英文原版对话1000个:970 Foot Traffic

（单词翻译）

Tu: Do you travel by car in Iran?

Amir: Well, you know, when I was in Iran it was just like your case. I felt like this is natural. This is how I saw the traffic. This was how it is supposed to work. When you go abroad, and like me right now, I'm living abroad, then I go back to Iran, I cannot drive with the flows again just like before. It is very difficult for me. At first, I become very much like foreigners and get mad at every mistake, you know, every illegal¹ moves you know, other Iranians are doing, so but after awhile I get the hang of it, so then I learn how to really my get work done.

Tu: Following it.

Amir: Following it. Yeah.

Tu: Well, actually, one thing in Vietnam⁴, one thing typical to Vietnamese traffic is people cross the road anyway they want.

Amir: Yeah.

Amir: Ah, crosswalk!

Tu: Yeah, yep, that one. We don't cross the road there. We just cross the road whenever we want and wherever we want.

Amir: Oh, I see. So what happens in case of an accident, if the car hits a passerby⁵?

Tu: You know, actually, one of the amazing things is we never got hit by that.

Amir: Never?

Tu: And foreigners look amazed⁶ at it. Like, they just can't believe it. They just don't know why. How come people cross the road without ... but actually we just look slowly, slowly, one-by-one, and we even cross in front of a car. It's pretty normal for us. It's easy though if you get used to it
