一席英语·脱口秀:老外来了

在法国,“路怒症”通常因为----前车不让道!

01 Nov 2023

Description

主播:梅莉 | Wendi歌曲 : Stuck On You*更多节目配乐,请在“网易云音乐”搜索“一席英语-老外来了歌单”。主播梅莉在法国住的时候,感觉法国的driving rules are quite strict(交通法规相当严格),而且有很多的roundabouts(环岛路),所以觉得在法国开车会很难。等她回到中国后,她发现了中国和法国在开车上的很大差异。今天,我们聊一聊,中国和法国开车的5大不同。1. 中法开车差异一:Honking(按喇叭)在法国,the honk is for emergencies(一般是在紧急的情况下司机会按喇叭),或者是just want to be rude or you need to react to a really rude driver(只是用按喇叭的方式提醒the rude driver,更多是一种回应)。而在中国,horn更像是your warning signal to the other cars and pedestrians(给其他车和行人的一个警告或者提示信号)。梅莉分享说,她在上海的时候注意到,scooter’s and car’s honk(摩托车和汽车的喇叭)只是想let you know they are coming in case you didn’t see them(提醒你车来了,小心点)。2. 中法开车差异二:the road rage(路怒症)The road rage在法国是挺常见的。如果一辆车does not let the priority to another car(没给后面的车让路),或者是does something they are not supposed to(做了不该做的事),那么后面那辆车的司机可能就会get mad and scream at them(发疯大叫)。•   rage /reɪdʒ/ n. 狂怒•   priority /praɪˈɔ:rəti/ n. 优先权而且,the pedestrian(行人)如果没有cross at the right moment(没好好过马路的话),司机也可能会get very vocalin expressing themselves(有一些言语的冲突)。然而梅莉在中国看到的是,scooters and cars almost get into crashes(马上就要撞在一起了),当他们almost crash的时候,也没有人is screaming,他们只是keep driving their own way。There is no road rage really.  在中国很少见“路怒症”。3. 中法开车差异三:The priority of pedestrians crossing the road(行人过马路的优先权)在中国,有很多地方,pedestrians do not have the right of way(行人没有过马路的优先权),也就是说车不让人。但这一点,it really depends。但是在法国,车让人is a no brainer(是不需要思考的)。即便是有的路口没有traffic light,那司机依然是会wait for you and will let you pass。4. 中法开车差异四:driving on the highway(高速上的开车)如果我们想要overtake a car on the highway(在高速公路上超车),你需要先去the left lane(左车道),也就是快车道,这一点,中国和法国是一样的。但是,在中国,it is much harder to overtake a car(超车就有点难)。因为人们drive at similar speeds on all the lanes(所有车道上开车速度差不多)。5. 中法开车差异五:Driving speed(开车速度)在梅莉看来,Chinese people drive slower than in France。不管是在高速路上,还是在城市里,people drive slower。所以,中国的big crashes(大型交通事故)也就少一点。因为中国大多人的车速is quite safe。中国也有一些标语,比如说 “行车不规范,亲人两行泪”等,会起到警示作用,所以大家都会开车比较小心。欢迎大家在评论区留言,分享你对中外的driving culture的想法和感受。
