原文: The Better Driver

I also think that often both men and women are better drivers depending on the character and circumstances you are dealing with. True women are known for their sense of detail and this does make them drive more carefully at times. However taking into consideration other factors like susceptibility to road rage and following the rules of the road, I think that regarding a man or a woman, men are often better drivers.

Women will watch traffic carefully and act preventively as far as I am concerned but so do men. It is difficult to say that women follow the rules of road more than men do. I also think that when it comes to being under the influence of alcohol both men and women drive under the influence and this makes them both responsible. I do think that the average woman drinker will drink less than the average drinking guy making him more dangerous for drunk driving. before driving Perhaps someone does have accurate enough statistics that they can say men are more apt to be in an accident behind a wheel than women because of the alcohol in their blood.

I do think that women can be as easily distracted from the road as they can focus and such was the case in a recent family drive out of the city, where a female member of the family always wavered in her distance from a following family car even though she insisted she kept the same distance. The issue in question was a family trip where one car had to follow another to get to the same road exit on the way to a family occasion.

Men I think can be better navigators and historically there have been more men than women doing that. Navigating means in this case knowing where a turn off is before getting there. Women on the other hand, I think go more by instinct and then probably will recall a location just as a man would. I think that instinct is not as accurate as having the talent to look at a man and know directions before getting to the final destination. Here I am not saying that all women are instinctive on the road and lack a certain rationality but I have come across more women who were indecisive behind the wheel then men when it came to finding a turn off or knowing which highway to take.

Women tend to find their location by remembering something visual about what their destination was, especially if they have to return there. Men on the other hand tend to think more analytically by remembering road turn-offs and location crossroads. This phenomenon has been studied psychologically. The way of finding a final location does not make either the man or woman a better driver but if the visuals around a location are going to change as happens when there are new buildings erected in the region perhaps the better method of getting to a final place is by remembering a road name and not what the buildings around looked like. This would make males better drivers because they would hesitate less behind the wheel and be more confident about finding a location they have to drive to.

译文: 更好的驾驶员

     我也认为往往男人和女人都是比较好的驾驶员得视性格与正处理的情况而定。真正的女人以细腻感知名。有时这让她们开车更小心些。然而,考虑到其他因素如容易公路暴怒和遵循道路规则,我认为对于男性或女性来说,男性一贯在驾驶方面比较强。

     女人会小心注视着来往的车辆,做预先防范。但我认为男人也是。很难讲女人就会更遵守道路规则。我还认为一涉及到饮酒,男人和女人在酒后驾车便都要承担责任。我想开车前一般的饮酒女性喝的量比一般的饮酒男性少一些。这使得男人酒后驾车的危险性更高一些。也许有人用足够准确的数据来说话,由于血液中的酒精含量,男性更容易在方向盘前出车祸。

     我觉得女人的注意力很容易分散就好像她们的注意力很容易集中一样。近来的家庭驱车到郊外兜风就真有这样的情况。在郊外,家中的女成员总是举棋不定,不知如何与前面的家车保持一定距离,尽管她坚持说她是保持了一样的距离。所讨论的问题就是一次家庭旅行,途中一辆车紧跟着另一辆车开向同一个公路出口,行驶在通往家庭聚会点的路上。

     我认为男人可以是更好的驾驶员,而且历史上那样的男人是比女人多的。在这种情况下,导航就意味着我们得事先知道转弯处在哪。另一方面,我认为女人本质上是走得多一些,然后才可能像男人那样记住一个地方。我想本能不如天资那样可以用来准确地看待男人,并在抵达最终目的地前准确地知道方向。虽然我没有在这说所有的女人都是凭直觉开车,缺乏一定的理性,但是一涉及到找岔路口或者知道走哪条高速公路,我遇到过女人在方向盘前优柔寡断的情况比较多一些。

     女人往往是通过记住看到的关于目的地的事物来找到她们的位置,特别是如果她们得返回那里的话。另一方面,男人往往通过记住道路的拐弯处和十字路口的位置而更能分析性思考。就心理而言,这种现象已被研究过。虽然寻找最终位置的方法没有使男人或女人成为一个更好的驾驶员,但是,如果位置周围的视觉资料随着一幢新大楼在这个地区被建起而发生了变化,也许到达一个最终地点的更好方法就是记住路名而不是记住附近建筑物的样子。这会使男性成为比较好的驾驶员,因为他们在方向盘前会更果断些,也更有信心找到要开车到达的地方。
