behavior?那你怎么解釋你的所作所為?

B：Well, I guess I just wasn’t paying attention to the speedometer.唔，我想我只是沒有注意速度計表。

A：Not paying attention to the speedometer? Why not?沒有注意速度計表?為什么沒有注意?

B：Um, because I was busy talking to my friend.嗯，因為我忙著和朋友談話。

A：On a cell phone?用手提電話?

B：Yes, I was using a cell phone. I just bought it, so I decided to give my friend a phone call to tell him about it. While I did that I also turned on the radio and was listening to one of my favorite songs, and eating some food I had bought at a fast food restaurant, and, um…… guess I had too many distractions.是的，我在用手提電話。我剛買的，所以我決定給我的朋友打個電話，告訴他這件事。與此同時，我還打開了收音機，正在聽一首我特別喜歡聽的歌，吃一些我在速食店買的食物，還有，嗯……我想我分心的事太多了。

A：That’s definitely true. I’m going to have to give you a ticket. Please remember to drive more carefully next time.肯定是這樣了。我要給你一張罰款單。請記住下次開車時要多加小心。
