Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.
This is the well-travelled road effect: People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.
The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.
46请将上方短文翻译成中文。
参考译文想想开车走一条非常熟悉的路线。可能是你上班的通勤路、进城的路或回家的路。无论是哪条,你对每一个转弯都了如指掌。在这类行程中,很容易对开车失去专注,几乎不去留意沿途的风景。结果就是,你会觉得这段路程所花的时间比实际要短。
这就是“熟路效应”:人们往往会低估走熟悉路线所需的时间。
这种效应是由我们分配注意力的方式引起的。当我们行驶在一条熟知的路线上时,因为不必太过集中精力,时间似乎流逝得更快。事后回想起来,由于当时没怎么注意,我们对这段旅程记不太清,于是便以为它更短。
解析先理清开篇祈使句主干 Think about driving a route,后接 that’s very familiar 定语及 It could be 的举例并列;Whichever it is 表让步,like the back of your hand 宜成语化为“了如指掌”。难词:well-travelled road effect 宜译“熟路效应”并加引号;allocate our attention 译“分配注意力”;underestimate 对应“低估”。参考译法把 The effect is caused by 被动转主动,把 because we don’t have to concentrate 处理为原因状语,afterwards... assume 拆成“事后回想……于是便以为”,定语从句后置为短句。易失分处:漏译 consequence、perceive 直译成“感知”而不用“觉得”,time seems to flow more quickly 语序生硬。宜用中文短句衔接,勿硬套英文结构。
