柯帕斯-高考英语真题翻译-2022-新全国卷Ⅱ-阅读理解C
Over
the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public
service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put
down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
翻译：在过去的七年里，大多数州都禁止司机发短信，一些公共服务活动也尝试了各种方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。
Yet
the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans
are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking
photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
翻译：然而，无论怎样来看，这个问题似乎都在不断恶化。美国人仍然在开车时发短信、使用社交网络和拍照。多年来一直在下降的交通事故，现在正在急剧上升。
That
is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted (分心)
driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.”
翻译：其中部分原因是人们开车的机会越来越多，但国家公路交通安全管理局局长马克·罗斯金说，分心驾驶“只增不减，这是很不幸的”。
“Big
change requires big ideas,” he said in a speech last month, referring broadly
to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern
behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old
approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
翻译：他在上个月的一次演讲中从总体上提到了改善道路安全的必要性，他说：“大的改变需要大的构想。”因此，为了试图改变一种极为现代的行为，立法者和公共卫生专家正在沿用一种老办法：他们希望像对待酒后驾驶一样对待分心驾驶。
An
idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called
the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a
crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check
in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine
whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not
allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws.
翻译：来自纽约立法者的一个想法是，为交警提供一种叫“文本分析器”的新设备。它的工作原理是这样的：到达交通事故现场的交警可以要求查看司机的手机，并使用“文本分析器”检查其操作系统中的最近活动。这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件，或者做了纽约免提驾驶法规不允许做的其他事情。
“We
need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said
Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by
drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to be
more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”
翻译：费利克斯·W·奥尔蒂斯说：“我们需要将一些能改变人们行为的东西写入法律。”他推动了该州2001年对司机使用手持设备的禁令。他说，如果“文本分析器”法案成为法律，“人们会更害怕拿起手机。”
