Caught red-handed

    抓个正着

    深圳警方周四公布消息，称13名港人因去年在深圳非法赛车被判缓刑、罚款以及禁止在大陆驾车两年。请看本报周五的报道：

    Thirteen Hong Kong men who were caught red-handed illegally racing cars on a Shenzhen expressway last year have been sentenced to terms ranging from one to five months in jail with a six-month reprieve for reckless driving, Shenzhen police said Thursday.

    This is the first case of group street racing to have ever been investigated in China. The crime carries a penalty of one to six months in jail.

    According to a verdict by the Bao'an District People's Court, the drivers were also fined between 20,000 (US$3,200) and 50,000 yuan, and banned from driving on the mainland for two years. They will remain eligible to drive in Hong Kong, where a separate legal system is used.

    报道中的caught red-handed就是“(干坏事)被当场抓获”，这个短语源自谋杀犯被抓获时手上还沾着鲜血，后来指一切被抓现行的行为。
