Você sabe como se diz pagar multa em inglês? Uma curiosidade: falamos a palavra FINE para multa. Isso mesmo! Pagar multa é FINE. Leia esta diálogo e depois veja o vídeo abaixo. Uma situação onde um estrangeiro atravessa a rua fora da faixa de pedestres. Ele recebe uma multa, mas a policial o perdoa desta vez.

Police woman: Excuse me, sir. I noticed you crossed the street outside of the crosswalk, which is against the law. You’re required to pay a fine of $10 for this offense.

Tourist: Oh, I’m sorry, officer. I didn’t know about that law. I’m a foreigner, and the rules here are different from where I come from.

Police woman: I understand that, but it’s essential to be aware of local traffic regulations when you’re in a new place. Ignorance of the law isn’t typically an excuse, but I’ll let you off with a warning this time since you’re a tourist. Please use the crosswalks in the future to stay safe.

Tourist: Thank you, officer. I appreciate your understanding, and I’ll make sure to follow the rules from now on.

Police woman: You’re welcome. Have a great day, and stay safe!
