有沒(méi)有哪些交通規(guī)則是你希望能改變的

今天的這段對(duì)話(huà)，在討論駕駛，
 
交通規(guī)則有很多調(diào)，有沒(méi)有哪些交通規(guī)則是你希望能改變的
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: OK, Nathan. So we're talking about driving and are there any rules or regulations that you'd like to change?
 
內(nèi)森，我們來(lái)談?wù)勸{駛，有沒(méi)有哪些交通規(guī)則是你希望能改變的？
 
B: You know what, Jules, that an interesting question. I'm not sure that I want to change rules but I'd like the police to be stricter on the rules. Like if people jump the traffic lights, I don't know why there isn't a camera at every set of traffic lights just to stop people from doing that, you know. Or like speeding. It's very, very easy to put speed cameras in places but people seem to think that it's OK like the speed limit is the minimum speed.
 
這是一個(gè)有趣的問(wèn)題。我不確定我是不是想改變規(guī)則，不過(guò)我希望警察能更嚴(yán)格執(zhí)法。有人會(huì)闖紅燈，可是我不知道為什么不在每個(gè)交通燈裝一個(gè)攝像頭，阻止人們闖紅燈，或者阻止人們超速。安裝超速監(jiān)控?cái)z像機(jī)是件非常簡(jiǎn)單的事情，可是看起來(lái)人們認(rèn)為這沒(méi)什么問(wèn)題，因?yàn)檐?chē)速限制是最低車(chē)速。
 
A: Maybe the car manufacturers should have some responsibility then in maybe limiting their engine. What's the point in producing an engine that's big enough and powerful enough that you can go like two hundred kilometres an hour when the speed limits are only...have you ever driven in Germany where they don't have speed limits?
 
也許汽車(chē)制造商應(yīng)該在引擎限制方面應(yīng)該承擔(dān)部分責(zé)任。為什么要制造車(chē)速可達(dá)到200公里每小時(shí)的強(qiáng)力引擎，而限速只有……德國(guó)沒(méi)有限速，你有在德國(guó)開(kāi)過(guò)車(chē)嗎？
 
B: I've been to Germany and been a passenger in a car but not driven, no.
 
我去過(guò)德國(guó)，也在德國(guó)坐過(guò)車(chē)，不過(guò)我沒(méi)有在德國(guó)開(kāi)過(guò)車(chē)。
 
A: I've been a passenger on the autobahns. I really enjoyed it actually.
 
我坐車(chē)上過(guò)高速公路。我非常享受那種感覺(jué)。
 
B: Yeah. Is that because you're a speed demon — adrenaline freak?
 
嗯。是因?yàn)槟闶撬俣瓤袢藛幔阆矚g那種興奮的快感？
 
A: I like the freedom.
 
我喜歡那種自由。
 
B: Right.
 
好。
 
A: And I think it takes away a lot of the road rage element.
 
我認(rèn)為這可以減少路怒。
 
B: Right.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: I think people do drive responsibly. Often people break laws simply because the laws are there, you know. If the law isn't there, people drive within their ability range so the autobahns they're, as far as I know, I think they have a high safety rate.
 
我認(rèn)為人們?cè)陂_(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)是負(fù)責(zé)任的。因?yàn)橛幸?guī)則的存在所以才會(huì)有違反規(guī)則的事情出現(xiàn)。如果沒(méi)有規(guī)則，人們?cè)谀芰Ψ秶鷥?nèi)駕駛，據(jù)我所知，高速公路的安全程度是很高的。
 
B: Oh really?
 
哦，真的嗎？
 
A: Yeah, they have less accidents because when you've got speed limits this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.
 
對(duì)，高速公路很少發(fā)生事故，因?yàn)橄匏俜炊沟缆飞系奈ｋU(xiǎn)情況增加。
 
B: Do those people then maybe I guess in Germany they maybe have better education about self responsibility when driving maybe?
 
德國(guó)人是不是在駕駛責(zé)任上受到了更好的教育？
 
A: Possibly. They also have very good cars, very safe cars.
 
可能吧。他們的車(chē)也更好，更安全。
 
B: Right.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: And you know if you've got like a Porsche or something that can go at that speed then it's so nice to be able to do that.
 
你知道，如果開(kāi)像保時(shí)捷這樣能達(dá)到高速的車(chē)，那是很棒的。
 
B: Use it properly?
 
駕駛得當(dāng)？
 
A: Yeah, and safely because you know there's not going to be somebody in that outside lane obeying the speed limit to the letter who's going to present a danger to you. You're free, you can go at the speed you want. If there's people that want to drive slow, they have a lane that they can drive more slowly in.
 
對(duì)，安全駕駛，因?yàn)椴粫?huì)有嚴(yán)格遵守限速規(guī)則的人在外車(chē)道對(duì)你造成危險(xiǎn)。你很自由，你可以想開(kāi)多快開(kāi)多快。如果有人想開(kāi)慢點(diǎn)，可以設(shè)置一條慢速駕駛車(chē)道。
 
B: Yeah.
 
好。
 
A: So it kind of balances out. I think it's the restrictions that create the danger sometimes, based on the autobahns.
 
這樣就可以做到平衡。我認(rèn)為從高速公路的情況來(lái)看，有時(shí)制造危險(xiǎn)的就是那些限制條件。
 
B: OK.
 
好。
 
A: Obviously driving through a residential area or where there's a school you've got to have, but I think those things we have in the UK, those speed policemen.
 
當(dāng)然在駕駛經(jīng)過(guò)居民區(qū)和學(xué)校時(shí)要有一定的限制，我想英國(guó)有那種限速警察。
 
B: Speed bumps.
 
減速帶。
 
A: Those speed bumps that force you to slow down, I think they're a good idea and perhaps the way to go.
 
這些減速帶強(qiáng)制你減速，我認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)好方法，可以采取這種形式。
 
B: To go, so you don't think fining people is useful?
 
那你不認(rèn)為罰款很有效嗎？
 
A: Not really, no, because that relies on the police time and the police don't have time to police every single driver all the time and do that.
 
我認(rèn)為那不太有用，因?yàn)檫@要依靠警察的時(shí)間，可是警察并沒(méi)有時(shí)間一直監(jiān)督所有司機(jī)、對(duì)違規(guī)行為進(jìn)行罰款。
