摘要
我在美国的3个月,从哈佛大学的图书馆回到家里,路上常常要碰到的事情是,每到一个路口,一旦有车,它们必定让人先行。
这是什么道理呢?一般人都说,这是西方人比较“以人为本”。一开始我也这样想,但是后来才知道,其实在他们的交通规则里,有一个“路权”的观念。路权,就是眼前这条路,人人有权,而且这个权利是平等的。
While I stayed in the USA, on my way home from lhe library of Haxvard University, I always found that at every junction vehicles would surely give way to me.
Why did they do so? It's generally believed that westerners take people as the foremost. In the heginning I thought so, hut later I was enlightened that there in their traffic rules is actually such an idea as "1 ight of way"-all people are equal to lake the road.
