Good morning. The UK government yesterday backed(支持,赞成) Ofcom to take “tough action” against social media companies that fail to remove posts celebrating dangerous driving, in response to a series of unsafe, and sometimes deadly, viral(病毒式的,疯传的) trends. Young men are filming themselves driving the wrong way down busy streets, accelerating to extreme speeds on narrow rural roads and putting a vehicle in “ghost mode(幽灵模式(关闭车灯行驶))” – switching off headlights and taillights at night – for clicks and kudos(赞誉,荣誉).
早上好。英国政府昨日支持英国通信管理局对未能删除庆祝危险驾驶帖子的社交媒体公司采取“强硬行动”,以回应一系列不安全甚至致命的病毒式趋势。年轻男性拍摄自己逆行于繁忙街道、在狭窄乡村道路上加速至极限速度,以及将车辆置于“幽灵模式”——夜间关闭前灯和尾灯——以获取点击量和赞誉。
Andy Burnham labelled(将…称为,给…贴标签) people who share such content as “truly reprehensible(应受谴责的)” after two police officers died in a head on collision(正面相撞) in the early hours of Saturday morning near Middlesbrough. Their vehicle crashed into a car driving the wrong way down the A66. Five young men aged between 17 and 23 were inside, all of whom died too. The previous weekend, a family of four were seriously injured in a night-time collision(碰撞,相撞) with a car driving the wrong way(逆行) along the M9 in County Kildare, Ireland. All five teenage boys in that car also died.
在两名警察于周六凌晨在米德尔斯堡附近的一场正面碰撞中丧生后,安迪·伯纳姆称分享此类内容的人“真正应受谴责”。他们的车辆与一辆在A66公路上逆行的汽车相撞。车内有五名年龄在17至23岁之间的年轻男子,他们也全部遇难。前一个周末,一个四口之家在爱尔兰基尔代尔郡的M9公路上与一辆逆行汽车夜间相撞,严重受伤。那辆车上的五名青少年男孩也全部死亡。
These are extreme examples of a devastating and far more quotidian(日常的,普通的) phenomenon: the deaths of young lads(小伙子,少年) in cars on our roads. For today’s First Edition I spoke to Crystal Owen, whose 17-year-old son Harvey died in a car crash in 2023, about what makes young men so vulnerable on the roads and how a single simple reform might change things.(在今天的《第一版》中,我采访了克里斯托·欧文,她17岁的儿子哈维于2023年在一场车祸中丧生,谈论是什么让年轻男性在道路上如此脆弱,以及一个简单的改革如何可能改变现状。) Before that, the headlines.
这些是一个毁灭性且更为普遍现象的极端例子:年轻小伙子在我们的道路上死于汽车事故。在今天的《第一版》中,我采访了克里斯托·欧文,她17岁的儿子哈维于2023年在一场车祸中丧生,谈论是什么让年轻男性在道路上如此脆弱,以及一个简单的改革如何可能改变现状。在此之前,先看头条新闻。
