News Report One
Kelly Swisher, an Arkansas woman, escaped injury and managed to safely stop her car after a 4-foot-long rat snake came out from under her car seat and slid across her feet as she was driving down the highway.
阿肯色州一名女子凯利·史伟莎在高速公路上驾车时，一条4米长的食鼠蛇从座位底下钻出，划过她的脚，史伟莎成功安全停车，避免了受伤。
Rat snakes aren't poisonous or a threat to people generally.
一般来说，食鼠蛇无毒对人类也造不成威胁。
But the woman says the snake she encountered Thursday terrified her out of her wits.
但这名女士说，她被周四遇到的蛇吓得魂不附体。
"It was rough, with big scales," said Swisher, who was on her way to pick up her friend at the airport when it happened.
“它很粗糙，鳞片很大，”史伟莎说，事情发生在她去机场接朋友的路上。
"I don't know whether I had my hands on the steering wheel or not.
“我不知道我的手还在没在方向盘上。
I am not the most flexible person in the world, but I can guarantee my knees were up next to my ears."
我不是世界上最灵活的人，但我保证当时我的膝盖紧贴着耳朵。”
She said the snake first slid back under the seat, and she hoped it would stay there until she was able to get off the highway and stop.
她说，这条蛇首先滑回座位下面，当时她希望蛇就呆在那儿，直到她能够离开高速公路停下车。
"That didn't work out," she said.
“没用，”她说道，
"Here he comes, and he wound up in my back seat before I could finally get off the road, stop and get out of the car."

Fast food, it turns out; isn't quite as fast as it used to be.
事实证明，快餐并不如过去那样快了。
A new study finds that McDonald's posted its slowest drive-through times since this survey was first conducted fifteen years ago.
一项新的研究发现，麦当劳发布了自15年前首次进行这项调查以来最慢的“免下车”时间。
At McDonald's, customers will spend on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they place their orders until they receive their food.
麦当劳的顾客从下单到收到食物的平均时间为3分9秒。
That's about ten seconds more than the industry average—and a lot slower than a decade ago, according to the study, which was commissioned by QSR, an industry trade publication.
这比行业平均时间多出10秒——由行业刊物《QSR》委托进行的研究表明，这比十年前慢了很多。
And McDonald's wasn't alone in slowing down: Other chains also saw their drive-through performance slow down.
麦当劳并不是唯一一家减速的：其他的连锁店“免下车”时间也减短了。
Among the reasons for the slower service, today there are more choices on the menu, and the products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare.
服务变慢的原因有：如今菜单上的选择更多；产品本身更复杂，需要更长时间准备。
Speed, of course, is essential to the drive-through experience.
诚然，速度对于“免下车”体验是很重要的。
And drive-throughs are hugely important to chains, such as McDonald's, Burger King and Taco Bell.
“免下车”对于像麦当劳、汉堡王以及塔可钟这样的连锁店来说又是重中之重。
"Usually the drive-through accounts for sixty to seventy percent of all business that goes through a fast-food restaurant," notes Sam Oches, editor of QSR.
“通常，快餐店的免下车业务占快餐店所有业务的60%到70%，”《QSR》的编辑萨姆·奥什说道。
Of course, consumers also want their orders prepared correctly and on that score, Oches says, "accuracy is still really high."
当然，顾客也希望订单准备正确，在这一点上，奥什说，“准确度仍然很高。”
