“乘用车”
用英语怎么说？

About ten years ago, something strange started happening in New Orleans. The number of accidents involving large trucks began to rise very quickly, but only in one specific area. This was on a fourteen-mile stretch of Interstate 10 in a neighborhood called New Orleans East. Suddenly, there were many more accidents between trucks and passenger cars reported each year. For example, in 2004, there were 69 sideswipe accidents with large trucks in the city. By 2017, that number had almost tripled. Insurance adjusters could not find any clear reason for this increase, like bad lighting or a steep road. For truck drivers, this part of the highway became a dangerous place to be avoided. It was like an asphalt Bermuda Triangle. Another strange thing was that the cars in these crashes almost always had multiple people inside.

大约十年前，新奥尔良开始发生一些奇怪的事情。涉及大型卡车 的事故数量开始迅速增加，但仅限于一个特定区域。这发生在东新奥尔良一个社区内14英里长的一段10号州际公路上。突然之间，每年报告的卡车与乘用车 之间的事故数量大增。例如，2004年，该市发生了69起涉及大型卡车的侧面刮蹭事故。到2017年，这个数字几乎翻了三倍。保险理赔员 找不到任何明显的原因来解释这种增长，比如光线不足或道路陡峭。对于卡车司机来说，这段高速公路成了一个需要避开的危险之地。它就像一个沥青路面的百慕大三角。另一个奇怪之处在于，这些事故中的车辆几乎总是有多人 在内。
