<p>美国习惯用语-第133讲:<span word="backseat">backseat</span> <span word="driver">driver</span>/<span word="back">back</span>-<span word="up">up</span> <span word="system">system</span></p><p>我们给大家介绍过几个由<span word="back">back</span>这个字组成的习惯用语，例如<span word="backslider">backslider</span>，<span word="backslapper">backslapper</span>等。今天我们再来给大家讲解两个和<span word="back">back</span>这个字有关，而且是非常普遍的俗语。我们首先要给大家讲解的是：<span word="backseat">backseat</span> <span word="Driver">Driver</span>。</p><p><span word="Backseat">Backseat</span>是由 <span word="back">back</span>和<span word="seat">seat</span>这两个字组成的。<span word="Back">Back</span>是背后或后面的意思，<span word="seat">seat</span>就是座位。<span word="Backseat">Backseat</span>两个字合在一起就是指汽车后面一排的座位。<span word="Driver">Driver</span>就是开车的人。那末，坐在后面座位上的人怎么能开车呢?这就是<span word="backseat">backseat</span> <span word="driver">driver</span>作为俗语的意思了。在美国开车出门是许多人每天生活的一部份。开车的技术当然每个人都不一样。一般来说，开车的人都不太喜欢别人给他指指点点，教他怎么开，怎么走。坐在后面的人本来满可以轻松地聊天，看风景，只要开车的人把你带到目的地去不就完了吗?可是，偏偏有的人坐在后面还不甘心，老是要给开车的人不断地提出没有必要的指导，警告和批评。这种人就是：<span word="backseat">backseat</span> <span word="driver">driver</span>。我们先来给大家举个例子：</p><p>例句-1: "<span word="Honey">Honey</span>, <span word="why">why</span> <span word="don">don</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="pass">pass</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="car">car</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="front">front</span> -- <span word="he">he</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="slow">slow</span>! <span word="Look">Look</span> <span word="out">out</span> -- <span word="do">do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="car">car</span> <span word="coming">coming</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="side">side</span> <span word="street">street</span>! <span word="Oh">Oh</span>, <span word="oh">oh</span>, <span word="better">better</span> <span word="slow">slow</span> <span word="down">down</span>: <span word="the">the</span> <span word="light">light</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="turning">turning</span> <span word="red">red</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="ahead">ahead</span>!"</p><p>这是一个丈夫在车子里对正在开车的妻子讲话。他说："亲爱的，你超过前面那辆车吧，他开的太慢。当心，注意旁边那条街里开出来的那辆车。得了，得了，慢点开吧，前面的路灯刚变红。"</p>
