【今日基础词】 Influence

【Transcript】

I had just pulled over someone for driving under the influence when another car pulled up behind us.

I stopped what I was doing and walked back to see if the driver needed assistance.

“No, I don’t need any help,” he said. Then, pointing to the alarming light on the roof of my police wagon, he continued, “I just stopped for the red light.”

【注】under the influence 醉酒；police wagon 警车
