美國人固守成規  Americans stick to conventions
親愛的主席，88，Trillion, billion, Jackie告訴我 ，你們喜歡我的短文. 親親，只是喜歡沒有用啊，嘴巴說說，我也只能開心一會兒，it does not last long , 該有所表示啊，我一下子坐到地上開始蹬腿了，left, right, up and up, 臉朝天，大聲懇求「紅包呢？紅包拿來呀！」 嘿嘿，等著天上掉陷餅了. 今天警察又找我茬. 上次在居民區給我開罰單，說我在轉彎時，有停車信號我沒有仃. 事後同學媽媽說那邊是沒有停車信號的. 後來去看, 只有另一個方向有, 我的方向沒有. 你看警察有多可惡！這次也是的. 我本來想轉進一個小區，靠近走在自行車道上. 結果看見警車藏在小區一角，因為害怕躲避，所以沒有轉進去，回到原來的道上. 警察追出來，同時後面有車子開在自行車道上，並且在自行車道上追隨了警察好一陣子！警察權當沒看見，換到正常車道來追我，給我開罰單！我向他抗議說怎麼這麼不公平！你看我們動不動受罰就是這麼大的價錢，苛政猛於虎也，老百姓承受不起呀, 多給點生活費吧. 曾經有一次看見美國路易斯安那州受颶風災害，讓居民撤退. 高速路上出去的車道全部塞滿，動都動不了. 而另一反方向的車道幾乎沒有車子.當時就覺得美國人怎麼這麼呆板榆木腦袋不開竅. 應該象舊金山的金門大橋那樣，哪一個方向的流量大，就多給一點車道.颶風來的時候另一方向的四條車道可以把兩條讓出來，供災民出行. 因為等在路上時間不夠出不來, 這不就受災有生命危險嗎？美國人從小呆板慣了，而且美國的法律是粗線條的，不管現實是怎麼樣，法律是一成不變的.有的時候非常荒謬的！就象災民出行，明明有一半的資源可以利用, 卻寧願空閑著的. 美國的大多數中小學, 校門口接送孩子都是有問題的. 因為只有短短不到50米的車道, 供一輛車子接送孩子，算一下每輛車需要的時間以及等待時間，後面一定會排起長龍的.那所在的那條街就一定會有阻塞. 我以前接送Jackie，基本上要麼一刻鐘之前離開家，或者學校放學的時候離開家，這樣子就可以避免長時等待車隊里，就可以在學校周圍小路上有機會找到一個車位．

Dear Chairman, 88, Trillion and Billion, Jackie told me that you like my essay. Dear,  just like it, it  is useless. You just talk about it, only makes me happy for a while, it does not last long. You should show solid appreciation.  Ah, I sat on the ground all at once and started kicking my legs, left, right, up and up, face up, and begged loudly, "What about the red envelope? Where comes the red envelope?" Hey, waiting for  the cake falling from the sky. Today, the police asked me for trouble again. Last time, I was issued a ticket in a residential area, saying that when I was turning, there was a Stop Sign, and I didn』t stop. Afterwards, Jackie 』s classmate 』s mother said there was no stop signal over there. There is only Stop Sign on another direction, no on my direction. You see how abhorrent the police is! This time it is the same thing. I originally wanted to turn into a community and  close to the bicycle lane. I saw the police car hidden in the corner of the community entrance. Because I was afraid of avoiding it, I didn』t turn in and went back to the original lane. The police chased out and there was a car behind driving on the bike lane and followed the police for a while! When the police didn't see it, he switched to the normal lane to chase me and gave me a ticket! I protested to him why it was so unfair! You see, we are punished at such a high price. The government is more fierce than the tiger. The people can』t afford it. Give them more living expenses. Once, I saw a Louisiana hurricane that caused residents to retreat. The driveway out on the highway were all crowded and cars couldn』t move. The other lane in the opposite direction had almost no cars. At that time, I felt that Americans are so rigid. The elm has no head. It should be like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, giving more lanes out. When the hurricane comes, two lanes in the other direction can give  for the people to travel out. Because there is not enough time to wait on the road, you can't get out. Isn't it a disaster and life-threatening? Americans are used to being stupid since childhood, and the laws of the United States are rigid. No matter what the reality is, the laws are static. Sometimes they are very ridiculous! Just as the people escape, obviously half of the resources can be used, but they would rather be idle. Most primary and secondary schools in the United States have problems with picking up and dropping off children at the school gate. Because there are only less than 50 meters of lanes for one car picking up the children by car. Calculate the time and waiting time for each car, there will be long queues behind. The street where the school  is will be blocked. I used to pick up Jackie, and basically either left home 15 minutes ago, or left home when school was over, so I could avoid waiting in the convoy for a long time, and I could find a parking space on the road around the school.
