中美车文化的差异 Car Culture in China vs in the US


Listen Later

Hello everyone, in this episode I talk about the different cultures about cars in China and the US. First, in many states in America, people can get behind the wheel as young as 15 whereas in China you have to be at least 18 to get a driver's license. Secondly, because China has more choices in terms of public transportation, many Chinese do not feel that much of a need to get a car. But it's likely that you will have to have a car to be able to get around if you live in most of the US.


大家好,欢迎收听!我上个星期在上课的时候,做了一个自行车交通事故的阅读练习。我的学生当时问为什么是自行车,而不是汽车呢?他们觉得有点儿奇怪。因为在我们这里,没有人骑自行车,除非是为了运动。我说这也是一个文化上的差异吧,因为绝大多数的中国的高中生和大学生是不开车的。我的学生们听了就都很惊讶。所以今天我想来具体聊一聊中国和美国关于车的文化习俗。

首先,中国人和美国人开始开车的法定年龄和程序不同。中国十八岁以上才可以考驾照。在中国,一般人会去驾校学习开车。学好以后参加笔试和路考。通过了以后,才可以上路。而在美国,比如我在的北卡(North Carolina),十五岁就可以拿“有条件的学习许可”(Limited Learner's Permit - Level 1)。有了这个证的话,前六个月,可以在前座监督司机的陪同下,早上5:00到晚上9:00之间开车。前六个月之后,可以在有人监督的情况下随时开车。持有“有限学习驾照”至少12个月后,可以参加路考,获得“有限临时驾照”(Limited Provisional License - Level 2)。这个时候你就可以在没有监督司机的情况下开车上下学了。年满十六岁并且持有限临时驾照至少六个月,就可以获得完全驾照(Full Provisional License - Level 3)。当然所有这些的前提是你没有违反交通法规。

因为中国十八岁以前不能开车,所以你也就看不到中国的高中生开车。其实在中国的大学校园里,学生开车也不常见。很多上班了的中国人也不开车。美国人就会觉得:那难道不是很不自由吗?没有车哪儿也去不了啊!这就是我要说的第二点中美差异:中国和美国的生活习惯和汽车文化不同。跟美国比起来,中国的公共交通方便得多。对于大部分中国学生来说,没有特别需要学习开车。不管上学还是上班,出差还是旅游,一般来说都可以通过公共交通解决。比如地铁、公共汽车、机场快线、动车、高铁,又快又方便。但是在美国,如果你不住在公共交通相对发达一些的大城市的话,你一定要开车才能正常地生活。我在中国就不会开车,我也没想学开车。从小学到大学,我都没开过车。中小学的时候我走路,坐公共汽车或者骑自行车上下学,大学我骑自行车或者坐公共汽车。到了美国以后,因为没车实在太不方便了,所以才买了车,开始学习开车。在中国因为没车也不太影响自己能去哪儿,所以也不会觉得行动受到限制。觉得不自由。在美国没有车真的不自由!

好了,今天就跟大家聊到这里。希望大家喜欢!再见!
