Section 6
警察局 Police Station

我们经常从好莱坞大片中看见FBI的身影,可实际上美国的警察局是地方的,是地方执法部门,它并不归美国联邦政府管,因此地方警察局的权限主要是维护地方治安。当然警察局这个地方也没什么可怕的。如果有必要,还可以带小孩子进去参观,以了解更多的安全知识。

quite a few 不少,相当多

文化穿越

在美国,警察其实不太受人民喜爱。因为任何事件警察都需要走审查程序,一个程序走下来会很久,因此,一般性事件美国人是不报警的。对于留美的学生来说,手机里需要有三个号码,一个是美国最亲近朋友的号码,一个是警察局号码,最后一个是大使馆或领事馆号码(大城市)。出入警察局的人除了罪犯外,其他的多是被贴了罚单的百姓,他们需要按时交罚金。除此之外,一般学校内会有警察局驻点,晚上警车会在学校周边巡逻,如果很晚在学校里溜达,有可能会被警察检查证件,因此学校ID要随身携带。 wIWFPxYEyoat6sJ0Ga82kgzkUdaPQWZKtTkPO3IMP/fvjTRnmqVremksKAAY0z5L
