A Chinese-American university student mistakenly left in a Drug Enforcement Administration interrogation room for five days will receive $4.1 million from the government in a settlement in advance of a lawsuit.一位美籍华裔大学生被“遗忘” 在美国缉毒署审讯室达5天之久。该名学生目前与缉毒署达成和解，将获赔410万美元。

"It was an accident, a really bad, horrible accident," said Chong, who added that he now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.“这是一起事故，一起非常严重恶劣的事故”，丹尼尔表示现在自己还遭受创伤后应激障碍的折磨。
The bizarre event in April 2012 began when Chong, an engineering student at UC San Diego, went to a house near campus to smoke marijuana with friends and found himself swept up in a DEA raid.丹尼尔是加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校工程学专业的学生，这起事件发生在2012年4月，当时他和朋友在学校附近的一处房子里吸食大麻，结果遇到了缉毒署的突袭抓捕行动。

He suffered hallucinations and was forced to drink his urine to survive. He screamed for help. Fearing he would die, he broke his glasses and scrawled the message, “Sorry, mom” on his arm.丹尼尔甚至出现了幻觉，为了生存他被迫喝下自己的尿液。他大声呼叫求助，因为怕自己会死掉，他打破了眼镜在自己的手臂上刻下了“对不起，妈妈” 这样的遗言。
When he was discovered by DEA employees, he was covered in his own feces and severely dehydrated. He was rushed to a hospital, close to kidney failure and breathing with difficulty. He spent five days in the hospital.在被缉毒局工作人员发现时，丹尼尔身上都是自己的排泄物，身体严重脱水。随后他被立即送往了医院，身体出现了肾功能衰竭和呼吸困难。他住院治疗了5天。
Days later, a top DEA official apologized to Chong and ordered an “extensive review” of DEA procedures.几天后，圣地亚哥缉毒局的高级官员向丹尼尔道歉，并表示将督促对缉毒署工作流程进行广泛审查。
