The phone trickThey hold out a phone. It's a relative who speaks English — take it.

Who it's for. Patrol officers, sheriff's deputies, border and customs staff in the U.S. who meet Mandarin-speaking drivers and have no interpreter on scene yet. Pinyin on every line, so you can read it out loud without knowing a single character.
