Now, and then cruise along, drive away, etc. Now, we're going to talk about etiquette.
然后就开过去，等等。现在我们来聊聊规范。
What is etiquette? Etiquette means behavior, how you should behave on the road, okay?
什么是规范？规范说的是行为，你应该怎样在路上开车。
Keep in mind there are other people sharing the road with you.
记住路上还有别的车。
Make sure that everybody is safe, everybody gets where they need to go.
确保每个人都是安全的，大家都能开到他们想去的地方。
So, first thing you want to is you want to yield to pedestrians or cyclists or basically anybody smaller than you.
首先，你应该做到的是，向行人或骑自行车的人或任何比你小的人让路。
If a person is walking and you're going to make a turn and the person is crossing the street, wait for that person to cross the street.
如果一个人正在走，你要转弯，而这个人正在过马路，等他过马路。
If there's a person on a bicycle next to you, let him or her pass or move out of the way so they can go or turn or whatever they need to do.
如果你旁边有骑自行车的人，让他或她通过或者让开，这样他们就可以走或者转弯，或者做任何他们需要做的事情。
Basically, pedestrians, these are people walking, and cyclists, have the right of way.
基本上就是，行人和骑行者有先行权。
The right of way means they have the right to go first before you.
先行权就是她们有在你之前行走的权利。
You have to yield, you have to give up the space to these people, okay?
你得让行，给这些人让出空间。
Otherwise, somebody could get hurt, somebody could get killed, you don't want to be the person responsible for that.
否则，有人可能会受伤，有人可能会丢了性命，你不想成为要对此负责的人。
So, next, now that's for pedestrians and cyclists.
这是对行人和骑行者的行车规范。
With other cars, don't cut people off. People hate when people cut them off.
对于其他车，不要胡乱变道。人们讨厌别人随意变道。
If you're driving and somebody comes and suddenly comes right in front of you without basically changing lanes properly,
如果你在开车时，有人突然出现在你前面，而基本没有正确地换车道，
they don't signal, they don't look, they just come right in front of you, you have to brake hard not to hit them, that means that they cut you off.
他们不打转向灯，他们不看，他们就变道至你的正前方，你必须为了不撞到他们使劲刹车，这意味着他们胡乱变道。
Don't do that to other people. If somebody does it to you, just let them drive away.
不要对别人这样做。如果别人对你这样做了，就让他们开走。
Don't go around crazy and try to cut them off too. It's not good for anybody, although it happens.
不要乱开，试图超他们的车。这对任何人都不好，尽管它有时会发生。
And don't tailgate. If somebody is going slow, don't come right behind their back bumper and be very, very close.
不要紧随着前面的车。如果有人开慢了，不要紧跟在他们的后面，离他们非常近。
If they hit the brake, you're going to hit them in the back and in Canada, at least,
如果他们踩了刹车，你就会从车后面撞到他们，至少在加拿大是这样，
the person in the back who hits the person the front, the person in the back is the one who gets the ticket, the one who gets blamed for the accident, if it happens.
对于后面开车的人撞到前面的车的情况，罚单会开给后面开车的人，如果事故发生，他会受到处罚。
Don't tailgate, don't cut people off.
不要紧随前面的车，不要随意变道。
Now, if you're coming to a streetlight, there's red, orange, green, but we don't call it orange, we call it amber.
如果你遇到路灯，有红灯，黄灯，绿灯，但它不是橙色，我们称它琥珀色。
That's the color, it looks like orange, but it's called amber.
这就是它的颜色，看起来像橙色，但是它是琥珀色。
If you're driving along and you have a green light and suddenly the green light turns to amber, what you should do is press the brakes, not the gas.
如果你开车的时候遇到绿灯，突然绿灯变成了黄灯，你应该做的是踩刹车，而不是踩油门。
Some people, they see orange, they want to beat the light, they don't want to stop for the red,
有些人，他们看到黄灯后，想要避开红灯，他们不想在红灯时停下来，
so they charge the amber, they put up extra speed to try to beat the light.
所以他们在黄灯时冲过去，他们加速开车，试图在红灯亮之前冲过去。
Don't do that. If it turns amber, slow down, stop at the red, wait for your green light.
不要这么做。如果黄灯亮了，减速，在红灯时停车，等待绿灯亮了。
Now, in some countries, how the lights work, they go from green to amber to red, and then from red to amber to green.
在一些国家，交通灯是这样运作的，从绿灯到黄灯再到红灯，然后从红灯到黄灯再到绿灯。
In Canada, for example, we go green, amber, red, red, green. There's no warning.
比如在加拿大，它是从绿到黄，到红，再到绿。没有预告。
Patience, wait for your turn, go when it's your turn. Ideally, avoid honking.
