《中英對照讀新聞》Black lab drives owner’s car into river 黑拉布拉多犬將飼主的車開入河裡
Bad dog. Charlie the black lab drove his owner’s car into the Pend Oreille River. As Mark Ewing walked home after returning from picking up a pizza, Charlie jumped into the car through an open window, and apparently knocked the vehicle into gear.
壞狗狗！黑拉布拉多犬查理把主人的車開入龐多雷河。當尤恩開車買披薩回來後，步行進入家門時，查理從一扇打開的車窗跳進車內，顯然撞到排檔，使車子移動。
"He somehow got the car into neutral," Ewing said. "My car just went boom, down an incline and into the drink."
「牠不知怎麼的讓車進到空檔，」尤恩說。「我的車發動了，然後下滑、落水。」
Ewing could only watch as his Chevy Impala sank into the river. Charlie jumped out of the window as the car went downhill. "There’s nothing weirder than looking at your car cruising down your driveway when you’re not in it and seeing your dog jump out and then watching your car go splash," Ewing said.
尤恩只能眼睜睜的看著他的雪佛蘭Impala沉入河中。車子下滑時，查理從車窗跳出。「沒有比目睹你的車在你人不在裡頭時，緩緩滑下車道，並看見你的狗跳出，然後車撲通入河還詭異的，」尤恩說。
Actually, things got a little weirder when the tow truck driver showed up.
事實上，在拖吊車司機出現後，事情的發展更加怪異。
Before the driver dove into the water to hook the car up to his truck, he asked Ewing to hold his dentures. "My car’s in the drink, I’ve got dentures in my hand and this guy Keith…goes swimming," Ewing noted.
這名司機在將拖吊車開到河邊，把落水車鉤上他的卡車之前，要求尤恩拿著他的假牙。「我的車泡在水裡，我的手裡有假牙，而這個叫基斯的傢伙下水游泳，」尤恩說道。
