If you've ever driven a car on an icy road in winter time, you know that it can be very dangerous. Driving on an icy road is much more dangerous than driving on a dry road. The reason is that there is less friction on an icy road.
如果你在冬季结冰的道路上驾驶过汽车，你一定指导这是件非常危险的事。在结冰的道路上行驶比在干燥的道路上行驶更加危险。原因是在结冰的道路上摩擦变小。
So when you drive a car on an icy road, it's more difficult to keep control of the car. On an icy road the car will tend to slide, so it's important to know how to stop the car from sliding -- from going out of control. It's important to know what to do if the car begins to slide.
因而，当在结冰的道路上驾驶汽车时，要想保持对汽车的控制会更加困难。在结冰的道路上，汽车容易打滑，所以，重要的是要知道如何使汽车停止打滑，以免失控。重要的是要知道如果汽车开始打滑我们该怎么办。
The engine of the car gives power to the back wheels of the car, so the back of the car will tend to slide. When the back of the car begins to slide, the driver will naturally try to stop the car. Many drivers will try to stop the car by stepping down hard on the brakes. This is a bad thing to do because stopping the wheels quickly will make the car slide even further and faster. So obviously, stepping down on the brakes is a bad thing to do.
汽车的发动机是为后轮提供动力，所以汽车的后部容易滑动。当汽车后部开始滑动时，驾驶员自然会尝试停止汽车。许多驾驶员会试图通过大踩刹车来停车。这样做是不正确的，因为立即刹车会使汽车滑动的更远更快。所以很明显，大踩刹车是错误的。
When the back of the car begins to slide, many drivers also try to reverse the slide by turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction, in the opposite direction of the way the back of the car is sliding. For example, if the back of the car is sliding to the right, the driver might naturally try to turn the steering wheel to the left. However, the steering wheel controls the front wheels of the car, so this would be a mistake. If you turn the wheel to the left, the back of the car will continue sliding to the right, and the car will start moving in a circular motion.
当汽车后部开始滑动时，许多驾驶员还会试图调整方向盘，与汽车后部滑动方向相反。例如，如果汽车后部向右滑动，驾驶员自然会尝试将方向盘向左旋转。但是，方向盘控制着汽车的前轮，所以这其实是错的。如果你将车轮向左旋转，汽车的后部将继续向右滑动，汽车将开始以圆周运动。
So the two most common reactions -- stepping on the brakes and turning in the opposite direction -- are really mistakes.
因此，最常见的两个反应——踩刹车和朝相反的方向转动——事实上都是错误的。
Here's the best way to handle the car if it starts to slide: First, lift your foot from the gas pedal. If you take your foot off the gas pedal, the car will slow down immediately, but it won't add power to the direction of the slide.
如果汽车开始打滑，下面才是最好的处理方法：首先，将脚从油门踏板上抬起。如果将脚从油门踏板上移开，汽车将立即减速，但不会为滑动方向增加动力。
Next, touch the brakes very lightly and then let go. Touch the brakes again lightly and then let go. This repeated action is called "pumping the brakes lightly". This method of slowing down will allow you to slow the car down without adding power to the slide.
接下来，轻踩刹车，然后放开。再次轻踩刹车，然后放开。这种重复的动作被称为“点刹”。这种减速方法可以让你在不增加滑动的情况下使汽车减速。
Third, while you're pumping the brakes gently, turn the steering wheel in the same direction as the slide. For example, if the back of the car slides to the right, turn the steering wheel to the right. By doing this, you'll make the car straight again. You have to keep turning the wheel gently until the car becomes straight, or parallel to the road.
第三，在缓慢踩刹车时，调整方向盘的方向与汽车滑动方向相同。例如，如果汽车后部向右滑动，则将方向盘向右旋转。这样，你将再次使汽车保持直行。你必须保持缓慢转动方向盘，直到汽车变直或与道路平行为止。
By following these three steps, you should be able to keep control of your car if it should happen to slide.
通过遵循这三个步骤，在汽车打滑时你仍然能够控制住汽车。 |
