地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客778: 列舉酒后駕駛（雙語(yǔ)）

Susan: Hey, Jack, you’re an attorney. Do you know anything about DUIs? 
蘇珊：嘿，杰克，你是個(gè)律師。你知道酒后駕駛的情況嗎？
Jack: Sure, I’ve handled a few DUI cases. 
杰克：當(dāng)然，我剛剛處理了一些酒后駕駛的案子。
Susan: I was just wondering about the penalties for a DUI. 
蘇珊：我想知道酒后駕駛會(huì)罰多少錢(qián)。
Jack: Well, if it’s a first offense, you’ll be fined and may be placed on probation. You’ll need to attend DUI school, and your license will berestricted, which means you can only drive to and from work and to and from DUI school. 
杰克：呃，如果你是初犯，會(huì)罰款然后觀察。你需要去酒駕學(xué)習(xí)，執(zhí)照會(huì)受限，也就是說(shuō)你只能開(kāi)車(chē)從工作到酒駕學(xué)習(xí)。
Susan: That sounds serious, but what if it’s not your first offense? 
蘇珊：聽(tīng)起來(lái)很?chē)?yán)重，但若不是初犯呢？
Jack: Then the penalties get even more serious. With your second offense, you’ll probably do mandatory jail time, anywhere from 96 hours to a year, depending on the circumstances. Your driver’s license will be suspended, and you’ll be placed on probation for several years. 
杰克：那罰款就會(huì)更多了，第二次犯的話，就會(huì)被強(qiáng)制拘留，拘留時(shí)間大概是96個(gè)小時(shí)到一年不等，拘留時(shí)間視情況而定。你的駕照會(huì)暫停使用，你會(huì)被觀察幾年。
Susan: Those are some severe penalties. But what if you already have two DUIs? 
蘇珊：那是嚴(yán)厲的懲罰，但是倘若你已經(jīng)有兩次酒后駕駛。
Jack: Then you’ll get several months in jail, at least. Your license will be revoked and you may be required to go into an alcohol treatment program. Why are you asking me all of these questions? You’re not in trouble, are you? 
杰克：那至少得住好幾個(gè)月的監(jiān)獄，駕照會(huì)被吊銷(xiāo)，你還會(huì)被要求去參加酒精治療計(jì)劃。 為什么問(wèn)我這些問(wèn)題？你沒(méi)有陷入什么困難中吧？
Susan: No, I’m not. I just met a guy and I really like him, but I think he just got his third DUI. 
蘇珊：不，我沒(méi)有。我剛認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)男孩，我很喜歡他。我想他剛好是第三次酒駕。
Jack: If that isn’t deterrent enough, you may think about what kind of relationship you can have with him – from behind bars! 
杰克：如果那還不夠有震懾力，或許可以考慮一下你跟他的關(guān)系——從獄友開(kāi)始！
