Traffic Safety

Traffic safety is everybody's business. Records show
that every year a lot of people die in traffic accidents. Some of the accidents are due to mechanical prob lems.
However, most of them are the results of careless and
reckless driving, and could be avoided. A lot of people
disregard traffic signals and rules. They driv e
regardless of speed limits, run through red lights,
drive in the wrong directio n, talk and laugh while
driving, and turn as they wish without giving signals.
Th ey don't slow down while approaching crossroads. So
many people violate traffic regulations that we cannot
put too much emphasis on the importance of traffic safe
ty. Only when everybody thinks traffic safety is
everybody's business can we be s afe driving on roads
and walking on sidewalks.

译文：交通安全

交通安全人人有责。纪录显示每年有许多人死于车祸。有些车祸是由于机械问题。然而大部 分车祸都是疏忽而卤莽驾驶的结果，并且可以避免的。许多人无视于交通号志和规则。他们驾 驶时不管车速、闯红灯、逆向行驶、开车时交谈，并且不打灯号就任意转弯。他们接近十字路 口时不减速。如此多的人违犯交通规则以致于我们再怎么样强调交通安全的重要性也不为过。 唯有当每个人皆认为交通安全是众人的事时，我们在路上开车、在行人道上走路才安全。
