很多人喜欢开车，但是开车带来的麻烦也不少，比如上下班高峰期的交通拥堵（traffic jam）、路上遇着的老想超车的road hog（驾车乱抢路的人）、搭你车的back seat driver（爱指点司机该怎么开的人）等都很让人抓狂。我们来看看英语里怎么描述这些烦心事吧！

Many cities are clogged by traffic jams so it is no surprise that road rage is becoming a real problem.

很多城市都有交通拥堵的问题，所以“路怒症”现在越来越普遍也就不足为奇了。

One of my friends is a terrible back seat driver. He is always telling me how to drive; in fact he drives me round the bend with his criticism.

我的一个朋友是一个很惹人厌的“后座司机”，他总是在后座指手画脚，告诉你该怎么开车。他的指点真让我抓狂。

I like to be in the driving seat and if a back seat driver annoys me too much, I turn round and say: "What are you driving at? You are driving me up the wall with all your stupid remarks!"

我喜欢掌控一切，所以如果有人在后座不同地指手画脚时，我就会转过头去说：“你到底想干嘛？！你那些愚蠢的指指点点快把我逼疯了！”

All this bickering has, I'm afraid, driven a wedge between us. However I feel I have to drive home to him how sensitive I am to snide comments about my personal abilities.

这些争吵恐怕会让我们的关系产生裂痕。但是我还是觉得我得让他明白我对这些怀疑我个人能力的评论很敏感。
