吸食大麻?
前兩週又有藝人吸食毒品而上了媒體的社會版！禁藥或是毒品的名字我們之前已經介紹過了，但是「吸食」禁藥要用哪個動詞呢? 是"absorb"，還是"suck"，或是"take in"? 其實都不是。一般而言，英文裡不說「吸食毒品」，英文較常用的說法是「使用禁藥」,也就是"use illegal drug"。
小朱是這位染毒藝人的朋友，他在email中與別人談到此事。讓我們看看他是如何用英文來掰這個話題的！
逮捕 → arrest [ ]
毒品、禁藥 → illegal drug [ ]
1.你有沒有看到阿蕭因為又沾上毒品而被警方逮捕的新聞?
這句話，英文要怎麼掰?
Did you see the news that A-hsiao was arrested by the police for using illegal drugs again?
釋放→ release [ ]
勒戒、復健 → rehabilitation [ ]
2.我的印象是她三個月前剛從勒戒所被放出來。
這句話，英文要怎麼掰?
It is my impression that she has just been released from the drug rehabilitation program three months ago.
惹上麻煩 → get into trouble
3.以她之前的使用禁藥記錄, 她這次真的有麻煩了。
這句話，英文要怎麼掰?
With her previous records of using illegal drugs, she is really getting into trouble this time.
以下就是小朱給友人的e-mail:
