第一篇:研究生英語_安全帶的隱患 原文+翻譯
It's almost a common sense that wearing a seat belt can keep passengers from being injured or being killed in a car accident.But recent research done by John Adams shows more complicated statistics.More car accidents are caused by the reckless drivers who wear seat belts.THE HIDDEN DANGER OF SEAT BELTS
David Bjerklie Seat belts still decrease our risk of dying in an accident, but the statistics are not all black and white.In fact, according to one researcher, seat belts may actually cause people to drive more recklessly.2 If there's one thing we know about our risky world, it's that seat belts save lives.And they do, of course.But reality, as usual, is messier and more complicated than that.John Adams, risk expert and emeritus professor of geography at University College London, was an early skeptic of the seat belt safety mantra.Adams first began to look at the numbers more than 25 years ago.What he found was that contrary to conventional wisdom, mandating the use of seat belts in 18 countries resulted in either no change or actually a net increase in road accident deaths.3 How can that be? Adams' interpretation of the data rests on the notion of risk compensation, the idea that individuals tend to adjust their behavior in response to what they perceive;as changes in the level of risk.Imagine, explains Adams, a driver negotiating a curve in the road.Let's make him a young male.He is going to be influenced by his perceptions of both the risks and rewards of driving a car.The considerations could include getting to work or meeting a mend for dinner on time, impressing a companion with his driving skills, bolstering his image of himself as an accomplished driver.They could also include his concern for his own safety and desire to live to a ripe old age, his feelings of responsibility for a toddler with him in a car seat, the cost of banging up his shiny new car or losing his license.Nor will these possible concerns exist in a vacuum.He will be taking into account the weather and the condition of the road, the amount of traffic and the capabilities of the car he is driving.But crucially, says Adams, this driver will also be adjusting his behavior in response to what he perceives are changes in risks.If he is wearing a seat belt and his car has front and side air bags and anti-skid brakes to boot, he may in turn drive a bit more daringly.4 The point, stresses Adams, is that drivers who feel safe may actually increase the risk that they pose to other drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians and their own passengers(while an average of 80% of drivers buckle up, only 68% of their rear-seat passengers do).And risk compensation is hardly confined to the act of driving a car.Think of a trapeze artist, suggests Adams, or a rock climber or motorcyclist.Add some safety equipment to the equation-a net, rope or helmet respectively-and the person may try maneuvers that he or she would otherwise consider foolish.In the case of seat belts, instead of a simple, straightforward reduction in deaths, the end result is actually a more complicated redistribution of risk and fatalities.For the sake of argument, offers Adams, imagine how it might affect the behavior of drivers if a sharp stake were mounted in the middle of the steering wheel? Or if the bumper were packed with explosives.Perverse, yes, but it certainly provides a vivid example of how a perception of risk could modify behavior.5 In everyday life, risk is a moving target, not a set number as statistics might suggest.In addition to external factors, each individual has his or her own internal comfort level with risk-taking.Some are daring while others are cautious by nature.And still others are fatalists who may believe that a higher power devises mortality schedules that fix a predetermined time when our number is up.Consequently, any single measurement assigned to the risk of driving a car is bound to be only the roughest sort of benchmark.Adams cites, as an example the statistical fact that a young man is 100 times more likely to be involved in a severe crash than is a middle-aged woman.Similarly, someone driving at 3:00 a.m.Sunday is more than 100 times more likely to die than someone driving at 10:00 a.m.Sunday.Someone with a personality disorder is 10 times more likely to die.And let's say he's also drunk.Tally up All these factors and consider them independently says Adams, and you could arrive at.a statistical prediction that a disturbed, drunken young man driving in the middle of the night is 2.7 million times more likely to be involved in a serious accident than would a sober, middle-aged woman driving to church seven hours later.6 The bottom line is that risk doesn't exist in a vacuum and that there are a host of factors that come into play, including the rewards of risk, whether they are financial, physical or emotional.It is this very human context which risk exists.That is key, says Adams, who titled one of his recent blogs: What Kills You Matters-Not Numbers.Our reaction to risk very much depends on the degree to which it is voluntary(scuba diving), unavoidable(public transit)or imposed(air quality), the degree to which we feel we are in control(driving)or at the mercy of others(plane travel), and the degree to which the source of possible danger is benign("doctor's orders), indifferent(nature)or malign,(murder and terrorism).We make dozens of risk calculations daily, but you can book odds-that most of them are so automatic or visceral-that we barely notice them.翻譯
安全帶的隱患
The hidden danger of seat belts
安全帶可以避免乘客在車禍中受傷或死亡,這幾乎是常識。但是,約翰.亞當斯最近所做的研究得出了更加復雜的統計數據。當司機系著安全帶時,他們開車無所顧忌,更多車禍因此而發生。
座椅安全帶固然能降低我們在車禍中死亡的危險,但從統計數據看,情況并不是那么絕對。事實上,據一位研究者說,安全帶可能會使人們在駕車時更加肆無忌憚。
對于這個有危險的世界,如果有一件事我們還算了解,那就是座椅安全帶可以救命。當然,它確實可以救命。但實際情況通常要更混亂、更復雜。倫敦大學學院的風險專家、地理學榮譽教授約翰·亞當斯早就質疑安全帶能保證駕車安全的信條。亞當斯最早開始查看統計數字是早在25年前的事了。他的發現與人們的普遍看法恰恰相反——在18個強制使用安全帶的國家,要么交通事故死亡率根本沒有變化,要么實際上反而導致了死亡率的凈增長。
怎么會這樣?亞當斯用風險補償的概念來解釋這些數據資料,這個概念就是:人們往往會根據他們意識到的風險程度的改變來相應地調整自己的行為。亞當斯解釋說,假設一位司機駕車途中要過一個窄彎道,這名司機是個男青年,那么他會受到自己對以下兩方面認知的影響:駕車的風險和駕車的回報。他所考慮的東西可能包括:能夠準時上班或準時趕赴朋友的飯局、讓同伴對他的駕車技術留下深刻印象、使自己作為熟練駕車手的形象更加鞏固。他還可能考慮到自身的安全問題、長命百歲的愿望、對車上年幼乘客的責任感、撞毀自己的漂亮新車或駕駛證被沒收的代價。
這些可能的擔心也不是孤立存在的。他還要考慮到天氣和路況、交通擁擠的程度和所駕車子的性能。但亞當斯說,關鍵的是這個司機還將根據他對風險變化的判斷來調整自己的行為。如果他系上了安全帶,而他的車子帶有前、側氣囊和防滑剎車系統,他駕起車來可能會更大膽。
亞當斯強調說,問題就在于自我感覺安全的司機們實際上對其他司機、騎自行車者、行人和自己車上的乘客來說是更大的危險(平均80%的司機系安全帶,而同車后座的乘客只有68%系安全帶)。風險補償絕不僅限于駕車行為。亞當斯說,類似的還有表演高空秋千的藝人、攀巖者或摩托車手。如果在他們的安全等式上增添某種安全裝置——比如說分別給他們一張救生網、一根保險繩或一個頭盔——這個人可能就會試著做些平時認為很愚蠢的技巧性表演。因此,安全帶并非簡單、直截了當地減少死亡人數,而是對風險和死亡事故進行了更加復雜的再分配。為了說明其中的道理,亞當斯提出人們可以想象一下,如果在方向盤中間安一個尖頭的木樁,司機開車時會受到怎樣的影響?或者在保險杠上裝滿炸藥呢?這簡直是喪心病狂,是的,不過這確實提供了一個生動的例子,來說明人們如何根據對風險的判斷來調整行為。
