Study: Smiling at drivers helps you cross the road faster

研究發現：行人過馬路對司機微笑更安全

Smiling at drivers helps pedestrians to cross the road as quickly as possible, according to a recent study released by the University of Southern Brittany in France.

根據法國南布列塔尼大學最新一項研究發現，行人對司機微笑可幫助更快過馬路。

Researchers conducted the survey with 1,200 drivers. The results show that when the female pedestrians smiled at male drivers at a crossroads, 72 percent of drivers stopped their vehicles and let the pedestrian pass. However, if the pedestrian was male and did not smile, only 38 percent of drivers did so.

這項調查研究覆蓋1200位司機。調查發現，在過馬路十字路口時，女性行人對司機微笑，72%的司機會停車并讓行人通過。然而如果是男性行人并且沒有微笑，那只有38%的司機會停車讓行。

When not at a crossroads, 36 percent of male drivers stopped their cars and let smiling female pedestrians pass. However, only 9 percent of unsmiling male pedestrians received this friendly gesture.

如果不是在十字路口，只有36%的司機會給微笑的女行人停車讓行。然而不微笑的男性行人只有9%可以收到此厚待。

Conversely, if the drivers were female, nearly 40 percent stopped to let the male pedestrians pass, but the number dropped to 18 percent for male pedestrians without a smile.

相反，如果司機是女性，近40%的司機會對男性行人讓行，但是對于不微笑的男性行人，只有18%會獲得讓行待遇。
