演播室访谈:处罚不足以阻止犯罪的道路
时间:2019-02-06 作者:英语课 分类:CCTV9英语新闻2013年12月
Monday is traffic safety day in China, a day established by the Ministry 1 of Public Security to raise awareness 2 of safe driving. Every year about 70,000 people die in traffic accidents in China, giving it the dubious 3 distinction of having world’s most dangerous roads. A number of factors contribute to the title, including a huge road network, poor road conditions, inadequate 4 driver training and outright 5 negligence 6 behind the wheel. On Monday, a district court in Beijing heard one such case involving illegal, late-night racing 7.
For more analysis, were joined on the phone by Professor Zhao Jian, from the School of Economic and Management of the Beijing Jiaotong University. Good evening, Professor Zhao.
1. People who took part in the survey blame others for road accidents... but they’re drivers as well, also guilty of this kind of behavior. Why are people aware of bad behavior yet continue to break the rules?
2. In the survey, some complain about the poor state of roads, others about the fine system. What can the government do to improve traffic conditions?
