1. 你在一辆大卡车正后方的停车线处,无法看到它的后视镜。这个位置意味着什么?
You are driving a car directly behind a large truck at a stop line and cannot see its mirrors. What does that position mean?
- 你处于卡车的跟车距离盲区 / You are in the truck's blind spot for following distance
- 卡车驾驶员必须为你向前移动 / The truck driver is required to move forward for you
- 你处于最安全的距离 / You are at the safest possible distance
- 大型车辆正后方的区域其驾驶员看不到——如果你看不到后视镜中的驾驶员,驾驶员也看不到你 / The area immediately behind a large vehicle is not visible to its driver — if you cannot see the driver in the mirrors, the driver cannot see you 正确答案
大型车辆的两侧和后方视野严重受限;其他车辆只能通过后视镜看到,而车辆正后方的区域驾驶员根本看不到。应停留在大型车辆驾驶员能看到你的位置。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Visibility to the sides and rear of large vehicles is severely limited; other traffic can only be seen by mirrors, and the area to the immediate rear of the vehicle is not visible to the driver. Stay where the large-vehicle driver can see you. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

2. 为什么在大型卡车或公共汽车前方变道、或横过其前方转弯时必须格外小心?
Why must you be especially careful changing lanes in front of, or turning across, a large truck or bus?
- 大型车辆比小汽车刹车更快 / Large vehicles stop faster than cars
- 大型车辆不允许在路口刹车 / Large vehicles are not allowed to brake at intersections
- 卡车永远拥有路权 / Trucks always have the right-of-way
- 大型车辆需要的停车距离比其他车辆更大 / Large vehicles require greater stopping distances than other vehicles 正确答案
大型车辆需要更大的停车距离。变道或在路口时,其他驾驶员和道路使用者必须为大型车辆增加的停车距离留出余地。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Large vehicles require greater stopping distances. When changing lanes or at intersections, other drivers and highway users must make allowances for the increased stopping distance of large vehicles. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

3. 一辆重载卡车在你前方开始下长坡。对卡车驾驶员的专业做法——以及你最佳的应对——是:
A heavily loaded truck ahead of you starts down a long downgrade. Professional practice for that truck driver — and your best response — is:
- 卡车司机在下坡前换入适当的低挡以避免刹车过热;你应警觉并为超车的大型车辆让路 / The trucker shifts to an appropriate lower gear before descending to avoid overheating the brakes; you should be alert and move out of the way of an overtaking large vehicle 正确答案
- 卡车司机全程踩着刹车下坡;你紧跟其后 / The trucker rides the brakes all the way down; you stay close behind
- 卡车司机加速以缩短下坡时间;你也这样做 / The trucker speeds up to shorten the descent; you do the same
- 你们都应在坡顶停车等待 / Both of you should stop at the top and wait
下坡时持续刹车会使刹车失效,对大型车辆更危险。大型车辆驾驶员应在下陡坡前换入适当的低挡;其他驾驶员应警觉超车的大型车辆并为其让路。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Continuous braking on downgrades makes brakes ineffective, which is more dangerous with large vehicles. Large-vehicle drivers should shift to an appropriate lower gear before descending a steep hill, and other drivers should be alert to overtaking large vehicles and move out of their way.

4. 在有风的日子里超越一辆快速行驶的半挂车时,你的小车被横向推了一下。是什么造成的?你应做好什么准备?
Passing a fast-moving semi-trailer on a windy day, your small car is pushed sideways for a moment. What caused this, and what should you be ready to do?
- 轮胎在漏气;立即停车 / A tire is going flat; stop immediately
- 挂车的刹车在拖滞;鸣笛警告驾驶员 / The trailer's brakes are dragging; honk to warn the driver
- 尾流——大型车辆的气流足以改变小型车辆的方向,因此要准备好修正方向 / The slipstream — wind gusts from the large vehicle can change the direction of smaller vehicles, so be ready to make corrective steering inputs 正确答案
- 路面损坏;报告后继续直行 / Road damage; report it and keep driving straight
快速行驶的大型车辆会产生尾流:其气流力量足以改变小型车辆的方向。小型车辆驾驶员在接近或超越它们时应准备好采取正确的方向修正。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Large fast-moving vehicles cause a slipstream: wind gusts with force great enough to cause direction changes in smaller vehicles. Drivers of smaller vehicles should be prepared to take proper corrective steering action when approaching or passing them. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

