双语：美寻求让在车内失灵技术　　Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation”s preeminent anti-distracted-driving crusader, said in an interview on MSNBC on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars　　“I think it will be done,“ LaHood said. “I think the technology is there and I think you”re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones. We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives.“　　More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured, according to the Department of Transportation. LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it is a “cognitive distraction.“　　Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this sentiment — a new poll released on November 18 shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device. But the poll didn’t ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices。

　　据群众科学网11月19日报道，奥马巴政府在考虑让在车内失灵，这么做的目的是为了削减开车分心的司机数量，也是为了削减与开车时使用有关的道路交通事故的死亡人数　　运输部长雷拉胡德是美国反开车分心运动中最出色的战士，他11月18日在承受微软—全国播送公司采访中表示，联邦政府官员在寻求让在车内失灵的技术　　拉胡德说：“我认为这件事情办得到我认为现在有这种技术，你们会看到这种技术变得适用于车辆内部，从而让失灵假如我们要挽救生命，我们需要做更多事情　　据交通运输部表示，去年因司机驾车分心导致的交通事故死亡人数超过5500人，还有50万人在这些事故中受伤拉胡德表示，不管开不开免提，开车时使用从来没有安全一说，由于这种做法会造成“留意力分散”　　许多人好像都同意这种观点——11月18日公布的一项新的民意调查结果显示，近2/3的美国人支持在全国范围内制止司机在开车时使用，即使他们用的是免提装置但是，这项民意调查并没有询问被调查者，他们对政府发放扰频器或其他干扰装置作何感想。
