It was a little before 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon, the uptown #4 Lexington Avenue train, was pulling into the Fulton Street Station in lower Manhattan. And that’s when a subway rider said he could not believe what he was seeing – at the controls in the train’s cab, what appeared to be, an 8 year old boy.”

这事发生在星期六下午三点前面一点点的时间，开往非商业区的Lexington大街的4号线地铁正在徐徐驶进为于曼哈顿下城区的Fulton街地铁站。就是在这个时候，一个地铁乘客说他简直不敢相信他所看到的情景——在火车的驾驶室里的一个看上去象8岁的小男孩。

“Amazing, you would think, again, the operator, and the…, the amount of…, the life at stake, to let an eight year old kid, do that. What was…, what were they thinking?”

“简直难以置信，你会认为，这个驾驶员，和这么多生命攸关的事情，让一个8岁的孩子去操作，他们到底在想什么？”

“Considering the fact the other things I have seen, I guess it’s not totally crazy. I would assume there was someone else sitting there with him, I would like to think”

“考虑到我所见到过的别的事情，我猜（对于纽约地铁来说）这也不是完全疯狂的事情。我愿假设可能有其它的人跟他一起坐在那儿。或者说我希望是这样的。”

According to the passenger who made the report, the train operator wasn’t in the cab. New York City Transit is investigating. A spokesperson said agency policy is clear. “Rule 11J states: train operators and conductors must not allow any person to ride in their operating cab without a written order from the Chief Transporting Officer.”

根据那个举报的乘客，地铁的驾驶员并不在驾驶室里。纽约城市运输当局正在进行有关的调查。一个发言人说该机构的政策是清楚的。“规章的第11J条规定：没有来自最高运输官的书面命令，火车驾驶员和售票员绝对不能允许任何人在他们的驾驶室乘车。”

“It was just two weeks ago the transit authority sent out this bulletin to all of its operators, reminding them about rule 11J, that after someone reported seeing a passenger in the cab along the Long Island Railroad Train.”

“仅仅二周之前，在有人举报看到有乘客在长岛铁路线上的列车驾驶室里以后，运输当局对所有驾驶员发出了这个公告，提醒他们注意关于规章的11J条的规定。”

Transit investigators have tracked down the operator and conductor on Sunday’s Woodland 1434. And they both have been taken off the train while the investigation moves forward.

运输当局的调查人员已经追踪到了星期天的Woodland 1434地铁班次的驾驶员和售票员。在调查继续进行的同时，他们都已被调离了列车的岗位。
