Intermediate - Stop speeding! (C0137)

你知道吗，你是个很糟糕的司机。你总是开得太快，而且很粗心。
nǐ zhīdao ma ，nǐ shì ge hěn zāogāo de sījī 。nǐ zǒngshì kāi de tài kuài ，érqiě hěn cūxīn 。
You know, you are a really terrible driver. You always drive too fast and are very careless.

不对。我是个负责任的司机。我很注意交通规则。我从来没收到过罚单。
bù duì 。wǒ shì ge fùzérén fù de sījī 。wǒ hěn zhùyì jiāotōng guīzé 。wǒ cónglái méi shōudào guò fádān 。
That’s not true. I’m a responsible driver. I really pay attention to traffic rules. I’ve never received a fine.

胡说！你去年因为超速收到了三张罚单。你甚至因为闯红灯收到过一张罚单。
nǐ qùnián yīnwèi chāosù shōudào le sān zhāng fádān 。nǐ shènzhì yīnwèi chuǎng hóngdēng shōudào guò yīzhāng fádān 。
Not true! You got three tickets last year for speeding. You even got a ticket for running a red light.

那时灯还没变红。刚刚变黄。警察搞错了。
nàshí dēng hái méi biàn hóng 。gānggang biàn huáng 。jǐngchá gǎocuò le 。
That time, the light hadn’t really turned red. It had just turned yellow. The policeman made a mistake.
