A Chinese food craving¹ is a powerful thing — just ask Officer Jason Inacio of the Newark Police Department.

对中餐的渴望是很强大的，只管问问纽瓦克警察局的杰森·伊纳西奥警官。

He was able to use a simple offer of Chinese takeout to help coax² a man out of his apartment bedroom, where he was reportedly threatening to cut his own throat with a knife on Saturday.

他用一份中餐外卖就把一名男子诱哄出他公寓的卧室，而据报道，这名男子周六曾扬言要用刀割喉。

"He said he was hungry," Inacio told NJ.com. "And wanted Chinese food."“他说他饿了，想吃中餐。”伊纳西奥告诉新泽西地方新闻。

Cops had been negotiating with the 38-year-old man for roughly 20 minutes before Inacio came up with the idea to grab him some takeout.

警察与这名38岁的男子沟通了约20分钟，之后伊纳西奥想到了给他拿点外卖的办法。

"We gave someone $20 and I told him, 'I'll let you eat on the way to the hospital,'" Inacio recalled. "We just wanted to figure out where he was coming from and reassure³ him. The only reason we're there is to help him and try to comfort him."“我们给了某人20美元，并且我告诉他，‘我会让你在去医院的路上吃东西的，’”伊纳西奥回忆道。“我们只是想了解他来自哪里，并打消他的疑虑。我们去那儿的唯一原因就是要帮助他并试着安慰他。”

A family member reportedly grabbed the food — described as "a hearty⁴" chicken and broccoli⁵ bowl — and delivered it to the man.

据报道，一位家庭成员拿了一碗“丰盛的”西兰花炒鸡肉，给了这名男子。

"Look, you see it right there," Inacio can be heard saying on video captured through his bodycam, as he shows the man a bag of food. "I promised you that, right? So come on…I'll let you eat it on the way."从伊纳西奥的执法记录仪上拍摄的一段视频中可以听到他说，“你看，它就在那儿，”他向那名男子展示了那袋食物，“我答应过你，对吧？所以，来吧……我会让你在路上吃的。”

The man eventually agreed to drop the knife and was transported to a local hospital by ambulance soon after.

这名男子最终同意放下刀，并乘坐之后到达的救护车去了当地医院。

"I like to always keep my promises," Inacio said. "If I promise something, I want to follow through with my promise. And in this case, I promised him the Chinese food if he came with us."“我愿意一直信守承诺，”伊纳西奥说道。“如果我做出了承诺，我就会信守承诺。这次我承诺他，如果他跟我们走，我就让他吃中餐。”
