老外在中国：低头一秒，家毁人亡！

I am astounded by the number of my fellow cyclists and also scooter riders who I see not only carrying on phone conversations but also only reading text on their phones. Their heads are down, eyes transfixed by a small luminous screen, oblivious to the world they’re rushing toward.

让我十分震惊的是，我身边的人无论是骑自行车还是摩托车，我看到有很多人不仅会拿着手机打电话，还会盯着手机看短信。他们低着头，目光神游在那块小小的发光屏里，早已无视身边的世界。

Of course, the faster you’re going, the quicker a distraction can become a tragedy.

当然，人在分心时行驶的越快，悲剧就越容易发生。

Studies show that staring at a cellphone for 3 seconds while driving at 60 kilometers an hour is as dangerous as driving blind for 50 meters, according to Xie Caifeng, a fellow at the research office of Shunyi Court in Beijing, writing in a column published by China Daily last year.

2016年，北京市顺义区人民法院研究室研究员谢彩凤在《中国日报》发表的一篇专栏文章中指出，数据显示，车辆时速60公里的情况下，低头看3秒手机的危险系数相当于盲开50米。

Xie wrote that official statistics showed that “the use of cellphones while driving was the top reason for traffic accidents leading to death in Zhengzhou, Henan province”.
