孟买警方安装的这个新系统被称为“惩罚式信号灯”,用以解决“不耐烦的鸣笛者”的问题。在新的信号灯系统下,每当汽车喇叭声超过85分贝时,红色交通信号灯就会被重置。对于特别喜欢按喇叭的司机来说,这可能意味着在红绿灯前要等很长时间。
In a video, which has since gone viral, Mumbai police explained why they had been driven to tackle Mumbai’s cacophony of car horns.
在一段广为流传的视频中,孟买警方解释了他们处理孟买汽车喇叭声的原因。
cacophony [kəˈkɒfəni]:n.刺耳的音调;不和谐音
“Welcome to the honking capital of the world,” said Mumbai police. “People here honk even when the signal is red. Maybe they think they will turn the signal green faster. We, the Mumbai police, were itching to do something about this.”
孟买警方称:“欢迎来到世界鸣笛之都。即使是红灯,这里的人也会按汽车喇叭。也许他们认为可以更快地把信号灯转为绿灯。作为孟买警方,我们一直想要解决这个问题。”
Mumbai was recently ranked as the fourth most congested city in the world, according to the TomTom traffic index, with 65% congestion and drivers spending an average of eight days and 17 hours in traffic each year.
