190. Crazy for Rush Hour
190.非趕交通擁擠時(shí)間不可
Work was running overtime again and John was ready to go. He couldn't do a rush job, however,
工作又要超時(shí)了，約翰準(zhǔn)備走了。可是他不能趕緊急任務(wù)，
so he ran his eye over to the timer on the machine; only five minutes left.
所以他掃視了一下機(jī)器上的計(jì)時(shí)器：只剩五分鐘了。
When the machine had run its course and the timer buzzed, John put on his running shoes and rushed through the factory to get in his car.
隨著機(jī)器自然運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)到時(shí)間、計(jì)時(shí)器發(fā)出信號(hào)，約翰穿上跑鞋，趕緊出了工廠鉆進(jìn)自己的小汽車。
Rush hour was almost over and he didn't want to miss it completely.
交通擁擠時(shí)間差不多快過去了，他不想一點(diǎn)也沒趕上。
John was afraid of speed! Really. Not speed on foot, or fast work，but speed on the road.
約翰害怕速度！是真的。但不是步行的速度，也不是快節(jié)奏的工作速度， 而是路上的高速度。
He figured there was safety in numbers, so he was the most safe and sound during rush hour!
他認(rèn)為人多保險(xiǎn)，所以他是交通擁擠時(shí)間里感覺最安全的人！
He didn't mind running up against slow traffic, being cut off by others,
他不在乎遇到交通緩慢，不在乎被別人堵住，
or having to smell gas fumes - he just didn't want to go fast or have too much open space!
也不在乎聞汽油煙霧--他就是不想走得太快或者有太多的空地！
Sometimes，if the roads were empty, John would worry so much that he would run a temperature.
有時(shí)候如果路上人車稀少，約翰就會(huì)擔(dān)心得要發(fā)燒。
That's why he didn't like being run off his feet at the tail end of his shift, he didn't want to miss rush hour!
就因?yàn)檫@樣他才不喜歡在下班之前被搞得急急忙忙，因?yàn)樗幌脲e(cuò)過交通擁擠時(shí)間！
Once he almost ran wild with worry because he missed rush hour!
有一次就因?yàn)殄e(cuò)過了交通擁擠時(shí)間，他都急得快失控了！
That's when he started seeing a psychiatrist.
他就是在那個(gè)時(shí)候開始看精神病醫(yī)生的。
The psychiatrist was convinced John ran riot with his obsession to drive during rush hour because he was afraid to rush into independence!
醫(yī)生深信由于害怕很快進(jìn)入獨(dú)立狀態(tài)，約翰對(duì)在交通擁擠時(shí)間開車有一種約束不住的著迷！
Whatever! Let them think what they would think.
說什么是什么吧！他們愛怎么想就怎么想！
If John could just make rush hour he was fine. Then his worry would rust away and everything would be fine! Everything would be fine!
只要約翰能趕上交通擁擠時(shí)間，他就會(huì)什么事都沒有。他的擔(dān)心會(huì)慢慢消失，一切都會(huì)好好的！一切都會(huì)好好的！
