There is a truth universally acknowledged by drivers in India: honk your horn loud enough and the traffic lights will surely change to green.
在印度,司机们普遍认为:只要你喇叭按得足够响,交通灯就一定会变成绿灯。
But, fed up of impatient drivers inflicting a deafening roar every time they are forced to stop, police in Mumbai have come up with a new system to punish those who cannot wait at traffic lights in silence.
但是,孟买警方受够了不耐烦的司机每次被迫停车时制造的震耳欲聋的喇叭声,因而打造了一个新系统来惩罚那些不能在红绿灯前安静等待的人。
The new system, said the police, was quite simple: "Honk more, wait more."
警方表示,新系统非常简单:“按喇叭次数越多,等待时间越长。”
Known as "the punishing signal", Mumbai police installed a rigged traffic light system to tackle the problem of "reckless honkers", which resets the red traffic signal every time the sound of car horns goes above 85 decibels. For particularly honk-happy drivers, it could mean a very long wait at the lights.
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。
