“I've nothing to say for myself and I'm willing to be punished(惩罚),” he said when he was standing in the court. “What I want to say is that I feel sorry for what I?ve done. I thought alcohol(酒精) could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could take away others freedom. And now I've lost my own freedom because of drinking. I'll obey the new road safety rules and I want to be a life?long volunteer in persuading(劝说) others not to drive after drinking.”?
Anyone who drives after drinking doesn?t think much of human life.
