36 The colors of the lights
36 交通燈的顏色
Ms Green was 80, but she had a small car. And she always drove to the shop on Saturday, and bought her food， including rice, flour, her favourite cookies and butter, etc. She did not drive fast because of her age, but she drove well and never hit anything. Sometimes her grandchildren said to her: "Please don't drive your car, grandmother. We can take you to the shops."
格林太太八十歲了，但她有一輛小轎車，且每逢星期六她總是開著這輛車去購買食品，包括大米，面粉，她最愛的餅干以及黃油等。因為年紀大了，格林太太車子開得太快，不過她開車技術很好，從未撞到過什么東西。有時她的孫子孫女對她說：“奶奶，您別開車了，我們可以送您去商店?！?/p>
But the very independent old lady always said: "No,I like driving. I've driven for 50 years and I'm not going to stop now."
但這位非常獨立的老太太總是說：“不，我喜歡開車。我已經開了50年了，現在我還不想撒手?！?/div>
Last Saturday after having her tank filled with 7 liters of petrol at a gas station, she drove to the Green Grocery for some pineapples and grapes. She braked the car at the crossroad because the lights turned red, and then it could not start again. The lights were green, then yellow, then red, then green again. But her car just could not start.
上星期六，她在加油站加了7公升的汽油后，就開車去水果店買菠蘿和葡萄。她看見交通燈是紅色就在路口剎住了車，后來車子熄火了。交通燈由綠色轉為黃色，然后轉為紅色，又轉變為綠色，可她的車子還是發動不起來。
"What am I going to do now?" She said.
“現在我該怎么辦呢？”
But then a policeman came to her, and she was amused by his words: "Good morning, don't you like any of our colors today?"
這時一位警察走過來，老太太被他的話逗樂了：“早上好，今天交通燈的顏色沒有一樣您喜歡的嗎？”
