紐約騎車人呼吁白思豪退出2020年的競(jìng)選活動(dòng)

Mayor Bill de Blasio should stop running for president and focus on Big Apple cyclists getting run over, cycling enthusiasts said Sunday.

自行車愛好者周日表示，紐約市長(zhǎng)白思豪應(yīng)該停止競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)，把注意力放到騎自行車的人被車撞的交通問題上。

The call came as more than 200 cyclist rallied for safe streets in memory of Jose Alzorriz, the 19th cyclist killed on Big Apple streets this year — while the mayor chases his long shot presidential bid.

為紀(jì)念今年在紐約街頭喪生的第19名自行車手何塞•阿爾佐里茲，200多名自行車手聚集在一起，向政府呼吁安全的街道。與此同時(shí)，市長(zhǎng)正在努力爭(zhēng)取他的總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選之路。

“Mr. Mayor, I know you’re running for president,” Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said at the Prospect Park launching site of the rally, urging hizzoner to “please stop running, come back home.”

“市長(zhǎng)先生，我知道你在競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)，”公眾擁護(hù)者威廉姆斯在集會(huì)的Prospect Park集會(huì)的啟動(dòng)地點(diǎn)說，“請(qǐng)停止競(jìng)選，回家吧。”

“Nineteen cyclists have died,” Williams said. “So many pedestrians have died. There are so many issues here in New York City that you have to deal with. Come back home. We have a lot of work to do.”

“已有19名自行車手死亡，”威廉姆斯說。“很多行人都死了。紐約還有很多問題需要你去處理。回家吧。我們有很多工作要做。”

De Blasio has been called out repeatedly for being AWOL while he desperately tries to qualify for the next round of debates in the Democratic presidential race. Last week, de Blasio “missing” posters even popped up in Midtown.

白思豪曾多次因擅離職守而被點(diǎn)名，當(dāng)時(shí)他正在拼命爭(zhēng)取參加民主黨總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選下一輪辯論的資格。上周，白思豪的“失蹤”海報(bào)甚至出現(xiàn)在市中心。

Meanwhile, cyclists are being killed at an alarming rate on city streets.

與此同時(shí)，騎車人在城市街道上以驚人的速度死亡。

At Sunday’s rally, riders pedaled their way to the Brooklyn intersection on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue L where Alzorriz was struck and killed two weeks ago in a grisly caught-on-video crash.

在周日的集會(huì)上，騎手們騎車前往康尼島大道和L大道上的布魯克林交叉路口，兩周前，阿爾佐里茲在一次可怕的車禍中被撞死。

Police said a teen driver allegedly blew through a red light and killed the 52-year-old Brooklyn cyclist while injuring a pedestrian.

警方表示，一名少年司機(jī)涉嫌闖紅燈，在撞傷一名行人的同時(shí)，撞死了52歲的阿爾佐里茲。

“We need to change the streets,” said Irene Hanna, 46, Alzorriz’s partner. “We need to change the idea that the motorist comes first. We need people who violate the law to understand the repercussions.”

“我們需要改變街道，”46歲的艾琳漢娜)說。“我們需要改變司機(jī)至上的觀念，我們需要觸犯法律的人明白后果是什么。”

Alzarriz was on his way home for a family brunch after a swim at Brighton Beach — his Sunday routine. He typically rode Ocean Parkway to get home, but opted for Coney Island Avenue that day.

阿爾佐里茲周日在布萊頓海灘游泳后，正準(zhǔn)備回家吃家庭早午餐。他通常騎海洋公園路回家，但那天選擇了康尼島大道。

He was a familiar figure in Brooklyn cycling circles, organizing riding groups in Prospect Park, participating in triathlons and teaching others how to ride.

他是布魯克林自行車圈里的一個(gè)公眾人物，在前景公園組織騎車團(tuán)體，參加鐵人三項(xiàng)賽，并教別人如何騎車。
