31.The followingappeared in the editorial section of a newsmagazine.
"Some states are creating new laws that restrict the use of of handheld
cell phones by drivers of automobiles. Such legislation, however, is sheer
folly. Although some people with cell phones undoubtedly cause problems on
the road, including serious accidents, the majority do not. Besides,
problems are also caused by drivers who are distracted by any number of
other activities, from listening to the radio to disciplining children.
Since there is no need to pass legislation restricting these and other
such activities, it follows that there is no need to restrict people's
freedom to use a device that they find convenient-or helpful in
emergencies."
我所写的首段:
The argument talking about a restrict inusing of the cell phone when driving a car in some states results in theconclusion that it is sheer folly having such a decision , grounding on seemly reasonablecomparison between use of cell phone and other activities, such as listening tomusic, disciplining children, and indefensibly providing the evidence that majoritydrivers would not be influenced by the use of cell phone.
