英國人為何靠左行駛？

Let’s be honest, this question is only phrased this way to appease the two-thirds of the drivers of the world that now drive on the right-hand side of the road. The real question, the question that deserves to be asked, is this: why did everyone else stop driving on the left?

老實說，這個問題（為何英國人靠左行駛）之所以這樣問只是為了安撫全世界2/3靠右行駛的司機。事實上，這個問題的真實問法應該是：為何現(xiàn)在其他人都不靠左行駛了呢？

Taking the left hand side in traffic is a habit that goes back hundreds of years, possibly as far as the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans, but certainly to an era when people habitually carried swords when traveling. As around 85-90% of humans are right-handed, passing on the right-hand side would leave carriage and cart drivers more open to attack from people coming the other way. Knights with lances, squires with knives, peasants with pitchforks, everyone had to be ready for a dust-up at a moment’s notice, and that meant keeping to the left so you could get a good swing at your assailants. Granted, this did mean they were more vulnerable to be attacked from the pavement, but no system is entirely foolproof.

靠左行駛的習慣可追溯到幾百年前，大約遠至古希臘、古埃及和古羅馬時代，就是人們會佩帶刀劍出行的時代。由于85%-90%的人都習慣使用右手，如果靠右行駛，四輪和二輪馬車夫更容易受到相反方向的攻擊。執(zhí)矛騎士、佩刀鄉(xiāng)紳或者抗耙農(nóng)夫，每個人都得隨時準備面對突如其來的襲擊，這意味著靠左行能在關(guān)鍵時刻給對手漂亮一擊。當然了，這也意味著他們更容易受到來自行人的攻擊。不過本來就沒有萬無一失的方法。

In 1773, the British Government introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged horse riders, coachmen and people taking their vegetables to market (while carrying swords) to drive on the left, and that was that. The Highway Act of 1835 later reinforced this, making it the law of the land.

1773年英國政府首次頒布了《普通公路法》(General Highways Act)，鼓勵騎馬者、馬車夫和去集市販賣蔬菜的佩刀行人靠左行。就這樣，在隨后1835年的《公路法》(Highway Act)中再次強調(diào)了這點，至此，靠左行駛就成了這片土地上的明文規(guī)定。

However, things were slightly different elsewhere. Russian authorities, for example, had already noticed that their people tended to favor the right (maybe swords are less of a worry if you have to wear heavy coats all the time), so their first edicts on the topic were that they continue to do so. The pre-revolutionary French were on the left, but having revolted, they moved over as part of a general reordering of all society, and when Napoleon took over the army and began invading nations, he ordered them to stay on the right hand side too. Popular myth suggests this was also because he was left-handed, but there were other advantages; it would prove unsettling for his enemies, it would show him to be a great military tactician, and it would irk the British. Perfect!

然而，世界上其他地方的情況稍有不同。比如，俄羅斯政府已經(jīng)意識到他們的人民更傾向于靠右行（如果你每天都必須穿著厚重的大衣，或許就不會那么擔心刀劍的威脅了）。所以俄羅斯政府頒布的第一條相關(guān)法案就是保持靠右行駛的傳統(tǒng)。革命前的法國也是靠左行駛，不過革命后，作為社會重組的一部分，也改為了靠右行駛。拿破侖掌權(quán)后征服其他國家時也要求軍隊靠右行，據(jù)傳，這也是因為拿破侖本身是個左撇子，不過靠右行確實有其他優(yōu)勢：可以擾亂敵心，可以展示他非凡的軍事謀略，還可以激怒英軍。還有比這更完美的嗎！

Everyone else kept left, but with increasing traffic on the roads in mainland Europe, this began to cause confusion, and slowly, over the course of the next hundred years or so, the European nations began to move over too.

