An Auckland bus driver was pulled out of her bus by three hooded men who punched and kicked her to the ground.

三名蒙面男子将一名女公车司机从车里拽出来，对她拳打脚踢，打倒在地。

Kick：踢；踹

FIRST Union transport organiser Emir Hodzi said the driver was driving her usual night route in Mangere on July 4 when the attack took place.

The woman had since seen her attackers and alerted the bus company to it.

工会（FIRST Union）交通组织负责人Emir Hodzi称，这起事件发生在7月4日，该名女司机值着夜班，一如往常地在Mangere地区开着平时的路线。这名女子后来看到了袭击者，并向公交公司报告了此事。

Take place：发生；举行

Alert：向…报警；使警觉；使警惕；使戒备

Hodzic said serious driver assaults occurred only a couple of times a year but the incidents highlighted the need to have more robust safety procedures.

Hodzic说，虽然严重的司机袭击事件每年只发生几次，但这些事件凸显了有必要建立更健全的安全程序。

Highlight：突出；强调；使显著；加亮

A FIRST Union survey in October showed more than half of bus drivers reported being abused or assaulted by passengers while on the job and noted the more minor assaults were often not reported.

根据10月份工会的一项调查显示，超过一半的公交车司机在上班时被乘客辱骂或袭击，并且更多的轻微袭击事件通常都没有被报告。

Abuse：滥用；虐待；辱骂

Hodzic said more needed to be done to keep drivers safe.

"We know they have panic buttons and some safety protocol, but we don't feel it goes far enough.

"Both bus companies at Auckland Transport actually have a responsibility here to get together and decide on how to increase security for bus drivers. It's also evident there's a lack of security staff at bus depots," he said.

Hodzic说，还需要采取更多措施来保证司机的安全。 “我们知道公车上有应急按钮和一些安全措施，但我们觉得这还不够。奥克兰交通局的两家公交公司实际上都有责任聚在一起，商讨决定如何提高公交车司机的安全性。显而易见的是，公交车站也缺乏保安人员。”

Panic button：紧急按钮

Protocol：议定书；礼仪；外交礼节；条约草案

bus depot：公共汽车站

"We would like to assist Auckland Council and bus companies in coming up with more detailed guidelines and for bus companies to be more proactive in responding to issues when they do arise. Accidents and assaults really affect drivers' mental health."

他表示，“我们希望帮助奥克兰市议会和巴士公司制定更详细的指导方针，让公车公司在出现问题时更积极地应对。事故和袭击确实会影响司机的心理健康。”

Come up with：提出；想出；赶上
