Article 1: My drive in USA:
I write this note as my stream of?consciousness from my daily drive and life. You are welcome to sit beside me?and join the drive.
458 English words; Estimated reading time: Less?than 3 min.
Americans are Americans, we seem not tocare much about what the other parts of the world does and which side of theroad they drive.We love our cars andit’s a part of life and it represents us in the culture around us.
Some basics first.We have our own words for cars, we do not usethe words from Europe and other places.We do not know what is “Petrol” – we call it “Gas”.On Google, we will search for “Gas Station”,not “Petrol Station” in USA.Our car has a “Trunk”, not a “Boot”.We have a “Hood”, not a “Bonnet”.There are many more, but these are thebasics.
We are proud of our American cars, but we?secretly admire the European cars as we do the beautiful neighbor girl.
The morning sun is upon us and let's start our day – Engine on. Music on… no no. we turn on the news first to know what is happening.Of coz, we are stupid and only care about the news around us and ignore the news around the world.Although we are aware that our Radio news stations are biased and they feed us limited news, we gladly consume the stupidity. Most morning Radio show has much talk and laughter – it’s a way to have friends during our morning drive.
Ummm.. I am hungry and I want my morning?coffee…
We have a lot of Drive-In restaurants… thiswas first invented by a Texan entrepreneur named Jessie G. Kirby in the year1921.He opened America’s first drive-inrestaurant, along a highway.Such aDrive-In place was an instant success and the phrase “Drive-In” was born.
Now I have a cup of coffee in hand and anegg breakfast sandwich and my phone lying on the side.We all know it’s not safe, but we do all thisand more in the car in the morning.Oncein a while you can see more of our stupidity - lady putting her makeup in thecar, cutting nails, reading a book or newspaper, laptop work and more.Eating and having coffee in the car is sonormal, we do not think of this as abnormal.
So, you are with me “Riding Shotgun”.Sitting in the front seat (not the driver),is called “Riding Shotgun”.This saying’sroots lie in the American Wild West. In those days it was necessary for allwagon“stagecoach” drivers to have an armed guard ride next to him. Armed with aGun, it was the guard’s job to shoot any potential threat to the wagon. Of coz,it can be animals, bad people or anything that may threaten the wagon.
Next we continue the drive ---- and that is rest of the story.
開篇:我在美國開車---介紹普通美國人每天早上從家到辦公室的一段駕駛歷程
在這里會記錄我的日常生活和駕駛經(jīng)驗暴备。歡迎邀您的加入坐在我身邊一同分享駕駛樂趣悠瞬。
總共:487字,預計3分鐘閱讀時間涯捻。
美國人就是美國人浅妆,我們似乎不太關心世界其他地區(qū)是怎樣的,以及駕駛的是哪條路障癌。我們愛我們的汽車凌外,因為它成為了生活的一部分,它圍繞著我們的生活并已溶入了我們的文化涛浙。
先講基礎知識康辑。關于車,我們有我們自己的特殊用語轿亮,不同于歐洲和其他地方的說法疮薇。我們不說“Petrol (汽油)”,我們稱之為“Gas (汽油)”我注。在美國找加油站按咒,在谷歌上搜索“Gas station (加油站)”,而不是“Petrol Station (加油站)”但骨。我們的車有一個“Trunk (車尾行李箱)”励七,而不是一個“Boot(汽車行李箱)”。我們有一個“Hood(引擎蓋)”嗽冒,而不是一個“Bonnet(引擎蓋)”呀伙。還有更多,但先舉例這些添坊。
我們?yōu)槲覀兊拿绹嚫械津湴两肆恚覀円餐低档匦蕾p歐洲車,好比我們偷偷愛慕鄰居的美麗女孩。(這里需要一個紅臉的FACE)
早上太陽升起雨女,讓我們開始這一天谚攒。(洗漱/梳妝部分省略)開啟引擎,打開音樂氛堕,不馏臭,不讼稚,我們打開新聞括儒,先了解發(fā)生了什么锐想。然而我們也是愚蠢的帮寻,只關心我們身邊的新聞赠摇,卻忽略世界各地的新聞固逗。雖然我們意識到我們的電臺是有偏見的,他們只提供有限的新聞內容藕帜,但我們也樂意接受(這種)愚蠢烫罩。大多數(shù)早間的廣播節(jié)目有很多的談話類和搞笑類(節(jié)目)洽故,這就好比有一位朋友加入到早晨的駕車時段中。
嗚嗚嗚时甚,我現(xiàn)在很餓饿这,需要來一杯咖啡。(美國人和歐洲人一樣撞秋,需要一杯咖啡來被叫醒)
我們有很多的汽車餐館(不用下車就可點單),這是由一個德克薩斯企業(yè)家杰西·G·柯比在1921年首先創(chuàng)辦的嚣鄙。他在高速公路邊開辦了美國第一家汽車餐館。這樣的汽車餐館迅速成功哑子,于是汽車餐館由于誕生。
現(xiàn)在卧蜓,咖啡在手,還有早餐雞蛋三明治弥奸,還有我的手機躺在旁邊。我們都知道這是不安全的,但幾乎大家都這么做赠橙,特別是早上駕車時。甚至有時你還能看到更愚蠢的做法期揪,女生們會把她們的化妝品放在車里掉奄,剪指甲凤薛,讀書/報,用筆記本電腦工作及更多缤苫。所以,在車上吃東西或喝咖啡是很平常的榨馁,我們不認為這有什么奇怪。
所以翼虫,作為我的“副駕駛”,坐在前排副駕駛位置珍剑,被稱為“Riding Shotgun”掸宛。這句話的起源來自美國西部招拙。在那些日子里,所有四輪運貨的“馬車”司機都必須有帶武裝的警衛(wèi)坐在旁邊别凤。警衛(wèi)的工作就是使用武器射殺任何潛在的威脅來保護貨車。當然规哪,(威脅)可能來自于動物,壞的人或任何可能威脅到貨車的東西诉稍。
這只是一個簡單的開篇,接著我們會講述如何在美國加油杯巨,如何走高速公路蚤告,如何在美國看醫(yī)生等等。服爷。获诈。這是我第一次在中國的網(wǎng)站上寫東西箫章,可能翻譯的不是很好烙荷,大家是否愿意看中英文的文章檬寂,還是只讀英文的?
你想知道什么桶至,你對什么感興趣,請讓我聽到你們的聲音镣屹。
