因醉驾被捕的音乐人高晓松本周一被吊销驾照。
上文报道中的高晓松因drunken driving(醉驾)而被捕,警方宣布revoke his driver’s license(吊销他的驾驶执照)。Revoke的意思是“取消;废除;使无效”,例如:The government formally revoked the state of emergency.(政府正式解除紧急状态。)
高晓松的醉驾导致four-car pileup(四辆车连环相撞),三人受伤,目前他被拘留在detention house(看守所)中。现在醉驾已入刑法,成为一项independent charge(独立罪名),违者将受到heavy penalty(严惩)。
