在我的祖国美国，对于酒后驾驶的惩处过于宽松。那些醉酒的人通常可以继续开车，直到他们撞死人。大部分司机都尊重生命，细心谨慎。但是总有些人坐到汽车方向盘前，就会暴露出施恶于他人的变态心理。保护人们的唯一方法就是严格执行法律，并修建旨在保护行人和骑车者等弱势出行者的马路。 By David Blair On December 27, 2017, cyclist Tom Palermo, a father of two young children, was run over by a drunk driver near Baltimore, Maryland. Riding on a road with a broad shoulder, far from traffic, he was left to die on the road, as the driver sped away. 2017年12月27日，两个孩子的父亲汤姆•巴勒莫在马里兰州巴尔的摩附近骑自行车时被一个酒驾司机开车撞倒。巴勒莫骑行的道路路肩宽，远离来往车辆，由于肇事司机疾驰而去，巴勒莫被留在事故地点，直至死亡。 The driver, a bishop in the Episcopal church, fled to her home. But, fortunately, another bike rider was able to follow her and report her location to police. Turns out she had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit and was also texting at the time she killed Palermo. 这位肇事司机是新教圣公会的主教，她逃回家中。但幸运的是，另一位骑行者跟上了她并把她的位置报告给警察。事后证明当时她血液中的酒精含量是法定上限的三倍，而且她撞死巴勒莫的时候还在发短信。 |
