My date picked me up to go to a movie. Just as we got to the theater, we were pulled over(开到路边) by the police. He had been swerving(突然转向) in and out of lanes(车道) so recklessly(卤莽地) that the policeman asked him to get out of the car for a Breathalyzer test. When the policeman realized we were both sober(镇静), he asked why our car had been swerving before he let we go. My date said he was so involved in our conversation, he was not paying attention to the road.

　　注：Breathalyzer test呼吸试验(测定某人呼吸中的酒精含量)

　　我的约会伙伴(我妈给安排的)用车接我去看电影。快到电影院的时候，却被警察叫住，让我们把车靠在路边，因为警察说他在车道上卤莽地串来串去，并且还要他下车做呼吸酒精测试(根据文中意思，可知并没有测试)。当警察意识到我们俩还算镇静，就放我们走了，并顺便问我们车为何开的那么不稳，那个家伙说他太专著于我们之间的谈话了，几乎没有注意到路的情况。

　　That conversation consisted of him talking about his job, his ex-girlfriend and his family without me saying anything.

　　我们之间的整个谈话都是他在谈，谈他的工作，他的前任女友，以及他的家庭。(优秀翻译例句！)

　　Cut to after the movie. My date decided to take me the way home. He started talking about himself -- again not letting me get a word in. In the process, he failed to notice a small dog walking on the side of the road. After he hit the poor thing, I screamed to stop, but he just looked at me strangely and kept driving.

　　看完电影后，约会伙伴决定送我回家，他由开始谈自己了，不让我插一句话。在路上，一只小狗在路边，但他又没有看见，结果可想而知。当他碾过可怜的小动物的时候，我叫了出来，并让他停车，但是他只是奇怪的看了看我，继续开他的车。

　　I wish I could say that was the end, but just as we neared my neighborhood, he ran over a cat. Can you believe it? And to top it off(从头碾过), when we finally got to my house, he had the nerve(勇气) to ask for another date. I answered as calmly as I could, "I just don't think that would be a good idea."

　　我希望自己能够说这一切到此为止了，但是当我们经过我的邻居(家)的时候，他又碾过一只猫。你相信么？而且是从头碾过。回到我家的时候，他(这个无耻的人)居然还有勇气邀请我下一次约会。我很平静的回答："我不觉得这是个好主意。"

　　Brian小结：

　　1、He was pulled over by the policeman when he broke the red light so recklessly.他是如此卤莽的闯过红灯，以至于被警察喝令把车停到路边。(电影中经常出现的镜头)

　　pull over把车停在一边

　　2、Jack surely knows who set him up , and he swore after coming out of the jail , he will take a revenge of that guy!

　　Jack当然知道是谁陷害了他，他发誓等到出狱以后一定会采取报复措施。

　　(set up是一个在警匪片中出现频率很高的一个词)

　　3、That conversation consisted of him talking about his job, his ex-girlfriend and his family without me saying anything.

　　我们的谈话一直都是他在喋喋不休的在谈自己，谈他的工作，他的前女友和他的家庭，我什么也插不上话。

　　(你周围有这种婆婆妈妈的人么？)

　　4、He tried to look as sober as he could, but the police could immdiately tell he was lying!

　　他尽量装的镇定，但是警察一眼就发现他在撒谎。

　　5、I really think highly of him to come up with the nerve to ask the girl for dinner again after being rejected for a hundred times.

　　被这个女孩拒绝一百多次了，这个人居然还有勇气邀请她吃午饭，我不禁对他肃然起敬！

　　(追女孩子就是要有这种脸皮！)

　　Nerve在口语中经常指勇气，还有guts也是相同的意思。
