Road Rage 路怒
Julia: So Nathan, I got a ride here with you today and I noticed in the car that you were a littlebit angry.
朱莉婭：內(nèi)森，我今天搭你的車(chē)過(guò)來(lái)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)你在開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)有點(diǎn)生氣。
Nathan: You know that was me toned down.
內(nèi)森：你知道我已經(jīng)緩和很多了。
Julia: Oh my goodness.
朱莉婭：哦，我的天哪。
Nathan: I can seriously get mega road rage.
內(nèi)森：我有很?chē)?yán)重的路怒癥。
Julia: Where's it coming from? Where's it coming from?
朱莉婭：為什么?你為什么會(huì)有路怒癥?
Nathan: I think it's because I think that everybody should be like aware and considerate ofeverything around them and I try to be so I try to never go over the speed limit. If I can seelike there's a row of traffic coming on and there's a car stopping the traffic because they wantto turn, I always try to let them turn and I think that some people are selfish and it drives mebonkers.
內(nèi)森：我想是因?yàn)椋艺J(rèn)為所有人都應(yīng)該意識(shí)和考慮到周?chē)那闆r，我會(huì)盡量做到，而且我從來(lái)沒(méi)有過(guò)超速的情況。如果車(chē)流量很大，可是有輛車(chē)因?yàn)橐D(zhuǎn)彎而阻斷了交通，通常我會(huì)讓那輛車(chē)先轉(zhuǎn)彎，可是我認(rèn)為有些人太自私了，這快把我逼瘋了。
Julia: So you have road compassion and road rage at the same time?
朱莉婭：所以你在路上開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)既有同情心又會(huì)發(fā)怒?
Nathan: Yeah, maybe. But it's interesting because I'm going through a process at the momentof trying to wash away this road rage and actually it comes from your husband. He's kind oflike my yogic master and he's telling me all these things to help me. He's, when somebody doessomething crazy and your husband is in the car with me going to work every day...
內(nèi)森：可能吧。不過(guò)有意思的是，我現(xiàn)在正在努力改掉路怒，因?yàn)槟阏煞蛟趲臀?。他是我的瑜伽老師，他給我講和一些事對(duì)我有很大幫助。你丈夫每天早上和我一起開(kāi)車(chē)上班，當(dāng)有人做出很瘋狂的事情時(shí)……
Julia: Does he give you the voice in their head?
朱莉婭：他有沒(méi)有跟你說(shuō)他們頭腦里的聲音?
Nathan: And he says you know it's just a mistake. They didn't normally want to do that kind ofthing but just this one time they made a mistake and they probably won't do it again and itdoesn't matter. Or if I say yeah but lots of people do that and he says but they're not going tochange, you can't drive their car, you can only...
內(nèi)森：他說(shuō)那只是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。他們并不想做這種事，但是這次他們犯了個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，他們可能不會(huì)再這樣做了，這并不要緊。如果我說(shuō)可是有很多人這么做，那他會(huì)說(shuō)，可是他們不會(huì)改變，你不能去開(kāi)他們的車(chē)，你只能……
Julia: He's infuriating with his wisdom, isn't he?
朱莉婭：他在利用他的智慧，是吧?
Nathan: Well but it's useful because it's me changing, like it's helping reduce my stress butit's made me think about some other things as well.
內(nèi)森：不過(guò)這很有用，因?yàn)樽詈笪腋淖兞?，這對(duì)減輕我的壓力很有幫助，而且還讓我思考了一些其他的事。
Julia: So do you think there's a job out there then for people who become passengers to roadragers and give them this calming voice? They sit there in the passenger seat and as you'redriving along and your road rage manifests, this person has then to calm you down and talkyou through it. Do you think there's a job there, do you could make money from that?
朱莉婭：你認(rèn)為需不需要有一個(gè)工作，可以坐在副駕駛座位上幫助那些路怒者，用平靜的話語(yǔ)來(lái)幫助他們?他們可以坐在副駕駛座位上，你在開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)如果表現(xiàn)出路怒的癥狀，這個(gè)人可以讓你平靜下來(lái)，通過(guò)和你說(shuō)話幫你平靜。你認(rèn)為如果有這種工作，你會(huì)花錢(qián)雇傭這種人嗎?
Nathan: I reckon five years ago when the economy was pretty good that would have been apossibility but I think that now that maybe people don't have that money to splash around.
內(nèi)森：我想5年前，在經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)很好的時(shí)候，是有可能性的，不過(guò)我認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在人們沒(méi)有花在這種地方的錢(qián)。
Julia: We're all just stuck with our road rage then?
朱莉婭：我們只能關(guān)注我們的路怒癥?
Nathan: Stuck with my road rage.
內(nèi)森：還是關(guān)注我的路怒癥吧。
