Dialogue: (對話)
Hope: | Hey, Joey, on my ways here, there was a traffic accident. |
Joey: | Oh! My! Was everything okay? |
Hope: | Yes. A motor scooter ran into a high school student who was riding her bike across the street. I think the student was rushing to school and the man was rushing to work. Luckily, both of them only got slightly hurt. |
Joey: | Rushing to somewhere…That’s the VERY moment when people are careless. |
Hope: | Right! That’s why we should always be careful when we hit the road. |
Joey: | 對! 一旦上路就要小心。 |
Hope: | ‘More haste, less speed. |
Joey: | More haste, less speed. 所謂的”欲速則不達”。 |
Hope: | In fact, a report on CNN news described Taiwan as a ‘living hell” and it claimed that Taiwan’s ‘living hell’ traffic is a tourism problem. And it suggests that Taiwan improve its road safety for drivers and pedestrians alike. |
Joey: | I know that…They say Taiwan is a “行人地獄.” |
Hope: | That makes Taiwan notorious for this bad image. |
Joey: | This is very bad. Everyone should obey the traffic regulations. |
