路痴的痛：没有方向感是什么体验

对于没有方向感的人来说，东南西北都没有意义，他们只知道左和右，而且，有的时候还可能把左右给搞反。

他们出门的时候，完全听从导航的安排，哪怕路线是错的，也得听。因为别的路线，他们也不知道。

在英语里，他们是directionally-challenged people，在停车场找不到自己的车，也是有可能的。

The term directionally-challenged can be used to describe:

1. Someone who has difficulty determining right from left,

2. Someone who often confuses directions, and prefers visual aids,

3. Someone who has great difficulty reading maps and/or driving while listening to directions.

没有方向感(directionally-challenged)多用来形容以下这三种人：

1. 分不清左右的人，

2. 分不清方向，需要视觉辅助指路的人，

3. 看不懂地图、听不懂导航的人。

如果你身边也有这样没有方向感的人，那么他们对下面这些场景可能会觉得很熟悉。
