Danica Patrick on What It's Like Driving on the Freeway After Racing · TheEllenShow
丹妮卡·帕特里克分享赛车与日常驾驶的差异，以及她在高速公路上驾驶的感受。适合练习口语和听力理解。
That looks like so much fun.
那看起来一定非常有趣！
Now, I've done that before, and on the track here, but I only got up to 112,
其实我之前也做过类似的事情，就是在这条赛道上；不过那次我只能达到 112 的成绩。
and I panicked.
然后我慌了。
Well, if you add 100, we're still going faster than that.
嗯，即使再加上 100，我们的速度仍然会比那个数值更快。
Yeah, you're going faster than some people I saw on TV earlier on the show.
是的，你的速度比我在节目中早些时候在电视上看到的一些人还要快。
Yeah, I know, they were way too slow.
是的，我知道，它们的速度实在太慢了。
That was crazy.
那简直太疯狂了。
I can give lessons, I charge, but.
我可以提供教学服务，也会收取费用，不过……
I would like you to give me lessons, because I would like to go that fast.
我希望你能给我上课，因为我希望能够尽快达到那个水平（或：我希望你能帮助我快速提高）。
But now, do you draw that fast in your car?
但是现在，你在车里画画的时候还能画得那么快吗？
Like on the road?
比如在路上的时候？
Not that fast, but.
速度没那么快，不过……
Well, not quite yet.
嗯，还不完全是。
They don't go 240, but road cars normally.
普通公路汽车无法达到 240 公里/小时的速度；只有高性能赛车才能做到这一点。
But yeah, I do drive fast in the fast driver.
不过，确实有时候我会在“快速驾驶模式”下开得很快。
I would think a very big comfort zone.
我认为这会是一个非常舒适的“安全区”（即让人感到安心、放松的环境）。
Yeah.
是的。
I would think that even going to help people too.
我认为，即使只是去做这些事情，也能帮助到别人。
80 would be like standing still after you're going 240.
速度从 240 升到 80，就相当于在原本高速运动的状态下突然停下来一样。
Right?
对吧？
Yeah, but it's all relative.
是的，但这一切都是相对的。
It's a little bit relative.
这其实有点相对性（也就是说，具体情况可能因人而异）。
You get out on the freeway, and everybody's doing 70, 80 or so.
当你驶上高速公路时，会发现所有车辆的行驶速度都在70到80公里/小时左右。
And so I do like 85, so just going a little bit faster.
所以我确实挺喜欢速度为 85 的状态，那么就再快一点吧。
Now, just like on the track, just a little bit faster.
现在，就像在赛道上一样——只不过速度要快一点而已。
So you're racing the cars on the road.
那么，你就是在公路上驾驶这些汽车进行比赛了。
You think you have to beat them as well.
你认为自己也必须打败他们才行。
Is that what you're doing?
你就是在做这件事吗？
Absolutely, especially off the line at a red light.
当然可以，尤其是在等红灯的时候（即车辆处于非行驶状态时）。
Somebody else feel like that.
还有其他人也有同样的感受。
You get up there, and you just get that like, hmm.
你爬到那里，然后只是简单地想：“嗯……
You look over, and you're like, you're going down for sure.
你往下一看，就会想：自己肯定要坠下去了。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
That happened on the way here.
那件事发生在我们来这里的路上。
He was pretty mad.
他非常生气。
I bet people that look at you, they do a double take, and they're like, I'm not going to even try.
我敢打赌，那些看到你的人都会愣一下，然后心想：“我根本就不打算尝试了。
But now, if you're going that fast, because like I said, I really did do that in a track out here.
但是现在，如果你真的要以那么快的速度行驶的话……就像我之前说的，我确实在某条赛道上这么做过。
And I got up to 112.
我的成绩提高到了112分。
And I was dizzy.
我感到头晕目眩。
