英語資源頻道為大家整理的雙語新聞:大學生暑假學車忙,供大家閱讀參考。
During the summer vacation, some students choose to climb mountains, some volunteer, and some think learning how to drive a car is a vital skill for their future. But with tough weather conditions, tough driving instructors and even tougher requirements for getting a license, students not only learn a skill but also a lesson for life.
暑假期間,有些學生選擇爬山消遣,有些去當志愿者,而有些學生則選擇學開車,他們認為開車是將來的一項重要技能。然而,他們需要面對糟糕的天氣,嚴厲的教練以及要求更為嚴格的駕照考試。對他們來說,學車,更多的是一次人生歷練。
Endurance test
耐力測試
Zhang Li, 19, a sophomore majoring in botany at Yunnan University, nearly lost confidence when he learned to drive at a local driving school.
19歲的張力(音譯)是來自云南大學植物學專業(yè)的一名大二學生。當他在當?shù)匾凰{校學開車時,自信心受到嚴重打擊。
“The driving instructor easily got angry about my performance. A lot of students want to learn how to drive in the summer vacation and let’s face it, we make a lot of rookie mistakes, which really gets on their nerves,” says Zhang.
張力說:“教練總是對我的表現(xiàn)很生氣。很多學生暑假扎堆學車,加上我們新手常會犯錯誤,讓教練很是頭疼?!?BR> But the constant criticism made Zhang feel bad about himself, as if he was too stupid to learn how to drive. Through his parents’ advice, however, he started seeing it as an endurance test.
教練屢次的批評,讓張力失去了信心,他感覺自己真的很笨。然而父母的一席話卻讓他重拾信心,他開始將學車看成是一次耐力考驗。
“It will be important to keep calm at all times when driving on public roads in the future, so I think it’s a good preparation,” says Zhang.
張力說:“將來上路開車時一直保持平和的心態(tài)很重要,所以這次學車是一次很好的鍛煉。”
Vital checks
生命的考驗
Wei Ruolin, 22, a senior majoring in law at Sun Yat-sen University, was one of the many students at the driving school this summer waiting patiently for her lesson to begin. But when Wei finally got behind the wheel next to the instructor, she almost caused an accident.
22歲的魏若琳(音譯)是中山大學法律系專業(yè)的大四學生。她也是今年暑假苦等學車的學生之一。但是,當她終于能坐在教練旁邊的駕駛位時,卻險些釀成車禍。
“I forgot to check the position of the rear- and side-view mirrors before I started driving. I couldn’t see anything on both sides as the mirrors were folded in. I tried to adjust them while driving, but I nearly lost control of the car as I was distracted. It was very dangerous,” Wei says.
魏若琳說:“開車前我忘記檢查汽車的后視鏡了。兩邊的后視鏡折起來了,所以我什么也看不到。開車中我試著調整,但一分神車子就差點失去了控制。真是太危險了?!?BR> When you get into the driving seat, don’t hurry to start the engine, but check everything and make any necessary adjustments before moving off.
當你坐在駕駛席上時,不要急于發(fā)動汽車,而是要在開車前先檢查一邊并做出相應的調整。
Difficult rules
令人頭疼的交規(guī)
Huang Shunlin, 22, a senior majoring in management at Central China Normal University, failed the test for traffic rules three times, even though the majority of the test is based on common sense. But then Huang thought of how many points he would lose on his driving license and the money he would be fined if he kept violating the traffic rules and didn’t learn them well.
22歲的黃順林(音譯)是華中師范大學管理系的一名大四學生。盡管交規(guī)考試試題都是一些常識,但是他三次都沒有通過。黃順林想,要是自己一直違反交規(guī),不認真學習,將來會被扣分并罰款。
“I didn’t pay much attention to the test at first and failed it several times,” says Huang. “When I finally treated it like a real test and prepared with my friend’s help, it was easy and I learned many things to keep me safe on the road.”
黃順林說:“起初,對考試我沒太當回事,掛了好幾次。當我開始認真對待,并得到朋友幫助的時候,我認識到考試其實并不難,而且我學到了很多道路安全駕駛的相關知識?!?
