Lesson 44: DWI and DUI. Jul 27th, 2006

We talked about the phrasal verbs “to check out” and “to check in”. We also discussed the drink driving laws in Japan, the US and the UK.

Extra Language
binge (drinking) = doing something in excess
rehab (rehabilitation) center = a place to recover from an addiction
butting in = interrupting
DWI = driving while intoxicated
DUI = driving under the influence
zero tolerance = no leeway under the law

Ancient Japanese English Study Secret
Here are some polite ways to interrupt someone:
Excuse me?
Sorry?
Excuse me for interrupting, but…(may I ask you a question)?
May I interrupt for a moment? Sure / Certainly

Phrasal Verb
“to check out” has several meanings:

1) it can mean to investigate or take a look at something e.g: we checked out the new pub last week.
2) it can mean to leave a hospital or hotel e.g: It’s late. We must check out soon.
3) it can be a used the same way as 2 with ‘of’ e.g: we checked out of the hotel by eleven.
4) it can mean to die, in a slang way e.g: the old man finally checked out.
5) to check in / into means to enter a hospital or hotel e.g: I checked into the hotel by 10 O’clock.
6) check into also means to investigate e.g: I checked into the prices of flights to London online.
