地道美語聽力播客676: 開過測速區(qū)（雙語）

Angel: Why are you driving at a snail’s pace?

安杰：你為什么開的就跟蝸牛一樣?

Georgina: This is an infamous speed trap. I don’t want to get a ticket – again.

喬治亞：這是臭名遠播的限速區(qū)，我不想再吃罰單了。

Angel: I don’t see any squad cars along the road. Are you sure this is the right stretch of road?

安杰：一路上沒有看到警察巡邏車啊。你肯定這是限速的路段?

Georgina: I’m sure. Those cops are crafty. They hide out behind big rocks or a bend in the road, and as soon as you let your guard down and go over the speed limit, they nab you.

喬治亞：我確定，警察很狡猾。他們藏在大石頭后面或者道路拐彎處，只要你警戒心一松懈，超速行駛，他們就會抓住你。

Angel: But you’re not exceeding the speed limit. In fact, you’re driving way under the speed limit.

安杰：但是你的速度沒有超過限速啊。實際上，你開的速度在限速的范圍內(nèi)。

Georgina: You can’t be too careful. You never know if those speed guns are accurate, and I don’t want there to be any doubt that I’m being a law-abiding citizen.

喬治亞：還是小心為上，你不知道這些測速器是否準確，我不想有任何的疑問懷疑我是個守法公民。

Angel: But at this pace, we could get home faster if we walked!

安杰：但是以這樣的速度，如果步行也會比這快!

Georgina: Don’t exaggerate. You might be able to run home faster, but not walk.

喬治亞：別說的太夸張了，要想更快點到家，你應(yīng)該跑步而不是步行。