其他人還是保持靠左行駛，不過在歐洲大陸，隨著陸上交通工具的增加，靠左行開始給人帶來困擾，所以在接下來的幾百年里，歐洲國家也慢慢轉(zhuǎn)為靠右行駛。

Also, this divergent approach occurred at a time when the British and the French were very busy colonizing the world. Every country occupied by the Brits—like Australia, New Zealand, India and the West Indies—kept to the left, and the ones occupied by France moved over to the right. The Americas were split, with the new arrivals from Britain, Holland, Spain and Portugal keeping to the left, and the French colonies insisting on the right.

而且，這種分歧發(fā)生在英法兩國忙于在全球范圍內(nèi)開拓殖民地的時候。英國的殖民地，比如澳大利亞、新西蘭、印度和西印度群島繼續(xù)保留靠左行駛的方式，而法國的殖民地則靠右行駛。美國則被一分為二，法國殖民者堅持靠右走，而新來的英國、荷蘭、西班牙和葡萄牙殖民者又保持靠左行駛。

However, two vehicles were about to force this situation to change. In the late 1700s freight wagons (including the great Conestoga wagons) became more and more popular, particularly in America. These were pulled by a chain of horses, arranged in pairs. The best place to sit in order to control these mighty beasts was on the back of the left-hand horse at the back, so you could whip the others with your right hand. With the postilion driver in position, the best way for one wagon to pass another without accidentally banging wheels was the right hand side of the road. And where the wagons went, everyone else followed. So driving on the right became more common.

然而，新興的兩種交通工具改變了這種格局。18世紀末期貨運馬車（包括康內(nèi)斯托加式寬輪篷車）越來越流行，尤其是在美國。這類貨車是由并排的兩列馬匹牽引前行。控制這些"大力士"的最佳位置是左側(cè)最后一匹馬的后面，這樣才可以用右手揮動馬鞭控制其他的馬匹。由于是左側(cè)馭馬，為了防止兩輛交錯的馬車車輪不小心撞在一起，最好的方式就是靠右行駛。馬車往哪走，人們就跟著往哪走，所以靠右行駛就變得越來越普遍。

And then the motor car arrived. While original designs for cars put the driver in the front and center of the vehicle, it wasn’t long before the advantages of having the driver able to see down the middle of the road became clear. And in those countries where car manufacturing became an essential industry for export (America, this means you), right-hand-drive vehicles with the steering column on the left quickly became a worldwide norm, forcing relative latecomers like Sweden to give in and move over too.

接著出現(xiàn)了汽車。汽車最初的設計是安排駕駛員坐在車子的前中部分，不久人們就發(fā)現(xiàn)駕駛員要能觀察得到中間路況才能便于駕駛。在那些以汽車制造為重要出口產(chǎn)業(yè)的國家（美國，說的就是你），靠右行駛的“左駕車”快速成為全球標準，迫使汽車業(yè)后起之秀如瑞典不得不放棄原本的設計追隨國際趨勢。

Although it’s interesting to note that this arrangement does favor the left-handed driver somewhat, as their dominant hand is the one that never leaves the steering wheel. A right-handed driver in a British car spends a good deal of their time steering with his or her right hand while fiddling with the gear stick with their left, which seems the safest way.

有趣的是這種安排確實很合左撇子的習慣，這樣他們的優(yōu)勢手也就是左手就可以不用離開方向盤了。一個慣用右手的司機要開一輛英式汽車就得花費很多時間習慣用右手操作方向盤同時用左手控制變速桿，看起來不失為最安全的方法。

This may account for the relative popularity of stick-shift gearboxes in British cars to this day.

從這種方式也可以看出為何英式汽車至今仍偏愛手動變速器。

Oh and one last thing. In Japan, they historically drove on the left—partly by choice, partly because British engineers built their railway network to be left-hand drive—until 1945, when U.S. rule forced the Okinawa Prefecture to switch to the right. They returned to the left in 1978.

哦，還有最后一點。在歷史上日本這個國家是靠左行駛的，部分是自己選擇的原因，部分是因為英國的工程師把他們的鐵路系統(tǒng)建成這樣。1945年，美國統(tǒng)治了沖繩島并強制當?shù)馗臑榭坑倚旭?，不過1978年又變回了靠左行駛。
