Lucy： It was a red light, William. You should've stopped the car.刚刚是红灯，威廉。你应该停车的。
William： Sorry. I didn't see it.对不起，我没有看到。
Lucy： I told you not to drink so much. Your breath reeks of alcohol. We'll get into trouble if we run into a policeman....Slow down a bit.早告诉过你别喝那么多。现在你满口的酒臭。万一碰到警察，我们就麻烦了。……开慢一点。
William： I'm only going 60 mph. (They see a dog right in the middle of the road.)才时速六十英里而已。(他们看到路中央有一只狗)。
Lucy： Look out！..(William swerves to avoid the dog and almost hits a car coming the opposite way. That car happens to be a police car.)....Oh, no!小心!……(威廉改变车向，把车子驶向另一边，结果差点儿懂上迎面而来的车子，（那辆车不巧正是一部警车。)…… 噢，这下糟了。
William： That damn stray dog!那只该死的野狗!
Policeman： OK, buddy, your driving license.好啦，老兄，你的驾照。
William： Here!....Listen to me, officer, it wasn't my fault. It was that dog. 在这儿!……听我说，警察先生，不是我的错。是那只狗。
Policeman： What dog? I didn't see any dogs.什么狗?我没看到有狗。
Lucy： It's true, officer. There was a dog in our lane. If it wasn't for the dog, we wouldn't have almost hit you.是真的，警察先生。刚刚我们的车道上有一只狗，要不是那只狗，我们也不会差点撞上你呀。
Policeman： You could have braked, couldn't you? How fast were you going?你可以刹车不是吗?你刚刚的时速是多少?
William： Well it was about 50 mph or less. I was driving very slow.大概五十里左右，或者更低些。我开得很慢。
Policeman： 50 mph? Don't you know the speed limit downtown is 40 mph?.... All right. That'll be one hundred dollars. 时速五十? 你不知道在市区开车的速限是每小时四十里吗?……好啦。一百块钱。
William： Wait a second! What do you mean "one hundred dollars''?等一下!你说『一百块钱』是什么意思?
Policeman： The fine. It's one hundred dollars. Speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol. You can't fool me with that smell of alcohol in your breath.罚款。一百元。超速和酒后驾驶。满身的酒味，你骗不了我的。
