Asian students have accused a bus driver of being 'racist' after he told them to 'speak English' after refusing to stop the bus. The frantic passengers, travelling on the 343 bus at Zetland in Sydney, were seen pushing the stop button repeatedly on a video posted to YouTube.

几个亚裔学生指控一位巴士司机是“种族主义者”，因为后者要他们“讲英语”并且拒绝停车。这几名在悉尼Zetland乘坐343路公交的乘客在YouTube视频中已经不停的按停车按钮。

frantic：狂乱的，疯狂的

repeatedly：反复地；再三地

The students initially pressed the button too early, and the bus driver was heard yelling 'get off', but when they didn't leave the bus, the trouble began.

这些学生最初按停车按钮按太早了，视频里公交司机在大喊“下车”，但当这些学生没有下车时，他们的麻烦来了。

initially：最初，首先

The bus operator claimed he did not hear the buzzer during the horror commute on Saturday night. 'Why can't we get off,' the students were heard saying before the bus driver responded 'because you didn't press the button'.

在周六晚的这趟惊魂旅程中，公交司机声称他没有听到按钮。“为什么我们不能下车？”学生们问道，然后公交司机回答：“因为你们没有按按钮。”

commute：通勤

In response, a woman was heard saying 'I pressed it, it doesn't work' to which the driver said: 'It's not my problem'. 'It's prolonged', a man was heard saying, before a woman said 'this stop, you can't do this'. The bus driver then told the students to 'speak English' and a woman was heard saying: 'Are you talking racist?'. The bus employee accused the students of not pushing the button and was heard saying 'the door is that way go’.

作为回应，一位女士说“我按了，它不起作用。”而司机说：“不关我的事。”有一位女士说：“这站太长了，你不能这样做。”公交司机于是直接跟学生说“讲英语”，一位女士说：“你i是在发表种族主义言论吗？”公交司机指责学生们没有按按钮，而且说“门在那边，快走”。

prolong：延长；拖延

Sydney Buses have suspended the driver and will be investigating the incident. State Transit chief executive officer Steffen Faurby said the behaviour would not be tolerated in the proud, culturally diverse organisation. 'The employee has been stood down without pay pending further investigation and explanation. The ­employee could face further disciplinary action.'

悉尼公交已经让这名司机停职，同时将就此事进行调查。新州交通局的主席Steffen Faurby表示作为因文化多元而自豪的组织，这种行为是不被容忍的。“这名员工现在无薪停职，等待进一步调查和解释。该员工可能面临更多纪律处分。”

tolerate：忍受；默许

stand down：退出；退职
