[HSK 3] 马路上不能“暴走”了 - No More 'Power Walking' on the Road

《English Translation》

小宝: Big brother, look! There are so many people up ahead wearing the same clothes and shouting slogans while they walk!
小刚: That's a 'power-walking group.' They walk together for exercise.
小宝: Why do the cars keep honking?
小刚: Because they're walking in the traffic lane, so the cars can't get through.
小宝: Then why don't they walk in the park?
小刚: Exactly. The park is right next to them. I saw on the news that the country is going to revise the traffic law, and in the future people won't be allowed to occupy roads for activities like this.
小宝: What will happen after the law changes?
小刚: If the police see them, they'll come and tell them to move to a park or sports field. Cars use the road, and people use the sidewalk.
小宝: I understand. Big brother, let's go home quickly. I'm a little scared.
小刚: Okay. Hold my hand. We'll walk on the sidewalk. Don't be afraid.
