Ok right then , well after a bit of thought, the law that I would like to talk to you about is the drink-driving law, which I guess every country has to some degree, but here in China it’s very strict, in that you can’t drink any alcohol at all before you drive, you know, not even a drop. And it’s been extremely effective in deterringpeople from drinking before they drive, because they know that if they get caught, they’ll get points deducted from their licence, they’ll get fined, and possibly also go to prison.

And uh, as for how I first learnt about this law, well I honestly can’t remember, but I suppose it must have been through either watching the news on TV or reading the paper, cos when the law was revised, it was pretty big news. You know, previously, I think the law was that you could have a certain amount to drink, like, one or two beers or something, but then the government decided to really crack down on it, and changed the law to no alcohol at all.

But anyway, going on to who benefits from this law, well um…… I think it’s fair to say that society as a whole benefits, um…cos I mean, we’re all better off without having drunk drivers on the road. You know, I don't think anyone would argue the fact that it makes for a much safer society. I don’t know the actual statistics or anything, but I’m sure the number of traffic accidents has decreased considerably since this law came into effect.

And that’s basically why I’d say it’s such a good law, you know, it prevents a lot of needless accidents. So yeah, I completely agree with it, and I think it’s essential that we continue to have it.

Notes:

Deter - 阻止;制止 To deter someone from doing something means to make them not want to do it

Get fined - 受到处罚

Revise – 修订，修正

crack down on - 严厉打击

(but) anyway -表示略去一些细节转到下一个主要话题. You use anyway or anyhow to indicate that you are missing out some details in a story and are passing on to the next main point or event

I think it’s fair to say – 我觉得可以说……

society as a whole = the whole society

Better off - 境况较好

it makes for = it results in; it leads to……

came into effect = was implemented

needless = 没有必要的