日常生活中,風險是不斷移動的靶子,而并不像統計數據那樣是個固定數字。除了外部因素外,每個人對于冒險都有自己內在的安全尺度。有些人天生大膽而有些人天生謹慎,還有些人是宿命論者,他們會認為,有一種更強大的力量設計了死亡時間表,預先確定了我們的死期。因此,對駕車風險做任何單一的測算所得到的肯定只是最粗略的基準數據。
亞當斯引用了這樣的統計事實作例子:青年男子發生嚴重撞車事故的概率比中年婦女高100倍。同樣,在星期天凌晨3點鐘駕車的人比同一天上午10點鐘駕車的人死亡風險高出100多倍,有人格障礙的人比一般人死亡風險高10倍。亞當斯說,假如這個人還喝醉了,匯總所有這些因素并分別加以考慮,就會得到一個具有統計性的預測:一位心理失常又喝醉酒的青年男子在午夜駕車,7個小時后一位頭腦清醒的中年婦女駕車去教堂,前者發生嚴重交通事故的概率比后者高270萬倍。
問題的要點就在于風險并不是孤立存在的,它會受到許多因素的影響,包括承擔風險所帶來的種種回報——無論是財產方面的、身體方面的,還是情感方面的。這正是風險賴以存在的真實的人類社會。亞當斯說,這才是問題的關鍵,正如他把近期的一篇博客題目定為《關鍵的是置人于死地的東西,而不是數字。我們對風險的反應多半取決于它在多大程度上是自發的行為(如戴水肺潛水)、是不可避免的(如公共交通)、還是強加給我們的(如空氣質量);取決于我們認為在多大程度上是我們能控制的(如駕駛)或是由別人控制的(如乘飛機);還取決于這種潛在危險在多大程度上是出于好意(如醫生的指令)、無意的(如自然因素)或惡意的(如謀殺和恐怖活動)。我們每天要做幾十遍風險計算,但是可以確信的是,多數時候人們對風險的計算自然而然或者說是出自本能,以至于我們幾乎注意不到我們在做計算。

第九屆“鄭州大學—《英語世界》杯”翻譯大賽英譯漢原文
The Whoomper Factor
By Nathan Cobb
【1】As this is being written, snow is falling in the streets of Boston in what weather forecasters like to call “record amounts.” I would guess by looking out the window that we are only a few hours from that magic moment of paralysis, as in Storm Paralyzes Hub.Perhaps we are even due for an Entire Region Engulfed or a Northeast Blanketed, but I will happily settle for mere local disablement.And the more the merrier.【1】寫這個的時候,波士頓的街道正下著雪,天氣預報員將稱其為“創紀錄的量”。從窗外望去,我猜想,過不了幾個小時,神奇的癱瘓時刻就要來臨,就像《風暴癱瘓中心》里的一樣。也許我們甚至能夠見識到《吞沒整個區域》或者《茫茫東北》里的場景,然而僅僅部分地區的癱瘓也能使我滿足。當然越多越使人開心。
【2】Some people call them blizzards, others nor’easters.My own term is whoompers, and I freely admit looking forward to them as does a baseball fan to April.Usually I am disappointed, however;because tonight’s storm warnings too often turn into tomorrow’s light flurries.【2】有些人稱它們為暴風雪,其他人稱其為東北風暴。我自己則有一個叫法:吶喊者。我大方地承認道我期待著它們的到來,正如一位籃球迷盼望著四月份的來臨。然而通常情況下,我會大失所望,因為今天發布了風暴警報,明天往往只飄起小雪。
【3】Well, flurries be damned.I want the real thing, complete with Volkswagens turned into drifts along Commonwealth Avenue and the MBTA’s third rail frozen like a hunk of raw meat.A storm does not even begin to qualify as a whoomper unless Logan Airport is shut down for a minimum of six hours.【3】好吧,小雪令人厭惡。我想要實實在在的東西,包括大眾汽車成了聯邦大道的漂浮物,波士頓市運輸局的第三條軌道像一大塊生肉一樣被凍住了。除非洛根機場至少關閉六個小時,否則這一場風暴根本配不上稱作吶喊者。
【4】The point is, whoompers teach us a lesson.Or rather several lessons.For one thing, here are all these city folks who pride themselves on their instinct for survival, and suddenly they cannot bear to venture into the streets because they are afraid of being swallowed up.Virtual prisoners in their own houses is what they are.In northern New England, the natives view nights such as this with casual indifference, but let a whoomper hit Boston and the locals are not only knee deep in snow but also in befuddlement and disarray.【4】關鍵是,吶喊者們給了我們一個教訓。或者幾個教訓。一方面,所有的城里人為他們的生存本能感到自豪,霎時間,他們不能忍受街道上的風險因為害怕被吞沒。他們就好像是自己房子里的囚犯。在新英格蘭的北部,當地人對這樣的夜晚習以為常,但是讓一位吶喊者襲擊波士頓,居民不僅深陷雪中而且陷入困境和混亂。
【5】The lesson? That there is something more powerful out there than the sacred metropolis.It is not unlike the message we can read into the debacle of the windows falling out of the John Hancock Tower;just when we think we’ve got the upper hand on the elements, we find out we are flies and someone else is holding the swatter.Whoompers keep us in our place.【5】教訓?那里有比神圣的大都市更強大的東西。這與我們可以從約翰?漢考克大廈掉落下來的崩潰信息沒什么不同;正當我們自認為凌駕于風雨之上時,才發現我們只是滄海一粟,另有高人將我們玩弄于股掌之間。吶喊者們將我們困在原地。
