Why do American mail carriers sit on the right side of the car?  为什么美国的邮差都是坐在邮车的右测?

 

(A) Because it's more convenient for them.  因为这对他们比较方便。

(B) Because the right seat is more comfortable.  因为这对他们比较方便。

(C) Because they can drive faster if they sit on the right side.  因为如果他们坐在右测的话可以开得比较快。

 

 Just like in Taiwan, American drivers sit on the left side of the car. However, American mail carriers have special cars, Grumman Long Life Vehicles(LLV). In these cars, the driver's seat is on the right side. This makes it more convenient to deliver mail. Mail carriers don't have to get out of the LLV and walk around to put letters in the mailbox. Instead, they can stay in their seat and still reach the mailbox. This allows them to save a lot of time and deliver mail to people more quickly!

 

答案是:(A) 因为这对他们比较方便。

正如同台湾,美国的驾驶都坐在车子的左测。然而,美国的邮差却拥有特殊设计的邮车-格拉曼长寿车(Grumman LLV) 。在这些车子里头,驾驶座是安置在右测,这让投递信件变得更加方便;邮差不需要走出邮车并绕过车身来投递信件,而是待在位子上就可以伸手构到信箱。这可以帮助他们节省大量的时间,并更迅速地把信件交到人们的手中。