- 在汽车两侧安装尺寸合适的外后视镜 / Outside rear-view mirrors of proper size on both sides of the car 正确答案
- 一位乘客帮你看后面 / A passenger to watch behind you
- 凸面镜是可选的,所以不需要额外的东西 / Convex mirrors are optional, so nothing extra
如果你的挂车大到挡住车内后视镜的视线,你必须在汽车两侧安装尺寸合适的外后视镜。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
If your trailer is large enough to obstruct your view through your inside rear-view mirror, you must have outside rear-view mirrors of proper size on both sides of your car. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

6. 被牵引的挂车在什么情况下必须有自己的刹车和脱离保护装置?
When must a towed trailer have its own brakes and breakaway protection?
- 仅限运载危险品的挂车 / Only trailers carrying hazardous materials
- 当装载后的挂车重量超过牵引车辆重量的一半,或达到3,000磅或以上时 / When the loaded trailer weighs more than half the weight of the towing vehicle, or is 3,000 pounds or more 正确答案
- 仅在高速公路上 / Only on freeways
- 所有挂车,无论重量 / All trailers, regardless of weight
如果装载后的挂车重量超过牵引车辆重量的一半,或达到3,000磅或以上,挂车必须配备刹车和脱离保护装置。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
If your loaded trailer weighs more than half the weight of the towing vehicle or is 3,000 pounds or more, the trailer must be equipped with brakes and breakaway protection. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

7. 挂车的安全链必须如何连接?
How must trailer safety chains be attached?
- 连接到挂车挂钩的任何部位 / To any part of the trailer hitch
- 只能连到牵引车辆的保险杠上 / Only to the bumper of the towing vehicle
- 如果挂钩有锁销,安全链是可选的 / Chains are optional if the hitch has a locking pin
- 连接到牵引车辆的车架和挂车的车架——不得连接到挂车挂钩的任何部位 / To the frame of the towing vehicle and the frame of the trailer — not to a part of the trailer hitch 正确答案
安全链必须连接到牵引车辆和挂车的车架上,不得连接到挂车挂钩的任何部位。任何挂车都不要依赖保险杠挂钩。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Safety chains must be attached to the frame of the towing vehicle and the trailer, and not connected to a part of the trailer hitch. Do not rely on bumper hitches for any trailer. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

8. 挂车在你车后左右摆动(“鱼尾”摆动)。根据手册,与装载有关的一个可能原因是:
A trailer sways side to side ("fishtails") behind your car. Per the manual, a likely cause related to loading is:
- 挂钩上的重量太小——挂车重量的约10%至15%应压在挂钩上 / Too little weight on the hitch — about 10% to 15% of the trailer's weight should rest on the hitch 正确答案
- 挂钩上的重量太大 / Too much weight on the hitch
- 挂车颜色不对 / The trailer is painted the wrong color
- 安全链太短 / The safety chains are too short
挂车重量的约10%至15%应压在车辆的挂钩上。重量太大将难以转向;太小则挂车会“鱼尾”摆动。不要超载,并固定好货物。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
About 10% to 15% of the trailer weight should be on the vehicle's trailer hitch. If the weight is too great you will have difficulty steering; if it is too small, the trailer will fishtail. Do not overload the trailer, and secure the load. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

9. 你前方的一名摩托车骑手不断在车道内变换位置——左、中、右。你应该理解什么并怎么做?
A motorcyclist ahead of you keeps shifting position within the lane — left, then center, then right. What should you understand and do?
- 骑手很粗心;在同一车道内快速超过他 / The rider is being careless; pass quickly in the same lane
- 骑手变换车道位置是为了看见别人并被别人看见,并避开坑洼等危险;摩托车有权使用整条车道的宽度,所以绝不要与它共用车道 / Riders change lane position to see and be seen and to avoid hazards like potholes; a motorcycle is entitled to the full width of the lane, so never share the lane with it 正确答案
- 骑手每次都在示意转弯 / The rider is signalling a turn each time
- 驶入骑手的车道给他一个警告 / Move into the rider's lane to give them a warning
摩托车骑手在车道内调整位置是为了看见别人并被别人看见,并拉开与坑洼、铁轨等危险的距离——有时会突然变换。摩托车有权使用整条车道的宽度;不要与摩托车共用车道。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Motorcyclists position themselves in the lane to see and be seen, and shift position to increase distance from hazards such as potholes or railroad tracks — sometimes suddenly. Motorcycles are allowed the full width of a lane; refrain from sharing a lane with a motorcyclist. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

