“Here’s the scenario,” the instructor announced to his class of novice truck drivers. “You’re in an 18-wheeler with a heavy load, barreling down a mountainous two-lane highway.
“设想有这样一种情况，”指导老师对班里的卡车司机新手大声说道，“你开着一辆18 轮载重卡车，沿着双行道山区公路行驶。
Ed, your co-driver, is asleep. There are six trucks behind you, and as you come over the top of a hill, they pull out beside you to pass. Suddenly, you see several trucks coming in the opposite direction, pulling into your lane to pass. What do you do?”
副司机埃德正在睡觉，你身后有六辆卡车。而当你爬上一个山坡时，他们要从你旁边超过去。突然，你看到好几辆卡车从对面方向开过来，进入你的车道要超车。你怎么办？”

“That’s simple,” a student called out. “I’ll wake Ed up.”
“那很简单，”一个学生大声说道，“我就叫醒埃德。”
“Why would you do that?” asked the instructor.
“你为什么要那样做呢？”指导老师问道。
“Because,” replied the student, “Ed has never seen a truck wreck like this before!”
“因为埃德以前从来没见过这样的卡车车祸。”那个学生回答说。
