20070728 听写总结

 

City officials, however, defend the new rules, most of which will take effect in September. They note that past campaigns against drunk driving have been ineffective because they were not strictly enforced. This time, they say, police will enforce traffic laws, turn down bribe offers and, in general, support public safety.

然而市政官员为新法规辩护，该法规的大部分将在九月份生效。他们称过去的针对酒后驾车的运动效果不大主要是他们没有很严格的强制执行。他们说这次警察会严格执行交通法规，拒接贿赂，保护公共安全。

Monica Flores, a city resident who does not own a car, backs the new law. She says many drivers are irresponsible and they should obey laws in order to protect the public and themselves from accidents. She also believes the new effort to stop corruption will work, because the police, whom she describes as super-corrupt, will stop demanding bribes if citizens stop giving them.

MF 是一名没有汽车的市民，她支持新的法律。她称许多司机都不负责任，他们应该遵守法规以便保障公共和他们自己的安全以避免事故。她同样也相信新的反腐败努力会有成效，因为被她称作“超级腐败的”警察会因为市民不在行贿而停止要求贿赂。

Taxi driver Enrique, however, disagrees. He says the police will remain corrupt as long as they lack education and a decent salary. He says the government's failure to pay them adequately is partly to blame for the problem. He also blames the culture of corruption that has been part of life here for centuries.

的士司机 E 却不同意。他说只要警察缺乏教育和薪水微薄，他们会继续腐败下去。他同时称政府不能付给他们足够的薪水也是造成这一问题的部分原因。他同时还谴责了几个世纪以来渗入大家生活的腐败文化。

Police officers are not saying much about the new law, but spokesmen for the city police forces express optimism that it will work to reduce corruption and traffic accidents in the city.
