News Report One
A police officer in the U.S. stopped a large SUV car that was going very slowly and drifting across lanes on a highway. [ 1 ] He expected to find the driver who was either very drunk or having a medical emergency. Instead, the officer discovered a five-year-old boy sat on the edge of the driver’s seat. His feet could barely reach the brake, and his head was only just high enough to see out of the windows. The child had taken the keys to the family car, while his teenage sister was napping. He then drove three kilometers across town before getting on the highway. [ 2 ] The boy later told confused officers that he was planning to travel to California and buy a Lamborghini sports car. Although he only had $3 in his wallet, at least he was driving in the right direction.
新闻一
美国一名警官拦下了一辆大型 suv, 这辆汽车行驶速度非常慢，而且在公路上横穿车道。
[ 1 ] 他本以为会发现司机要么喝得酩酊大醉，要么需要急救。然而，警官却发现一名五岁的男孩坐在驾驶座的边缘。他的脚几乎够不到刹车，他的头刚好能看到窗外。这个孩子趁十几岁的姐姐打瞌睡时拿走了这辆家庭用车的钥匙。之后，他开车穿过小镇三公里后上了公路。
[ 2 ] 后来这个男孩告诉困惑的警官，他打算去加利福尼亚买一辆兰博基尼跑车。虽然他钱包里只有三美元，但至少他开车的方向是正确的。
