《中英對照讀新聞》Parking chief sacked for illegal parking監督停車違規的警察首長因違規停車被炒魷魚

羅彥傑

Rome’s mayor sacked the city’s traffic and parking chief after a newspaper reported he parked his car in a no parking zone and displayed a handicapped permit that belonged to an 86-year old woman.

羅馬市長開除市府負責交通暨停車違規事務的警察首長,因為有報紙報導說,他在禁止停車區域停車,而且擺出屬於86歲老太太所有的殘障停車證。

Catanzaro parked his red Alfa Romeo Brera in a towaway zone near the Spanish Steps in central Rome before heading off to a restaurant last week, Roman daily Il Messaggero reported, complete with pictures from the scene.

卡坦札羅上週在羅馬市中央「西班牙台階」附近的拖吊專區,停放自己的紅色愛快羅密歐Brera跑車,然後朝一家餐廳的方向走去,羅馬的信息報在報導中,還附上現場照片。

His car displayed a permit for disabled drivers that was no longer valid and initially issued to a senior citizen, the paper said, noting that officials almost never tow away a disabled person’s vehicle no matter where it is parked.

信息報說,他的車放了一張殘障車主專用的許可證,但已失效,而且原先是發給一名高齡人士;該報還特別提到,官員幾乎從未拖吊殘障人士座車,不論它停在何處。

A spokesman for Rome Mayor said Catanzaro had been removed from his post as head of the city’s municipal police force that oversees traffic and parking violations after the newspaper report.

羅馬市長的發言人說,在報紙報導後,卡坦札羅已被開革負責監督交通與停車違規的市政府警隊首長的職務。
