Dripping Beer Stops Bus and Causes Row
.
Summary:
With beer mysteriously dripping from the upper deck onto the steering wheel and his own pants, the driver of a 69X bus went upstairs twice to investigate, which caused a passenger, irritated by the delay, to have a row with the driver. The argument naturally failed to solve the problem as everyone in the end had to wait for a replacement bus.

Language Enhancement:
Row (n./v.)(爭吵)
此字可作名詞或動詞，主要在英式英語中出現而且可有多個字義。它較常見的意思是名詞的「一行」和動詞的「划船」。在原文中它是解作「爭吵」（尤指大聲和充滿怒火的爭執），是 argument (n.) 的眾多近義字之一。名詞用法是 have a row + with sb. + over/about sth.，動詞用法是 Sb. + with sb. + about + N.。

e.g. My sister and I had a row over who would get the last piece of pizza.
e.g. Jack and Tom rowed about whether scrambled eggs are best served with pepper or soy sauce in the classroom today. Silly if you ask me.
