冬天開車的各位司機(jī)小心了，一場暴風(fēng)雪過后，攔住你去路的也許不是厚厚的積雪或者冰面，而是附近車頂?shù)娘w來“冰彈”。

Ice missile is a chunk of ice that flies off the roof of a moving vehicle.

“冰彈”指的是從移動(dòng)的車輛頂部飛落的大塊兒冰塊。

Anyone who lives or drives regularly in one of the cold-weather states has probably observed the phenomenon: A massive chunk of ice becomes dislodged from the top of a truck or car up ahead and hurtles your way.

居住在寒冷地帶，或常在這些地區(qū)開車的人們可能會(huì)注意到這樣一個(gè)現(xiàn)象：突然有一大塊冰從前面的卡車車頂或汽車車頂飛落，擋住了你的去路。

"The slow-motion nightmare" is what Connecticut State Rep. Lawrence Cafero, a Republican from Norwalk, calls it.

來自美國康涅狄格州諾瓦克的共和黨人勞倫斯-卡費(fèi)羅稱之為：“慢鏡頭噩夢”。

"You're driving in the center lane, a day or two after a snowstorm," he says. "Ice on vehicles is starting to melt. You're driving 60 mph, with cars on the left, cars on the right. All of a sudden, you see this sheet of ice do this Olympic dive off the top of a truck in front of you. You can't go left, you can't go right. You just pray to God it doesn't hit you."

他說：“你正在中間車道行駛，一兩天前剛有一場暴風(fēng)雪。車頂?shù)谋鶋K開始融化。你的車時(shí)速在60英里，左右車道都有車輛。突然，你前面的卡車車頂飛速掉下一大坨冰塊。你沒法左拐也不能右拐，只能向上帝祈求不要撞上?！?/p>
