Unit 19 Old Drivers
第19单元 老司机
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car. Neither could they see over the dashboard.
两个上了年纪的妇人开着一辆大车上路，两个人的高度都只到仪表板。
As they were cruising along they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on through.
她们开着车兜风，不久便来到一个十字路口；交通标志闪的是红灯，可是她们就这样闯了过去。
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself,"I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light."
坐在乘客座上那个妇人心想：“虽然没看清楚，但是我敢发誓刚才闯了红灯。”
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again and again they went right through.
过了几分钟，她们又来到另一个十字路口，交通标志一样闪着红灯，她们还是一样闯了过去。
This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it.
这回乘客座上的妇人几乎可以肯定刚才是红灯，但还是很担心是自己看错了。
She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection to see what was going on.
她很紧张，决定专心看路，看看下个十字路口到底会发生什么事。
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through.
到了下个十字路口，交通标志的的确确闪的是红灯，她们又闯了过去。
She turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred,did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row! You could have killed us."
她转身对另一名妇人说道：“蜜德莉，你知道我们刚连续闯了三个红灯吗？你这样开车会把我们两个害死的。”
Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh shit, am I driving?"
蜜德莉转身对她说：“哦，该死，开车的是我吗？”
