许多大学生选择利用暑假的机会来学开车，考驾照。虽然天气十分炎热,但学生们的学习热情依然丝毫不减。暑期学车考证又有哪些注意事项呢？一起来看看吧！

During the summer vacation, some students choose to climb mountains, some volunteer, and some think learning how to drive a car is a vital skill for their future. But with tough weather conditions, tough driving instructors and even tougher requirements for getting a license, students not only learn a skill but also a lesson for life.

暑假期间，有些学生选择爬山消遣，有些去当志愿者，而有些学生则选择学开车，他们认为开车是将来的一项重要技能。然而，他们需要面对糟糕的天气，严厉的教练以及要求更为严格的驾照考试。对他们来说，学车，更多的是一次人生历练。

Endurance test

耐力测试

Zhang Li, 19, a sophomore majoring in botany at Yunnan University, nearly lost confidence when he learned to drive at a local driving school.

19岁的张力(音译）是来自云南大学植物学专业的一名大二学生。当他在当地一所驾校学开车时，自信心受到严重打击。

“The driving instructor easily got angry about my performance. A lot of students want to learn how to drive in the summer vacation and let’s face it, we make a lot of rookie mistakes, which really gets on their nerves,” says Zhang.

张力说：“教练总是对我的表现很生气。很多学生暑假扎堆学车，加上我们新手常会犯错误，让教练很是头疼。”

But the constant criticism made Zhang feel bad about himself, as if he was too stupid to learn how to drive. Through his parents’ advice, however, he started seeing it as an endurance test.

教练屡次的批评，让张力失去了信心，他感觉自己真的很笨。然而父母的一席话却让他重拾信心，他开始将学车看成是一次耐力考验。

“It will be important to keep calm at all times when driving on public roads in the future, so I think it’s a good preparation,” says Zhang.

张力说：“将来上路开车时一直保持平和的心态很重要，所以这次学车是一次很好的锻炼。”

Vital checks

生命的考验

Wei Ruolin, 22, a senior majoring in law at Sun Yat-sen University, was one of the many students at the driving school this summer waiting patiently for her lesson to begin. But when Wei finally got behind the wheel next to the instructor, she almost caused an accident.

22岁的魏若琳（音译）是中山大学法律系专业的大四学生。她也是今年暑假苦等学车的学生之一。但是，当她终于能坐在教练旁边的驾驶位时，却险些酿成车祸。

“I forgot to check the position of the rear- and side-view mirrors before I started driving. I couldn’t see anything on both sides as the mirrors were folded in. I tried to adjust them while driving, but I nearly lost control of the car as I was distracted. It was very dangerous,” Wei says.

魏若琳说：“开车前我忘记检查汽车的后视镜了。两边的后视镜折起来了，所以我什么也看不到。开车中我试着调整，但一分神车子就差点失去了控制。真是太危险了。”

When you get into the driving seat, don’t hurry to start the engine, but check everything and make any necessary adjustments before moving off.

当你坐在驾驶席上时，不要急于发动汽车，而是要在开车前先检查一边并做出相应的调整。

Difficult rules

令人头疼的交规

Huang Shunlin, 22, a senior majoring in management at Central China Normal University, failed the test for traffic rules three times, even though the majority of the test is based on common sense. But then Huang thought of how many points he would lose on his driving license and the money he would be fined if he kept violating the traffic rules and didn’t learn them well.

22岁的黄顺林（音译）是华中师范大学管理系的一名大四学生。尽管交规考试试题都是一些常识，但是他三次都没有通过。黄顺林想，要是自己一直违反交规，不认真学习，将来会被扣分并罚款。

“I didn’t pay much attention to the test at first and failed it several times,” says Huang. “When I finally treated it like a real test and prepared with my friend’s help, it was easy and I learned many things to keep me safe on the road.”

黄顺林说：“起初，对考试我没太当回事，挂了好几次。当我开始认真对待，并得到朋友帮助的时候，我认识到考试其实并不难，而且我学到了很多道路安全驾驶的相关知识。”
