Drive短語盤點(diǎn)

很多人喜歡開車，但是開車帶來的麻煩也不少，比如上下班高峰期的交通擁堵(traffic jam)、路上遇著的老想超車的road hog(駕車亂搶路的人)、搭你車的back seat driver(愛指點(diǎn)司機(jī)該怎么開的人)等都很讓人抓狂。我們來看看英語里怎么描述這些煩心事吧!

Many cities are clogged by traffic jams so it is no surprise that road rage is becoming a real problem.

很多城市都有交通擁堵的問題，所以“路怒癥”現(xiàn)在越來越普遍也就不足為奇了。

我的一個(gè)朋友是一個(gè)很惹人厭的“后座司機(jī)”，他總是在后座指手畫腳，告訴你該怎么開車。他的指點(diǎn)真讓我抓狂。

I like to be in the driving seat and if a back seat driver annoys me too much, I turn round and say: "What are you driving at? You are driving me up the wall with all your stupid remarks!"

我喜歡掌控一切，所以如果有人在后座不同地指手畫腳時(shí)，我就會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)過頭去說：“你到底想干嘛?!你那些愚蠢的指指點(diǎn)點(diǎn)快把我逼瘋了!”
