說到高速公路的英語,很多人的第一反應是“highway”,,很多英文歌的歌詞也是這樣翻譯的,,但其實“highway”并不是高速公路! 在我國公共服務領域英文譯寫規(guī)范國家標準中,“highway”對應的中文意思是“公路”,。 highway 公路(尤指連接城鎮(zhèn)的重要公路) highway: a public road, especially an important road that joins cities or towns together a coastal/interstate highway 濱海/州際公路 The coach took the interstate highway. 長途汽車沿著州際公路行駛,。 “speedway”雖然看起來和速度有關系,但它也不是高速公路,,它指的是汽車或摩托車的賽車運動,,賽車跑道。 speedway: (a special racing track used for) the sport of racing special cars, or light motorcycles without brakes Economically, speedway differs from many sports because it has heavy weekly overheads. 從經(jīng)濟上講,,賽車不同于許多運動項目,,因為它每周的開銷很大。 道路設施的國標翻譯中,,“高速公路”的對應譯法是“expressway”,。 expressway 快速干道;高速公路(美) expressway: a wide road for fast-moving traffic, especially one in the US that goes through a city, with a limited number of places at which drivers can enter and leave it No one in his right mind would attempt to cross the expressway on foot. 頭腦正常的人是不會試圖步行穿過高速公路的,。 除此之外,,還有兩個單詞也可以表示高速公路。 freeway 高速公路(美) freeway: a wide road for fast-moving traffic, especially in the US, with a limited number of places at which drivers can enter and leave it The freeway will be packed at this hour. 這個點兒高速公路會很堵,。 motorway 高速公路(英) motorway: a wide road for fast-moving traffic, especially in the UK, Ireland, and some other countries, with a limited number of places at which drivers can enter and leave it Because of the bad weather, motorway (driving) conditions are expected to be hazardous tonight. 由于天氣惡劣,,今晚在高速公路駕車可能會很危險。 interstate (美國的)州際高速公路 A bridge collapsed in Southern California, and forced the indefinite closure of Interstate 10. 美國加州南部的一座橋梁倒塌,,迫使十號州際高速公路無限期關閉,。 如果做形容詞,“interstate”還可以表示“州際的,,州與州之間的”,。 最后,再給大家介紹一些相關的英語表達,。 ETC Electronic Toll Collection 電子不停車收費 gas station 加油站(美) petrol station 加油站(英) To obtain more fuel, it must travel to the gas station and fill its tank. 為了獲得更多的燃料,,它必須去加油站把油箱加滿。 toll booth 收費站 收費站的攝像頭會拍下司機不交過路費的車。 elevated road 高架路 The design of landscape is the subject having to give importance to the design of the urban elevated road. 景觀設計是城市高架路設計中必須重視的課題,。 ring road 環(huán)形公路 We got stuck in traffic on the ring road. 我們在環(huán)城路上堵車了,。 alley 弄 She walked quickly down the alley. 她迅速地沿著弄堂走去。 up/down your alley 合口味,;為(某人)所喜愛 lane 小巷,;鄉(xiāng)間小路;胡同 He drives so fast along those narrow country lanes. 在那些狹窄的鄉(xiāng)間小路上他把車開得飛快,。 speeding 超速行駛 She was fined for speeding last month. 她上個月因為超速駕車被罰了款,。 今日總結 highway 公路(尤指連接城鎮(zhèn)的重要公路) a coastal/interstate highway 濱海/州際公路 speedway 賽車運動,賽車跑道 expressway 快速干道,;高速公路(美) freeway 高速公路(美) motorway 高速公路(英) interstate (美國的)州際高速公路,;州際的,州與州之間的 ETC Electronic Toll Collection 電子不停車收費 gas station 加油站(美) petrol station 加油站(英) toll booth 收費站 elevated road 高架路 ring road 環(huán)形公路 alley 弄 up/down your alley 合口味,;為(某人)所喜愛 lane 小巷,;鄉(xiāng)間小路; |
