2012年自考英语一试题精选（14）
将下列短文译成汉语。
When I rode the subway in Washington D. C., I took the escalator (传送带式电梯) to go up to ground level, like I always do in Beijing. What was different was that all the people stood to the right of the escalator, which was the width of two people standing side by side, so the left side was left open.
At first, I didnt notice this and stood on the left side; Sonia corrected me at once. She pointed down the escalator and said: “ Look, someones in a real hurry! ” Then I saw a young man run up along the stairs with heavy steps.
It is a commonly accepted rule —— those who move more slowly should leave a path for those in a hurry. People who have urgent things to do dont have the patience to stand on the slowly moving escalator; they prefer to add their own speed to the escalators.
Standing on the right side, with people running by frequently, I thought this was a really nice rule. Think about it: without this rule, people would stand on the escalator at random. Even if the people rushing up were to cry “ Excuse me ” all the way, who knows how many people would be knocked over?

我从华盛顿的地铁车站上来，乘的是在北京已是司空见惯的传送带式电梯。不同的是，在宽度仅容两人并排站下的电梯上，人们全站在右侧，左边留出了一条通道。
一开始我未加注意，站到了左侧，同行的索妮娅赶紧让我站过来，指着下面说： “瞧，急性子跑过来了。”只见一个年轻人噔噔噔地顺着台阶跑上来，直奔顶端。
原来，这里有个约定俗成的规定：步履从容的人要给快节奏者留出通道。有急事的人往往等不及缓缓移动的传送带，便不惜付出体力，将自身的速度叠加在电梯速度上。
我站在右侧，看着身边不时跑过的人，心想，这真是个不错的规矩。试想无此约定，人们随意站满了电梯，有急事的人要想跑上，即使一路高喊 “劳驾” ，也不知要碰倒多少人呢。
