小玩意兒：不要路怒，要微笑

There's enough road rage in the world; it's time to spread some smiles.

這世上的路怒癥已經(jīng)夠多了，該來(lái)點(diǎn)兒微笑了。

Now there's MotorMood, a little light-up smiley face that goes on your car's rear window and lets you say "thanks" to other drivers. The team behind MotorMood has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $130,500 by July 30 for the remote-controlled face. As of publication, a little more than $36,000 had been raised.

這款名叫MotorMood(汽車情緒)的小裝置是一個(gè)可以亮燈的笑臉，把它裝在你的車后窗上，它就可以幫你對(duì)其他司機(jī)說(shuō)“謝謝”了。這個(gè)裝置的研發(fā)團(tuán)隊(duì)目前正在進(jìn)行眾籌，希望能在7月30日籌到13.05 萬(wàn)美元的資金來(lái)研發(fā)這款可以遙控的笑臉。到發(fā)稿時(shí)為止，他們已經(jīng)籌到3.6萬(wàn)多美元。

You control the MotorMood with a little device that fits in your car's visor, just like a garage door opener. It's all battery-powered, and you just press the remote to make the face light up.

MotorMood的遙控裝置類似車庫(kù)門開(kāi)關(guān)按鈕，你可以將其安裝在汽車的遮陽(yáng)板上。遙控裝置由電池供電，只需一按就可以點(diǎn)亮后窗上的笑臉。

"There are many things that you can use MotorMood to say," The company's vice president Alex Sewell says in the Kickstarter video. "Thanks for letting me into your lane, thanks for turning off your brights, and thank you for letting me know that the light turned green." It's more effective than a wave and it's easy to see at night.

該公司副總裁在眾籌宣傳視頻中表示：“你可以用MotorMood表達(dá)很多意思，謝謝你讓我并道，謝謝你關(guān)掉你的大燈，謝謝你提醒我已經(jīng)綠燈了。”這比揮手要有用得多，而且在晚間很容易能看到。

The MotorMood will retail for $30, but you can get it cheaper if you donate to the Kickstarter.

MotorMood計(jì)劃零售價(jià)格為30美元，如果你參與了他們的眾籌，就可以享受更低的價(jià)格。

If you pledge more than $100 to MotorMood's Kickstarter page, you'll get a custom one with whatever image you choose. Maybe you could use a picture of your face to make it extra personal (or creepy).

如果你貢獻(xiàn)的資金超過(guò)100美元，你就可以得到一個(gè)定制的笑臉，你可以自由選擇笑臉上顯示的頭像?；蛟S你可以直接用自己的頭像，這樣你的笑臉就更個(gè)性化(或者詭異)了。

As always, be sure to pay full attention to the road when driving. Nine Americans are killed every day in car accidents involving distracted driving.

還有一句話要提醒，開(kāi)車時(shí)要專心看路。每天有9個(gè)美國(guó)人因開(kāi)車時(shí)分心導(dǎo)致的交通事故而喪命。
