师傅，我去大使馆，你是不是走错了？ 现在是上班时间，前面有点儿堵车，我们走另外一条路，距离差不多。 那就好，堵车浪费时间，遇到堵车，心情也“堵”。 可不是！上班堵车怕迟到，下班堵车怕回家晚。每天在马路上开车，要想不遇到堵车，还真难。 一遇到堵车，人们就容易变得没有耐心。长期这样，还会影响脾气甚至性格。但是您的心情为什么这么好呢？ 我们改变不了堵车，但是可以试着改变自己的心情。堵车时正好可以休息一下，还可以听听自己喜欢的音乐。

Driver, I'm going to the embassy. Did you take the wrong way? It's working hours now; there's a bit of traffic up ahead; let's take another route; the distance is about the same. That's good then. Traffic jams waste time. When you run into a traffic jam, your mood also gets "jammed". Exactly! Traffic jams on the way to work make you worry about being late, and traffic jams after work make you worry about getting home late. Driving on the road every day, it's really hard not to run into a traffic jam. As soon as there’s a traffic jam, people tend to become impatient. In the long term, it can also affect one’s temper and even personality. But why are you in such a good mood? We can't change traffic jams, but we can try to change our mood. During a traffic jam, it's a good time to take a short break, and you can also listen to music you like.
