"It's a game, but it's not a game when you're behind the wheel," public information officer T.J. Smith said. "This could have easily, easily been a tragedy."

“stay vigilant”を取りあげます。『ジーニアス英和辞典』によると“vigilant”は「危険に備えて絶えず警戒する, 油断のない」という意味がありました。“be cautious about”や“open eye”という表現もありますが、“vigilant”には絶えずというニュアンスがふくまれているようです。LDOCEでは“giving careful attention to what is happening, so that you will notice any danger or illegal activity”と定義されています。
また名詞はvigilanceで「警戒, 寝ずの番」という意味があり、これを使って“excercise vigilance” で「警戒する」という表現もあることがわかりました。(lua)
