Sample Sentences

这倒是。我刚上路那会儿经常被吓得直冒冷汗。上了高架怕追尾，下了高架怕撞人。有些人过马路根本不看有没有斑马线，也不关心红绿灯，想过就过。我有一次就差点儿撞到了一个老人，害得我一个星期都不敢摸方向盘。

That is true. When I first started driving I would often get so freaked out I would break out in a cold sweat. When I got on the elevated road I would worry about getting rear-ended, and when I got off I would worry I was going to hit someone. Some people don’t even look to see if there's a crosswalk when they cross the street and don't pay attention to traffic lights; if they want to cross, they just cross. I nearly hit an elderly person once. I was so scared that I couldn’t even touch a steering wheel for a week.
