Study: Smiling at drivers helps you cross the road faster

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：行人過馬路對司機(jī)微笑更安全

Smiling at drivers helps pedestrians to cross the road as quickly as possible, according to a recent study released by the University of Southern Brittany in France.

根據(jù)法國南布列塔尼大學(xué)最新一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，行人對司機(jī)微笑可幫助更快過馬路。

Researchers conducted the survey with 1,200 drivers. The results show that when the female pedestrians smiled at male drivers at a crossroads, 72 percent of drivers stopped their vehicles and let the pedestrian pass. However, if the pedestrian was male and did not smile, only 38 percent of drivers did so.

這項(xiàng)調(diào)查研究覆蓋1200位司機(jī)。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，在過馬路十字路口時(shí)，女性行人對司機(jī)微笑，72%的司機(jī)會停車并讓行人通過。然而如果是男性行人并且沒有微笑，那只有38%的司機(jī)會停車讓行。

When not at a crossroads, 36 percent of male drivers stopped their cars and let smiling female pedestrians pass. However, only 9 percent of unsmiling male pedestrians received this friendly gesture.

如果不是在十字路口，只有36%的司機(jī)會給微笑的女行人停車讓行。然而不微笑的男性行人只有9%可以收到此厚待。

Conversely, if the drivers were female, nearly 40 percent stopped to let the male pedestrians pass, but the number dropped to 18 percent for male pedestrians without a smile.

相反，如果司機(jī)是女性，近40%的司機(jī)會對男性行人讓行，但是對于不微笑的男性行人，只有18%會獲得讓行待遇。
