如果你開(kāi)車(chē),那你多半上過(guò)高速公路。但你知道高速路的英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)嗎? 我想有些朋友第一反應(yīng)都覺(jué)得很簡(jiǎn)單,會(huì)說(shuō)“High speed way”。 如果你對(duì)老外說(shuō)你在high speed way上開(kāi)車(chē),他們多半會(huì)覺(jué)得你魅力四射……不,這不是什么好事,他們把你誤會(huì)成F1賽車(chē)手了,因?yàn)閟peedway是指“賽車(chē)跑道”。 那么,怎么說(shuō)高速公路才不會(huì)被誤會(huì)呢? 在美國(guó),有這3種說(shuō)法:freeway / highway / expressway 除了這3個(gè)單詞外,在高速路上你還會(huì)“遇到”其他許多單詞,華生為你稍微羅列了下,我們一起來(lái)看看吧。 1. Gas Station/Petrol Station(加油站) were you get gasoline for cars 2. Repair Shop(修車(chē)店) a place were you get your car repaired 3. Service Road(支路、便道) a local road that runs parallel to a highway 4. Highway/Freeway(高速公路) a fast road that is used for long distances that doesn't have any traffic lights 5. Tolls(收費(fèi)站) money that you pay in order to use road, bridge, tunnel etc. 6. Interstate(洲際公路) roads that connect the states inside America 7. Rental-Car(租車(chē)) renting a car for a specific amount of time 8. Exit-Ramp(出口匝道) a ramp on a highway that takes takes you off the highway 9. Entrance Ramp(入口匝道) a ramp that puts you on the highway 10.

Keep your eyes open for any tolls and your exit-ramp. 想知道這些詞匯怎么念,鍛煉你的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)嗎?點(diǎn)擊下方就可以聽(tīng)外教是怎么說(shuō)的,跟著念吧。 今日詞匯 另外值得一提的是,在美國(guó)英語(yǔ)里有那么多單詞表示高速路,但在英語(yǔ)里其實(shí)用一個(gè)“motorway”就足矣。不過(guò)就世界范圍來(lái)說(shuō),還是美式英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用更多一些。 你開(kāi)車(chē)嗎?你覺(jué)得這些單詞對(duì)你有用嗎?或者說(shuō)你想知道其他哪方面英語(yǔ)的口語(yǔ)念法? 寫(xiě)在評(píng)論里,告訴華生吧。 點(diǎn)擊查看上一篇微信:請(qǐng)客吃飯小心觸犯禁忌!你會(huì)用英語(yǔ)問(wèn)別人不吃什么嗎? 你想學(xué)習(xí)生活中真實(shí)的老外對(duì)話場(chǎng)景嗎?你想鍛煉自己的聽(tīng)力一下就明白老外說(shuō)什么嗎? 點(diǎn)擊【閱讀原文】即可前往【視頻街】,查看大量的場(chǎng)景對(duì)話視頻,學(xué)習(xí)發(fā)音、演練會(huì)話也鍛煉聽(tīng)力。 |
