看过美国电影Driving Miss Daisy(((为戴茜小姐开车》)的人对backseat driver和take a back seat会有更加清楚的认识。该片曾获得1990年的奥斯卡最佳影片奖。片中的女主角Miss Daisy就是一个典型的backseat driver(包括本义和引申义)。她总是告诉 Hoke(她的司机)该怎么开车,而且还对他的诸多私事指手画脚。后来Hoke只好亮出王牌:我要停车去上厕所。你总不能连我什么时候上厕所都要横加干涉吧?
不妨来看看英文的影片情节回顾: When Hoke pLdls the car over. he finally refuses to take a back seat to Miss Daisy by insisting that she at least is forbidden to tell him when he needs ro go to the bathroom. This effectively shuts Miss Daisy up for a few minutes, though her condition as a backseat driver is basically incurable. 【当Hoke停下车的时候,他他坚持说她至少不能告诉他小姐安静了几分钟,但她的治了。)
