I've been driving for Uber for close to 8 months. The first 2 months it was pretty good. I netted about $12-$15/hr driving late at night. Then Uber started taking $1 off every fare and cut rates by 20%. All the mileage you put on your car makes it hardly worth going out anymore. You give a lot of short rides for, what comes out to $2.40 each, after Uber takes their cut. That doesn't even take into account the $10 a week they deduct for the phone. Then you have to deduct gas and car expense. You basically give the ride for free. Uber uses drivers and their cars for their own profit and wipes their ass with them because they know that more suckers are signing up to drive every day.
我在优步开车已经将近8个月了，前两个月收入还不错，深夜开车净收入大约是12-15美元/小时。不过后来优步开始在每次的票价中收取1美元，并降低20%的费率。你开车跑了那么多里程，却赚不到一分一毫。优步降价后，你给很多人提供短途搭车服务，每人就只能赚取2.40美元，这还不包括他们每周扣除的10美元电话费，以及自己缴纳的汽油费和车费，这样算来你基本上是免费提供搭车服务。优步利用司机和他们的车赚钱，然后用他们擦屁股，因为他们知道每天都有更多的傻瓜报名为他们开车。
I have to be anonymous with my comment because if you say anything negative about Uber, you will be deactivated permanently. All the stuff you read on the Internet about the sleazy, underhanded tactics used by Uber are ALL true.They lie about everything. The CEO is a greedy scumbag and probably a psycopath. He will do anything he has to in order to get the monopoly on the taxi industry.
如果你说了任何关于优步的负面消息，你将被永久停用，所以我不得不匿名发表我的评论。你在网上读到的所有关于优步使用的卑鄙、秘密策略的事件都是真实的！他们一直在欺骗大众！首席执行官是个贪婪的卑鄙小人，可能是个神经病，为了垄断出租车行业，他甚至会不择手段。
I drive only at surge times on Fri and Sat nights. It's the only time it it worth driving. You can make the bucks on surges. Unfortunatly, only a few hours a week have surge pricing. Plus you have to be in the right area, at the right time.
While I was reading some of these comments about all the money they make, it had me laughing. The chic who gave up her hair salon to drive for Uber had me rolling on the floor. I don't know if they are liars or just stupid. You will find out soon enough that it is all bullshit.
我只在星期五和星期六晚上的高峰时段开车，这也是唯一值得开车的时间段。你可以在高峰时段上赚钱，不幸的是，一周只有几个小时价格会飙升。另外，你必须在正确的时间出现在正确的区域。
当我读到一些关于他们赚钱的评论时，我笑了。那个为了去优步而放弃发廊的时尚女生让我笑到在地板上打滚。不知道他们是骗子还是只是傻，你很快就会发现他们这都是在胡说八道。

It really depends on the driver. I had several thought about working in the morning and coming home at noon and at that time I could earn $ 500 to $ 1, 400 a week. Also influenced by the ride you accept and your area, if you live in an area that is not too many people, would you like to walk out of your area and go elsewhere
这真的取决于司机。我曾经有几次想过在清晨工作，中午回家，在那个时候，我每周能挣500美元到1400美元。这还受你接受的乘坐方式以及你所在的区域情况的影响，如果你住在一个人不太多的地方，那要看你是否愿意走出你的区域，前往其他地方。
I usually like to carry passengers locally first before going to crowded places. Go to these bustling spots, I set a destination home, carrying passengers to go to this destination.
I have also worked throughout the day, not coming home by noon. I have made anywhere from $350.00 a week, to upwards of $2300.00 a week.
我通常喜欢先在本地载客，然后再去人多点的地方。去往这些繁华的地方以后，我再设定一个靠近家里的地点，并搭载要去这个地点的乘客。
工作一整天后，我中午才回家休息。我一周的收入从350美元到2300美元不等。
On the down side, I will tell you that I have had times (days) where I made very little money (less than $50.00 a day). These periods will come and go, but if you work hard, the amounts will average out over the span of a week or month; so be prepared for some real “downer” days and even weeks.
我想告诉你，开车并不会这么顺利。我曾经有过挣得很少(每天不到50美元)的时候，这些时期变化无定，但是如果你努力工作，你挣的钱会在一周或者一个月内平均化。不过你还是要为那些真正的“沮丧”的日子（甚至可能好几周）做好心理准备。
I usually tell new Drivers, to expect to lose money, or rather make very little money, until they learn the system and become comfortable with the platforms you are driving on. Once you find a few little tricks of the trade, you will see a drastic over-all increase in earnings. I also tell them to find out the most productive times in your area; as well as the most productive areas to be in, to make the money you wish to make.
我通常告诉新司机，在他们学习系统并适应驾驶平台之前，要做好赔钱的准备，或者更确切地说是只赚很少的钱。一旦你发现了某些小技巧，你就会发现收入在全面大幅地增长。我还告诉他们，一定要找到你所在地区最有效率的时间以及打车最活跃的区域，来赚你想赚的钱。
Keep in mind that just because you make $100.00, on one day, it does not mean you made $100.00. What you make, should take into account the expenses that you have to pay. So, if Fuel costs you $30.00, and you made only $100.00, you actually only made $70.00, minus the cost of insurances.
请记住，如果你在某一天赚了100美元，这并不意味着你真的赚了100美元。你的收入，还应该考虑到那些你必须支付的费用。因此，如果你花费了30美元加油，而你只赚了100美元的话，你实际上只赚了70美元，这还不包括保险的费用。
I will share with you, that it may take you about a couple of months to establish a budget, to account for your Over-head expenses properly. In some cases longer. If you do not budget for your Car Washes, vehicle maintenance, tires, insurances, and Fuel, you will feel like you are not making enough to continue; thus you will become frustrated .
我还想告诉你的是，你可能需要几个月（在某些情况下更长）的时间来制定一个预算，来适当地支付你的超支费用。如果你没有为你的洗车，车辆维护，轮胎，保险和燃料做预算的话，你会发现你没有足够的钱来继续工作，因此你会变得很沮丧。
I hope this gives you a little insight as to what you can make, and what you will have to spend on, while you are driving for either Uber .
我希望我说的这些能让你在为优步开车的时候，对自己能做些什么，花费些什么有所了解。
