Excuse 借口

　　A New Zealand man caught driving at more than twice the legal speed limit claimed he needed to step on the gas in order to blow-dry his car. Roger Daniel, 37, offered the novel excuse after he was nabbed traveling at over 120 kilometers per hour in a 50 kph zone in the northern town of Whangarei, the DominionPost newspaper reported. "I have a bad back and just thought I would do that instead of having to chamois(麂皮，羚羊皮) it dry," he told police. The explanation failed to impress: Daniel was fined $191 and had his licence suspended for six months.

　　一個(gè)新西蘭男人以超過法定速度的兩倍開車而被拘，他的理由是需要加大油門好讓風(fēng)吹干他的汽車。37歲的羅杰·丹尼爾以每小時(shí)120公里的速度在限速50公里的新西蘭北部城鎮(zhèn)璜加雷一帶開車被逮住后給出了這么一個(gè)新奇的理由，《主權(quán)郵報(bào)》報(bào)道。“汽車后部濕了，我想用這種方法來代替擦干它，”他對(duì)警方說道。而這一解釋并沒有給警方留下好印象，他被罰款191美元，吊扣行駛執(zhí)照6個(gè)月。
