ICRT Lunch box - Stop honking your horn(停止按喇叭)

Stop honking your horn 發佈於 2019-11-06 @ http://bit.ly/2Q0RxhC 

Narrator: Hey! You! Get out of my way! Me first! 我先!
Whoa! That's not very nice, is it? All that beeping … 好吵喔!

Do you know the word "pollution"? There is air pollution or water pollution
… but there is also another kind of pollution we have in our cities every day: noise pollution!

Lots of cars and motorcycles beeping their horns are kinds of noise pollution.
Sometimes you have to beep your horn as a warning … for safety.
亂按喇叭,就變成噪音。

That's noise pollution.

In a country called Bangladesh, noise pollution from beeping cars and trucks and motorcycles is so bad, many people say they can't hear very well anymore.

Sometimes the traffic sounds in big cities in Bangladesh are as loud as a music concert … but "beep, beep, beep" is not music. 聽起來真的很煩!

One man in Bangladesh says he wants to stop all the beeping. So what does he do? He holds up a big sign near roads where there are a lot of beeping cars.

On the sign, it says "It's stupid to beep for no reason!"

The man hopes people will see the sign and think about noise pollution. He says many people send him messages or tell him that he's doing a good job.

The horn on a car or a motorcycle is for safety … one "beep" means, "Hey!

Maybe you didn't see me here!" Be careful! 喇叭按一下就好,意思是[小心]!

We shouldn't beep all the time just because we're tired or bored or there is a lot of traffic.

I hope more people around the world listen to the man in Bangladesh, and we don't like to hear loud beeps either. Let's save our ears! 救救我們的耳朵吧!
