①Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. ②It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. ③Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. ④On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. ⑤The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.
⑥This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.
⑦The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. ⑧When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. ⑨And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it.⑩So we assume it was proportionately shorter.
④On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery.

⑥This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.
This is the well-travelled road effect:people tend to underestimate the timeit takes to travel a familiar route.
This is the well-travelledroad effect是主句部分。travel是行驶,行走,旅行的意思,合成词well-travelled按照合成的方式分析是travelled will,意思是:经常走的。修饰road意思就是:熟悉的路线,熟路。effect是效应、结果的意思。翻译为:即这就是所谓的“熟路效应”。
people tend to underestimate the time是同位语从句,tend to意思是:倾向于、往往。
underestimate是:低估的意思,直接翻译即可:人们往往会低估时间。
it takesto travel a familiar route.是定语从句,修饰前面的the time。所以, it takes应该是it takes (the time)to travel a familiar route.意思是:在熟悉的线路上所花费的时间。