保持耐心，等待时机，绿灯的时候行进。理想的是，避免按喇叭。
*Honk honk*, try not to honk at people because nobody likes it, but if somebody is at a light and the light turns green
不要试图朝人按喇叭，因为没人喜欢这样，但是如果有人在等待绿灯，绿灯亮的时候，
and they're sitting there on their phone texting and they don't see the green light, then yeah, honk, wake them up a little bit.
他们还坐在那里发短信，没有看到绿灯，这时候就按喇叭，让他们开车。
They shouldn't be texting. Otherwise, try not to do it.
他们不应该发短信。其他情况下，尽量不要按喇叭。
People don't like it; some people go a little bit crazy. Speaking of going crazy, avoid road rage.
人们不会喜欢的；有些人会抓狂的。说到疯狂，不要在路上发怒。
So, a lot - this is happening more and more in the world, especially in busy cities with lots of traffic.
现实中这种事发生的越来越多，尤其是交通繁忙的大城市。
People just - they go crazy. If somebody cuts them off or if somebody's not moving at the light or if somebody's going too slow,
人们就会抓狂。在他们开车时，如果有人胡乱变道，或者绿灯亮了还不开车，或者如果有人开得太慢，
more and more, people just - they go crazy when they're driving, and they do stupid things.
还有很多情况，人们就会抓狂，然后就会做愚蠢的事情。
Sometimes people hit somebody just because they're angry, more and more you hear stories about somebody getting out of their car
有时人们只是因为生气而打别人，越来越多的此类事件正在发生，人从车里出来，
and pulling the other guy out or pulling over a bicyclist and just beating them up.
把另一个人拉出来，或者把一个骑自行车的人逼停，然后打他们。
Sometimes, you hear about shootings because of road rage. Stay calm.
有时你会听到因为路怒而枪击的事件。请淡定。
Whatever you do as you're driving, breathe. Stay calm.
在你开车的时候，深呼吸。淡定点。
Don't go crazy because it's not good for anybody, it's not good for you especially.
不要发狂，因为它对任何人都不好，尤其是对你不好。
If you get into an accident or if you do something stupid because of road rage, the police don't care how angry you are.
如果你因为路怒做了一些蠢事，发生了事故的话，警察是不会在意你有多愤怒的。
You will get charged; you might go to jail if you did something really bad.
你会被罚款，如果你做了一些很糟糕的事，你可能会进监狱。
Now, speaking of people texting and email - don't.
说到发信息和邮件，不要这么做。
When you're in your car, put your phone down, turn it off, don't look at it, you're not on your phone, you're in front of your car.
开车的时候，把手机放下来，关掉，不要看手机，你没有在你手机上，你在车里面。
Your car is a weapon, okay? Your car can kill people. Make sure you're in control of your car.
你的车是个武器，好吗？它可以撞死人。确保你控制好自己的车。
If you're driving and texting, that means you're not looking. If you're not looking, you're not seeing possible dangers.
如果开车发短信的话，意味着你没有在看路况。看不到路况，你就看不到潜在的危险。
If you're not seeing possible dangers, you are the danger, okay? So, make sure you're not texting, you're not emailing, you're not distracted.
如果你看不到潜在的危险，你就是危险，好吧。确保你不要发短信，邮件，不要分心。
Distracted driving is a big problem these days in most places all over the world.
如今，在世界上大多数地方，分心驾驶都是一个大问题。
If a police officer stops you for distracted driving, it's a big ticket, okay?
如果警察因为你开车分心而拦下你，那可是要付出很大代价的，知道吗？
In some places, you'll have one ticket, like I think $150 or $200 the first time, second time is $500, third time you lose your license, okay? So, don't do it.
在一些地方，你收到一张罚单，比如第一次是150美元或200美元，第二次是500美元，第三次你会失去驾照，所以，不要这样做。
And again, it's dangerous. So instead, use hands-free devices. Hands-free means no hands, right?
再说一次，这很危险。所以要使用免提装置。免提意味着不用手。
That's what the "free" means. Hands-free - Bluetooth. Somebody calls you; you press a button and you talk all you want.
这就是free的意思。蓝牙。有人给你打电话，你按一个按钮就可以通话。
When it's over, you hang up and that's it. Don't hold a phone. Don't hold a tablet. Don't hold a GPS.
通话结束后，就挂掉，没事了。不要拿着手机。不要拿平板。不要拿GPS。
Don't hold anything except the steering wheel.
除了握住方向盘，别的什么也别拿。
And make sure you're aware of what's going on, avoid dangers, stay calm, everybody gets to where they're going, everybody's happy, and it's all good.
确保你知道正在发生的事，避免危险，保持冷静，大家都可以去到他们要去的地方，大家都开心了，都挺好。
So, that's all you need to know about driving.
这就是你要知道的关于开车的词汇。
Of course, you need to know about your car, you need to know about certain things you're going to see on a road if you're going on a trip.
当然，你需要了解你的车，如果你要去旅行，你需要知道你将在路上遇到的某些情况。
