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

大家好,我是卡尔·阿祖兹,欢迎收看分心驾驶的第二部分。

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.

昨天凯利·华莱士的报道让你了解了分心驾驶所带来的问题,以及可能对司机以及受害者所带来的影响。但是这种现象并不会马上消失。尽管美国46各州以及首都华盛顿都明令禁止开车发送短信,可是人们还是照样那么做

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

今天我们看一下为什么技术本身可能会成为解决问题的办法。

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

大多数人承认,开车发短信是非常危险的行为,但是他们还是继续做。为什么呢?

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

专家表示这是因为,这些智能设备具有让人上瘾的特征,同时我们的大脑又会本能的对其发出的响声作出反应。

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.

这就像在一个聚会上一样。当有人拍你的肩膀的时候,你就会向周围看。这就跟你听得响声的原理是一样的。只不过,现在你正在驾驶,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.

在车祸改变劳拉·莫伊雷尔的生活之前,这位母亲试图忽略短信来时发出的声音,但是最终还是被声音所吸引。

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.

这并不像我坐在车里,想着我会开车时分心,然后会撞到别人。这并不是我要做的。

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.

看手机短信导致莫伊雷尔在爱荷华州农村撞上了一辆拖拉机,然后导致一位75岁的老人死亡。

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

她之所以对短信声音作出反应,是因为,她有一种回复的冲动。

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.

大卫·格林菲尔德博士是互联网和技术中心的创始人。他说,我们大多数人可能会做同样的事情,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.

保守估计,约有60%到70%的人会以同样的频率做这件事。这是什么意思?这意味着它只是俄罗斯轮盘赌,有些人会发生车祸,有些人可能被撞死,有些人可能会撞死或者撞伤别人。

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

所以,这是一个大问题吗?我认为它是。我认为这是一个公共卫生问题吗?是的,我也这么认为。
