Angela Chao, the chief executive of a shipping company and part of a prominent family in American politics, was legally intoxicated when she drove into a pond in Texas and died last month, according to a police report released on Wednesday, which called the episode an “unfortunate accident.”
据周三发布的警方报告称，一家航运公司的首席执行官、美国政坛显赫家族的成员赵安吉上个月在得克萨斯州驾车冲入池塘死亡时，在法律上处于醉酒状态。报告将该事件称为一起“不幸事故”。

The report, released by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, describes a harrowing scene on the night of Feb. 10 as friends and deputies tried frantically to pull Ms. Chao from her Tesla, after she drove it into the pond at a family ranch in Johnson City, Texas.
该报告由布兰科县治安官办公室发布，描述了2月10日晚的惨剧，当时赵安吉将她的特斯拉开进了约翰逊城其家族牧场的池塘，朋友和警员们极力试图将她从车中拉出来。

Earlier that night, Ms. Chao, 50, had dinner with a group of friends at a guest lodge at the ranch, the report states. At about 11:30 p.m., the guests began to return to their bedrooms or to their homes. Ms. Chao then got into her Tesla and reversed into the pond, the report states.
报告称，当晚早些时候，50岁的赵安吉与一群朋友在牧场的待客处所共进晚餐。晚上11时30分许，客人们陆续返回卧室或家中。报道称，赵安吉随后坐进她的特斯拉车，倒车冲进了池塘。

A friend told investigators that Ms. Chao called her at 11:42 p.m. to tell her that her car was in the pond and that she couldn’t get out of it. The water was rising, and Ms. Chao said “she was going to die and said ‘I love you,’” before the Tesla went under the water, the report states. The conversation lasted about eight minutes.
她的一位友人告诉调查人员，赵安吉于晚上11时42分给她打电话，告诉她车在池塘里，自己无法脱身。报告中写道，水位不断上涨，在特斯拉沉入水下之前，赵安吉说“她快要死了，并说了‘我爱你’”。两人的对话持续了大约八分钟。

The friend then got into a kayak and paddled toward the Tesla, as another friend got into the water, swam to the vehicle and climbed on top of it, trying to find Ms. Chao, the report states. A third friend contacted 911 at 11:55 p.m. and remained on the phone for 11 minutes, the report states.
报告称，这名友人随后跳上皮划艇，划向特斯拉，而另一名友人则跳入水中，游到车边，爬上车顶，试图找到赵安吉。 报告显示，第三位朋友于晚上11时55分拨打911，持续通话了11分钟。

When law enforcement officials and firefighters arrived, they entered the cold water and tried to enter the car, the report states. The driver’s door window was broken, and a deputy went underwater and began feeling around the car until he found Ms. Chao.
报告称，当警察和消防员到达现场时，他们跳入冰冷的水中，试图进到车内。他们打破了驾驶员侧车门的车窗，一名警员潜入水下，在车内摸索，直到找到赵安吉。

Her body was taken ashore, but emergency medical workers were not able to regain a pulse and Ms. Chao was pronounced dead at 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 11. The report says that a toxicology test found that Ms. Chao had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.233 grams per 100 milliliters, above the legal limit in Texas of .08 grams per 100 milliliters.
她的尸体被打捞上岸，但急救人员无法恢复她的脉搏。2月11日凌晨1点40分，赵安吉被宣告死亡。报告称，毒理学检测发现，赵安吉血液中含有酒精，浓度水平为每100毫升0.233克，高于得克萨斯州每100毫升0.08克的法定上限。

“After reviewing all of the evidence,” Ms. Chao’s death was determined to be an “unfortunate accident,” the report states.
报告称，“在核查过所有证据后，”赵安吉的死亡被确定为“不幸事故”。

A spokesman for Ms. Chao’s father, James S.C. Chao, and the Chao family said in a statement that Ms. Chao’s death “was a terrible tragedy, and words cannot describe the family’s profound grief.”
赵安吉的父亲赵锡成和赵氏家族的发言人在声明中表示，赵安吉的去世“是一场可怕的悲剧，言语无法形容家人的深切悲痛”。

“The family is grateful for the first responders and friends who tried so hard to save her,” the statement said.
声明称，“她的家人非常感谢急救人员和努力营救她的朋友。”
