“荷蘭式開(kāi)車門”刷爆朋友圈

The phenomenon of bikers getting hit by an opening car door is so common it has its own term: dooring.

騎車人被打開(kāi)的汽車門撞到，這種情況很常見(jiàn)，英語(yǔ)里有個(gè)專門的詞來(lái)描述，那就是dooring。

According to a study in Chicago, as many as 1 in 5 bicycle accidents involve car doors – in total, there is an average of nearly one dooring per day in the Windy City.

根據(jù)芝加哥的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，有多達(dá)五分之一的自行車事故和開(kāi)車門有關(guān)?？傮w來(lái)看，在芝加哥平均每天都會(huì)發(fā)生一起因?yàn)殚_(kāi)車門撞到騎車人的事故。

Even when bikers swerve to avoid doors, they can end up getting hit by cars.

即使騎車人趕緊轉(zhuǎn)彎想避開(kāi)，也難免被撞到。

開(kāi)車門引發(fā)的悲劇，我們?cè)撊绾伪苊?

最近，一種“荷蘭式開(kāi)車門”法，突然在網(wǎng)上火了。

什么是“荷蘭式開(kāi)車門法”?這是一種荷蘭人發(fā)明的Dutch Reach。荷蘭人用“離車門最遠(yuǎn)的手”去開(kāi)車門，強(qiáng)迫自己扭動(dòng)身體向后看。簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)就是：左邊用右手開(kāi)，右邊用左手開(kāi)。

當(dāng)你使用離車門較遠(yuǎn)的那只手開(kāi)門時(shí)，上半身會(huì)自然而然地轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，頭部和肩膀就會(huì)很自然地向外看。

The Dutch Reach is a practice where instead of using your near hand — usually the driver’s left hand — to open your car door, you use your far hand. Your right hand.

按照“荷蘭式開(kāi)車門”法，開(kāi)車門時(shí)不要用離車門近的那只手(通常是司機(jī)的左手)，而要用離車門遠(yuǎn)的手，一般是司機(jī)的右手。

In doing that, you automatically swivel your body. And you position your head and shoulders so you are looking directly out.

這樣做，你的身體就會(huì)自動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)向，頭和肩膀的位置也會(huì)移動(dòng)，自然向外看。

First, past the rearview mirror. And then, you are very easily able to look back and see if there are oncoming bicycles or cars or whatever.

你的視線首先會(huì)掃過(guò)后視鏡，之后很容易就能向后看，發(fā)現(xiàn)后方是否有駛來(lái)的自行車、汽車或者別的什么。

The simplicity of the approach is part of its genius.

這個(gè)方法非常簡(jiǎn)單，也正是其精妙之處。

多做一個(gè)動(dòng)作，就能避免交通事故，你記住了嗎?
