49. Are Women Good Drivers? 女人是好的驾驶人吗？

            A: Joe said¹ something funny to me yesterday. I didn't understand him
            at all.
            B: What did² he say?
            A: That I was³ just another women driver.
            B: What were you talking about?
            A: I had⁴ some trouble⁵ with a policeman. I was making a U-turn
            downtown⁶, and he made⁷ an awful⁸ fuss⁹. He didn't give me a ticket,
            though¹⁰.
            B: You were lucky¹¹. What Joe meant was that probably¹² you were in the
            wrong. American men always say that women are bad drivers, even¹³ when
            they're not.

            Notes
            U-turn 将汽车掉头开(在美国城市某些街道上有No U-turn标记，即不准在此将汽车掉头)
            Fuss 大惊小怪
            Ticket 汽车违章罚款单

            A：昨天乔对我说了一些奇怪的话。我全然没有听懂他的意思。
            B：他说了什么？
            A：他说我只不过是又一个女驾车人？
            B：你们在谈论什么来着？
            A：我同一位警察发生点麻烦。我在市中心区把车掉头，他大肆发作。可是他没有给我罚单。
            B：算你运气。乔的意思是说，看来你是做了错事。美国男人总是说女人是蹩脚的驾车人。即使在她们开得并不差的时候
