Sample Sentences
哎!你干嘛?这个是直行道,不是叫你左转弯吗?
Hey! What are you doing? This is a through lane. Didn't it tell you to turn left?
请直行,前方路口左转弯。
Please go straight ahead. At the intersection ahead turn left.
我当时骑助动车直行。要穿马路的时候,我仔细看过,绿灯刚变成黄灯,当时在我前面的车都过去了。我也加速冲过去,而且还一直按喇叭。没想到一辆奥迪右转,速度飞快。他根本没减速,反而是加速。我一点都来不及反应,就撞上去了。他这么快的车速,又是这么大的车,我一下子就连人带车摔到地上了。
I was riding my electric bike, going straight. When I needed to cross the street I looked carefully, and the green light had just turned yellow. The cars in front of me all went ahead. I also sped up to go through, and I was continuously blowing my horn. I never imagined an Audi would make a right turn, and at a blinding speed. He never slowed down -- he sped up. I had no time at all to react, and I ran into him. He was going so fast, and it was such a big car, that I was immediately thrown to the ground along with my bike.
我开到路口的时候是绿灯,不过我还是减速、打右转向灯。没想到,一辆助动车冲出来。她是直行,速度比较快。我马上刹车,可是还是撞了。我记得撞车的时候她没摔下来,但是等我下车,她就一屁股坐在地上,又哭又闹,说我把她撞伤了。明明是她闯红灯,违反交通规则,还要赖在我身上 。我当时转弯的时候速度只有二三十公里,根本不可能撞倒她。
When I drove up to the intersection the light was green, but I still slowed down, and put on my right turn blinker. I never thought an electric bike would come out of nowhere. She was going straight, at a rather high speed. I braked immediately, but I still hit her. I remember when I hit her bike she didn't fall off, but after I got out of my car, she set her butt right on the ground, crying and making a fuss, saying I injured her. She's clearly the one that ran a red light, breaking the law, and now she wants to pin it on me. At the time I was turning, my speed was only 20 or 30 kilometers per hour. There's no way I could have knocked her over.
