Lifelong Ambition | 毕生愿望

English Original

In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer a ticket for driving through a red light.

She explained to the judge that she was a school teacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case so she could hurry back to her classes.

A wild gleam came into the judge's eye. "You are a school teacher, eh?" he said. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write 'I went through a red light' five hundred times."


中文翻译

在中西部一个大城市的交通法庭里,一位年轻女士被带到法官面前,因开车闯红灯而接受罚单问询。

她向法官解释,自己是一名学校老师,请求法官立即处理她的案子,以便她能赶回去上课。

法官眼中闪过一丝狡黠的光芒,说道:“你是学校的老师,是吗?女士,我马上要实现我毕生的愿望了。在那张桌子旁坐下,把‘我开车闯了红灯’这句话写五百遍。”
