Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.

　　拿大家都熟悉的開車來舉例。比如你要上班，到市區(qū)去一趟，或者回家。不管是何種情況，你都對每一個拐彎了熟于心。開這樣的一段路，你很容易開著開著就不集中注意力了，也不在意沿途的風(fēng)景。這樣的結(jié)果就是，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)不知不覺就到達(dá)目的地。

　　This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.

　　這就是熟路效應(yīng) —— 人們傾向于低估熟悉路程所花費(fèi)的時間。

　　The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.

　　這一效應(yīng)是由我們分配精力的方式引起的。當(dāng)我們走熟悉的路線，因?yàn)椴粫�特別上心，時間似乎過得更快。而后回想起來，因?yàn)槁�不�?jīng)心，我們記不太清沿途的事物。所以，我們會覺得比實(shí)際短。
