Hi. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to part two of our two-day on distracted driving.

大家好,我是卡爾·阿祖茲,歡迎收看分心駕駛的第二部分。

Yesterday`s report by Kelly Wallace gave you a sense of the problem and the impact it can have on drivers and victims. But it`s not going away overnight. Though 46 states and the U.S. capital have bans on texting while driving, people still do it.

昨天凱利·華萊士的報道讓你了解了分心駕駛所帶來的問題,以及可能對司機(jī)以及受害者所帶來的影響。但是這種現(xiàn)象并不會馬上消失。盡管美國46各州以及首都華盛頓都明令禁止開車發(fā)送短信,可是人們還是照樣那么做

And today, we`re looking at why and technology itself could be one solution to the problem.

今天我們看一下為什么技術(shù)本身可能會成為解決問題的辦法。

Most people will admit that doing this while driving is dangerous, and yet they do it any way. Why?

大多數(shù)人承認(rèn),開車發(fā)短信是非常危險的行為,但是他們還是繼續(xù)做。為什么呢?

Experts say it`s because of the addictive nature of these devices and how our brain instinctively responds to those pings.

專家表示這是因為,這些智能設(shè)備具有讓人上癮的特征,同時我們的大腦又會本能的對其發(fā)出的響聲作出反應(yīng)。

It`s like being at a party. When someone taps you on the shoulder, you need to turn around. The same is often true when you hear a ping. You need to look even when you`re behind the wheel.

這就像在一個聚會上一樣。當(dāng)有人拍你的肩膀的時候,你就會向周圍看。這就跟你聽得響聲的原理是一樣的。只不過,現(xiàn)在你正在駕駛,你需要向下看。

(voice-over): Before the accident that changed Laura Maurer`s life, the mother of two tried to ignore the ping alerting her to an incoming text but ultimately couldn`t resist it.

在車禍改變勞拉·莫伊雷爾的生活之前,這位母親試圖忽略短信來時發(fā)出的聲音,但是最終還是被聲音所吸引。

It is not like I sat in my car and thought I`m going on drive distracted and hit somebody today. That`s not what I was out to do.

這并不像我坐在車?yán)?,想著我會開車時分心,然后會撞到別人。這并不是我要做的。

WALLACE: Looking at that text would cause her to crash into a tractor here in rural Iowa, taking the life of a 75-year-old man.

看手機(jī)短信導(dǎo)致莫伊雷爾在愛荷華州農(nóng)村撞上了一輛拖拉機(jī),然后導(dǎo)致一位75歲的老人死亡。

The reason why she answered that ping is because she felt compulsed or felt a compulsion in order to answer it.

她之所以對短信聲音作出反應(yīng),是因為,她有一種回復(fù)的沖動。

WALLACE: Dr. David Greenfield is the founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction. He says most of us would probably have done the same thing and looked at that text.

大衛(wèi)·格林菲爾德博士是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和技術(shù)中心的創(chuàng)始人。他說,我們大多數(shù)人可能會做同樣的事情,去看短信。

GREENFIELD: I think that conservatively, 60 to 70 percent of people are probably doing with it some frequency. What does that mean? That means that it is just Russian roulette, that some of those people are going to have accidents. Some of those people are going to be killed. And some of those people are going to kill or hurt somebody else.

保守估計,約有60%到70%的人會以同樣的頻率做這件事。這是什么意思?這意味著它只是俄羅斯輪盤賭,有些人會發(fā)生車禍,有些人可能被撞死,有些人可能會撞死或者撞傷別人。

So, is that a huge problem? I think it is. Do I think it is a public health issue? Yes, I do.

所以,這是一個大問題嗎?我認(rèn)為它是。我認(rèn)為這是一個公共衛(wèi)生問題嗎?是的,我也這么認(rèn)為。
