國(guó)際駕駛執(zhí)照-假期
For more than 50years,travelers have been using the international driver's license to travel in foreign countries.The idea is that a driver with a driver with a valid driver's license in her own country can drive freely in another country without going through another driving test.Of course,this is true only for countries that participate in this program.
50多年來(lái)，旅游者可以持國(guó)際駕照在外國(guó)旅行時(shí)使用。它的用意是：一個(gè)在自己的國(guó)家持有效駕照的駕駛者，可以在另一個(gè)國(guó)家自由(合法)地開車而不用再經(jīng)過(guò)(該國(guó)的)駕駛考試。當(dāng)然，這只適用于有參加這個(gè)計(jì)劃的國(guó)家。
The United Nations has a deatailed guideline for how the license should be presented;including what information and what languages should be displayed.Getting one is fairly easy.Since you already have a valid driver's license,getting the international license is a matter of filling out the application and paying for the processing fee.
聯(lián)合國(guó)有個(gè)關(guān)于如何制作該證(國(guó)際駕照)的詳細(xì)規(guī)定：包括應(yīng)該列出哪些資料及包括哪幾種語(yǔ)言的翻譯。申辯一個(gè)國(guó)際駕照是很簡(jiǎn)單的。既然你已經(jīng)有駕照了，辯國(guó)際駕照就只是填表申請(qǐng)和交付手續(xù)費(fèi)的問(wèn)題而已。
Once you have the license,you can rent cars and drive in foreign highways.If you happen to be stopped by law enforcement officers such as police,you have to present both licenses.The international license can never be valid alone.Some countries may recognize your own driver's license,but having the international license will save you from potential hassles and resolve language barriers.
一旦你有了些駕照，你就可以租車在國(guó)外的公路上開車了。如果你被執(zhí)法的官員如警察攔下來(lái)，你的兩種駕照都必須拿出來(lái)。光是持國(guó)際駕照而沒(méi)有本國(guó)的駕照是無(wú)效的。有的國(guó)家可能會(huì)承認(rèn)你本國(guó)的駕照，但持有國(guó)際駕照可以讓你免去可能發(fā)生的爭(zhēng)論和解決語(yǔ)言上的障礙。
