（单词翻译）

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

　　Georgina: This is an infamous1 speed trap. I don’t want to get a ticket – again.
　　Angel: I don’t see any squad2 cars along the road. Are you sure this is the right stretch of road?
　　Georgina: I’m sure. Those cops are crafty3. 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.
　　Angel: But you’re not exceeding the speed limit. In fact, you’re driving way under the speed limit.
　　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.
　　Angel: But at this pace, we could get home faster if we walked!
　　Georgina: Don’t exaggerate. You might be able to run home faster, but not walk.
　　Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
