壹苹派生活美语　行车有礼，礼让行人

　　One day, Henry was driving his car when he approached an intersection. He didn’t stop and give way to the pedestrian walking on the crosswalk. The pedestrian was shocked because he almost got hit due to Henry’s dangerous behavior. A police officer who happened to be standing nearby witnessed the incident. Since Henry’s action violated traffic laws, the police officer pulled him over and gave him a ticket. Later, after arriving at his destination, Henry pulled into a parking space and got out of his car.

　　有一天，亨利正开车驶近十字路口。他没有停下来礼让正在过斑马线的行人。这位行人吓了一跳，因为他差点因为亨利危险的行为而被撞。一名碰巧站在附近的警察目睹了这起事件。由于亨利的行为违反了交通规则，这名警察要求他停在路边并开给他一张罚单。后来，抵达目的地之后，亨利将车停在停车格并下了车。
