473　The Designated Decoy 被指定的诱饵

One night, a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible drunk drivers. At closing time he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered a Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, “Tonight, I'm the designated decoy.”

一天晚上，一个警察正在秘密监视一家特别吵闹的酒吧，准备抓酒后驾车的人。在酒店打烊的时候，他看见一个人踉踉跄跄地走出酒吧，在马路沿上走，用钥匙试了五辆车才找到自己的车。然后他坐在前座上瞎摸乱找了好几分钟。每一个人都离开了酒吧，开车走了。最后，他发动了引擎，启动了。警察正等着呢！他让司机下车，向他宣读了他的公民权利，让他做呼气分析测试。测试结果显示为零。困惑的警察要求知道是怎么一回事。司机回答说：“今天晚上我是被指定的诱饵。”
