很多人開車時都習(xí)慣開著收音機，一方面可以隨時了解路況資訊，同時也為了讓開車的路途不太冷清。不過，你有沒有開車時聽到一檔廣播節(jié)目特別吸引人，以至于你都到家了還不愿意下車，想聽完節(jié)目再下車這樣的經(jīng)歷呢？
Driveway effect describes a special quality exhibited by a radio program that causes listeners to stay in their cars s in their driveways long after they have arrived home so they can hear the end of the program.
Driveway effect（車道效應(yīng)）指一檔廣播節(jié)目魅力如此之大，以至于人們開車到家以后還不舍得下車，而是把車停在自家門前車道，然后待在車里一直聽到節(jié)目結(jié)束。
A specific instance of the driveway effect is often called a driveway moment. NPR listeners often have "driveway moments": they are so engrossed in a story or discussion that they can't get out of the car until there's a break. When someone else mentions that moment you feel you've met a kindred spirit. (Source: Word Spy)
車道效應(yīng)的某一個特定時刻可以稱之為driveway moment（車道時刻）。美國國家公共電臺的聽眾們就經(jīng)常會有“車道時刻”：他們收聽一個故事或討論時太著迷了，直到節(jié)目中間休息的時候他們才舍得下車。如果有人跟說起這樣的時刻，你就會覺得遇上了知音。
