■gridlock [ˋgrɪd͵lɑk] or1.交通阻塞動彈不得2.(陷入)僵局
■jam [dʒæm] 交通堵塞(=traffice jam)
【口說】One of the key reasons gridlock happens is our inability to maintain a constant speed. When a traffic break happens, most accelerate to catch up to the vehicle ahead, resulting in eventual braking that forces the drivers behind to slow down, only causing the jam to grow.
大塞車的其中一個關鍵因素是我們開車時沒辦法一直維持在同一個速度。當車流中斷時，大多數的車子會紛紛加速跟上前方的車，也因此造成最終得煞車，讓後方的駕駛非減速不可，而這樣只會讓塞車的車陣越來越龐大。
【心得】我覺得車子除了貼新手上路，baby in car 的標示，應該要再加一些"內有惡霸"、"內有三寶"之類的，這樣大家可以閃遠一點，確保行車安全。但我也要說一下我以前也有被超會開車的女同學載過，所以並不是所有女性的開車技術都不好。

gridlock
inability
maintain a constant speed
accelerate
eventual braking

/ 的部分是如果氣不足，可以稍微停頓的地方

One of the key reasons / gridlock happens / is our inability / to maintain a constant speed. When a traffic break happens, most accelerate / to catch up to the vehicle ahead, resulting in eventual braking, that forces the drivers behind / to slow down, only causing the jam to grow.

One of the key reasons gridlock happens is our inability to maintain a constant speed. When a traffic break happens, most accelerate to catch up to the vehicle ahead, resulting in eventual braking, that forces the drivers behind to slow down, only causing the jam to grow.
造成塞車的關鍵因素之一，是我們沒辦法一直維持一樣的速度。當交通狀況發生時，大多數人會加速趕上前車，但最後也會煞車，而使得後車的駕駛也必須減速，就造成車陣愈來愈龐大。

讀到中間traffic break這句時，不是很懂意思。
因為traffic break現多指交通警車刻意介入車流，以疏緩前方交通狀況所導致的回堵。

然後查了下資料，原來就是指人們通常都會有「追尾心態」：加速後又剎車的結果，就是更塞。（維持等速是種理想狀態，因為人們需要反應時間）

所以比蒂先生就提出「保持車距」、「大方讓路」、「切勿搶行」是每位駕駛可以做到的，來避免塞車。

DAY 74

gridlock [ˋgrɪd͵lɑk] n. 極端嚴重的交通壅塞（無車能動）

好好笑唷！好朋友ㄧ家早上去掃墓，有點陰雨又在上山塞車，好不容易草除完貢品排好了，爸爸點完香分好正準備插香時....大喊ㄧ聲「唉唷！搞錯墓地了啦！」，全部人不知道該如何處理.....，趕緊收拾好貢品瘋狂找祖先墓地。哈哈哈.......笑死我了啦！幾年前我家也發生過找不到新墓地拜錯人事件。簡直荒唐到了極點⋯⋯哈哈哈哈！結論：掃墓別因為塞車而影響，要除草前請先確定一下^^哈
