841　Yield 让

There were only two cars at the on ramp, but no one was moving. Clearly the first driver was too timid to blend into the flow of traffic. Opportunity after opportunity passed her by, and cars piled up on the ramp. Finally, the driver moved, spurred by an exasperated motorist at the end of the line, who yelled, “The sign says yield, not surrender!”

在融入高速公路的转盘道上只有两辆车，但是我们都没有前进。显然是我前面那辆车的司机太胆怯，不敢融入高速公路的车流中去。她把一个又一个机会都错过了，转盘道上的车越积越多。最后，排在最后面的司机跳出来大喊：“这标志上写的是‘让’，不是‘放弃’。”受了激励，车开动了。
