C Oversættelse

Hej,

Jeg skal lave C oversættelse i 'Engelsk Grammatik' på side 23.

På politistationen i Minneapolis, Minnesota, udspørger en politibetjent Linda Jackson. Dagen før er hun blevet ramt af en bil på hovedgaden uden at blive alvorligt skadet; bilens fører, kørelærer Tom Brown, er også tilstede:

Betjenten: "Hvor kom De fra?"

LJ: "Jeg var på vej hjem fra biblioteket, da jeg ville undgå en varevogn, der var ved at parkere."

Betjenten: "Gjorde det Dem nervøs?"

LJ: "Nej, men jeg måtte forlade cykelbanen, der forresten er dårligt afmærket. Det irriterer mig, at bilisterne altid drejer ind i min bane."

TB: "Jeg kunne desværre ikke undgå at at ramme cyklisten, selvom jeg gjorde mit bedste. Heldigvis beskadigede jeg ikke Linda Jackson alvorligt."

LJ: "Jeg kan ikke lide biler. De støjer og forurener. Trafikken er også alt for voldsom på hovedgaden. Den må laves om, synes De ikke?"

TB: " Jo, det må det. Det er alt for farligt. Tænk engang på de mange skolebørn, der ikke tør gå over gaden, hvor der ikke er et trafiklys. Men jeg mener alligevel, bilen er det bedste transportmiddel, vi har. Men biler interesserer Dem nok ikke, vel?"

De prøvede virkelig at nå til enighed, men det lykkedes ikke for dem.

At the police station in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a police officer is questioning Linda Jackson.
The day before, she was hit by a car at the main street, without ___ ; the driver of the car, driving teacher Tom Brown, is also present:

Officer: “Where did you come from?”

LJ: “I was on my way home from the library, when I tried to escape a van, which was parking.”

Officer: “Did it make you nervous?”

LJ: “No, but I had to leave the cycle lane, which, by the way, is bad marked. It irritates me, how car drivers always turn into my lane.”

TB: “Unfortunately I could not avoid hitting the cyclist, even though I did my best. Luckily I did not injure Linda Jackson seriously.”

LJ: “I do not like cars. They are noisy and they pollute. The traffic is way too heavy on the main street. It must be redone, don’t you think so?”

TB: “Yes, it must. It is too dangerous. Think about the many pupils, who do not dare to cross that street, if there is no traffic light. But I still think, a car is the best vehicle we have got. But I guess cars are not of your interest, right?”

They really tried to agree, but they did not manage to do it.