10. 前方一辆摩托车的左转灯在很长一段直路上一直闪烁。为什么你不应急于断定骑手即将转弯?
A motorcycle ahead has its left turn signal blinking for a long stretch of straight road. Why should you be cautious about assuming the rider is about to turn?
- 摩托车转向灯不会自动关闭,骑手有时会忘记关掉——在进入其行驶路线前,要先确认骑手的真实意图 / Motorcycle turn signals do not automatically shut off, and riders occasionally forget to cancel them — be sure of the rider's intention before moving into their path 正确答案
- 摩托车信号灯只是装饰 / Motorcycle signals are decorative only
- 骑手必须提前整整一英里打信号 / The rider is required to signal for one full mile
- 摩托车上闪烁的信号表示骑手要停车 / A blinking signal on a motorcycle means the rider is stopping
摩托车的转向灯不会自动关闭,骑手偶尔会在转弯后忘记关掉。在动作明确开始之前,不要推测骑手的意图。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
Turn signals do not automatically shut off on a motorcycle, and riders occasionally forget to cancel them after a turn. Do not assume a rider's intention until the maneuver is unmistakably started. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

11. 跟随摩托车时,手册规定了多大的跟车距离?为什么还应考虑留更多空间?
When following a motorcycle, what following distance does the manual specify, and why should you consider even more space?
- 至少2秒的跟车距离;留更多空间是因为摩托车的速度和距离难以判断 / At least a 2-second following distance; more space helps because a motorcycle's speed and distance are hard to judge 正确答案
- 一辆车长;摩托车停得慢 / One car length; motorcycles stop slowly
- 摩托车没有特别的距离规定 / No special distance applies to motorcycles
- 整整一分钟的跟车距离 / A full minute of following distance
在摩托车后方行驶时,至少保持2秒的跟车距离,让骑手有空间在紧急情况下机动或停车;并应加大空间,因为驾驶员难以判断摩托车的速度和距离。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
When driving behind a motorcycle, allow at least a 2-second following distance so the cyclist has room to maneuver or stop in an emergency, and increase the space because motorists have difficulty judging a motorcycle's speed and distance. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

12. 在双车道道路上应如何超越摩托车?
How must you pass a motorcycle on a two-lane road?
- 短暂挤进同一车道——摩托车体积小 / Crowd into the same lane briefly — motorcycles are small
- 从右侧路肩通过 / Pass on the right shoulder
- 并行时持续鸣笛 / Honk continuously while alongside
- 给摩托车留出整条车道;绝不挤进它的车道,也不要过早返回你的车道,那会迫使骑手向右猛拐进入车流或驶离道路 / Allow the motorcycle a full lane; never crowd into its lane, and do not return to your lane too soon, which can force the rider to swerve right into traffic or off the road 正确答案
超越摩托车时,应给它留出整条车道,绝不挤进同一车道。过早返回原车道会迫使骑手向右猛拐,进入车流或驶离道路。(第十一章——卡车、公共汽车和摩托车)
When passing a motorcycle, allow a full lane to the motorcycle and never crowd into the same lane. Returning to the original lane too soon can force a rider to swerve to the right into traffic or off the road. (Chapter XI — Trucks, Buses and Motorcycles)

13. 一名手持白色手杖的人在街区中间走上道路,而你的信号灯是绿灯。你必须怎么做?
A person with a white cane is stepping into the roadway mid-block while your light is green. What must you do?
- 通行——绿灯赋予你路权 / Proceed — the green light gives you the right-of-way
- 无论交通信号或交通状况如何,都必须为这名盲人停车 / Stop for the blind person regardless of the traffic signal indication or traffic situation 正确答案
- 鸣笛后从其身后缓慢通过 / Honk and pass slowly behind them
- 只有当他们在标示的人行横道内时才让行 / Yield only if they are in a marked crosswalk
对所有在道路上的盲人——以白手杖或导盲犬为标识——无论交通信号显示或交通状况如何,都必须停车。(第十二章——行人安全)
Stop for all blind persons in the roadway — identified by a white cane or a guide dog — regardless of the traffic signal indication or traffic situation. (Chapter XII — Pedestrian Safety)

- 减速至10英里/小时就可以 / Allowed if you slow to 10 mph
- 如果你能越过SUV看到前方就可以 / Allowed if you can see over the SUV
- 为保持交通顺畅必须这样做 / Required to keep traffic moving
- 法律禁止——绝不能超越为让行人过街而停下的车辆 / Prohibited by law — never pass a vehicle stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the street 正确答案
绝不能超越为让行人过街而停下的车辆——这是法律禁止的。同样,禁止驶过行人安全区。(第十二章——行人安全)
Never pass a vehicle stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the street — it is prohibited by law. It is likewise prohibited to drive through a pedestrian safety zone. (Chapter XII — Pedestrian Safety)
