24 五百遍
In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady in a blouse was brought before the judge in charge to answer a ticket given to her for driving through a red light.
在中西部一個大城市的交通法庭里,一位身穿襯衫的年輕女士被帶到主法官面前,她由于開車闖紅燈被開了罰單。
She explained to his honor that she was a schoolteacher, and requested an immediate disposal of her case in order that she might hasten on to her classes.
女士向法官解釋說,她是一名學校老師,請求法官馬上處理她的案子,以便可以快點回去上課。
A wild gleam flashed in the judge's eye, “You're a school teacher, eh?” he said, “Madam, I shall achieve my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that conference table and write ‘I went through a red light' five hundred times.”
法官眼中閃過一絲狡黠,說道:“你是學校的老師,對嗎?女士,我馬上要實現今生的愿望了。在那張會議桌旁坐下,寫‘我開車闖了紅燈’500遍。”
