英文短篇故事（纽约）243 NYPD: Bike Tickets Galore

（单词翻译）

 　　More than a dozen policemen were at 6th Avenue¹ and 33rd Street. They were between JC Penney and Macy's. Most were on bicycles. Sixth Avenue is one-way north. A traffic light is at 33rd Street. Policemen were pulling over bicyclists by the handful². Jeremy asked a policeman, "What are you writing tickets for?" The policeman said, "The usual violations³. Running red lights. Riding against traffic. Riding on the sidewalk. Not having bells. Some bikers think the rules don't apply to them. We're giving them a wake-up call." Jeremy asked how much a ticket cost. The policeman told him. Jeremy said, "Well, $30 isn't too bad, is it?" The policeman said, "I didn't say $30. I said $130." As the policeman talked, Jeremy watched a biker riding past. He was very tall and was riding very slow. He rode south right past five policemen writing tickets. He disappeared down 6th Avenue.
