There is a truth universally acknowledged by drivers in India: honk your horn loud enough and the traffic lights will surely change to green. 在印度,司机们普遍认为:只要你喇叭按得足够响,交通灯就一定会变成绿灯。 But, fed up of impatient drivers inflicting a deafening roar every time they are forced to stop, police in Mumbai have come up with a new system to punish those who cannot wait at traffic lights in silence. 但是,孟买警方受够了不耐烦的司机每次被迫停车时制造的震耳欲聋的喇叭声,因而打造了一个新系统来惩罚那些不能在红绿灯前安静等待的人。 The new system, said the police, was quite simple: "Honk more, wait more." 警方表示,新系统非常简单:“按喇叭次数越多,等待时间越长。” |