【6】They also slow us down, which is not a bad thing for urbania these days.Frankly, I’m of the opinion Logan should be closed periodically, snow or not, in tribute to the lurking suspicion that it may not be all that necessary for a man to travel at a speed of 600 miles per hour.In a little while I shall go forth into the streets and I know what I will find.People will actually be walking, and the avenues will be bereft of cars.It will be something like those marvelous photographs of Back Bay during the nineteenth century, wherein the lack of clutter and traffic makes it seem as if someone has selectively airbrushed the scene.【6】他們也使我們放慢了速度,如今對于烏爾巴尼亞來說不是一件壞事。坦率地講,為了向潛在的懷疑致敬,即可能不是每個人都必須以每小時600英里的速度行走,我認為不管下不下雪,洛根應該定期關門。我應該去街道上走上一小會兒就能知道自己尋找什么。實際上人們將要行走,大道上沒有車子。如同19世紀巴克灣那些
【7】And, of course, there will be the sound of silence tonight.It will be almost deafening.I know city people who have trouble sleeping in the country because of the lack of noise, and I suspect this is what bothers many of them about whoompers.Icy sidewalks and even fewer parking spaces we can handle, but please, God, turn up the volume.City folks tend not to believe in anything they can’t hear with their own ears.【8】It should also be noted that nights such as this are obviously quite pretty, hiding the city’s wounds beneath a clean white dressing.But it is their effect on the way people suddenly treat each other that is most fascinating, coming as it does when city dwellers are depicted as people of the same general variety as those New Yorkers who stood by when Kitty Genovese was murdered back in 1964.【9】There’s nothing like a good whoomper to get people thinking that everyone walking towards them on the sidewalk might not be a mugger, or that saying hello is not necessarily a sign of perversion.You would think that city people, more than any other, would have a strong sense of being in the same rough seas together, yet it is not until a quasi catastrophe hits that many of them stop being lone sharks.【10】But enough of this.There’s a whoomper outside tonight, and it requires my presence.

The plane arcs softly into its final descent at Hong Kong International Airport.Below, Victoria Harbor, and the silent rhythms of countless ships.Beyond, sloping mountains fence in a breathtaking city view that seems to stretch forever.This is no ordinary airport.This is no ordinary city.An elderly man passes by wearing pajamas, bearing a brightly feathered bird singing merrily in its cage.Professional gather at a roadside kitchen for noodles, congee and shrimp.Incense from s tiny Taoist temple drifts into the pounding beat of rock music pouring out of a discotheque.A ferry travels on the nearby water regularly, taking passengers to an isolated island 40 minutes away, where Buddhist temples and tiny fishing villages dot the landscape, Hong Kong.Here, 161 km south of the Tropic of Cancer, beats the pulse of Southeast Asia’s heart.Where East greets West, and past colors present.飛機輕輕地進入香港國際機場做最后的下降。這下面的維多利亞港,停靠著無數沉默伴奏的船只。除此之外,傾斜的山圍欄有一個驚人的城市,似乎永遠伸展。這絕不是普通的機場,這也絕不是普通的城市。一位上了年紀的人仍穿著睡衣,手里拎著有一個籠子,有只明亮羽毛的鳥在里歡快的歌唱。還有些專業的餐館聚集在一個路邊,面條,粥和蝦。香而窄的有小小的寺廟直至還有一片有沖擊搖滾音樂的節拍傾瀉而出的一個迪斯科舞廳。定期渡輪行駛在附近的海面上,把乘客帶到一個孤島上,40分鐘的路程,佛教寺廟和小漁村點綴的景觀,這里就是香港,北回歸線以南161公里,東南亞跳動的脈搏的心臟。映入眼簾的是東西的文化和新舊色彩的全新呈現。
