上學(xué)的時候大家學(xué)過的英語知識還記得嗎?如果你是剛剛接觸英語這門外語，那么基礎(chǔ)知識一定要好好去學(xué)習(xí)。比如英語中表達(dá)路的單詞road和street有什么區(qū)別?大家可以回想回想，如果還不太清楚的話，一起來看看這篇內(nèi)容吧!

Street

= a paved public road that only appears in a city or town, not in rural areas.

出現(xiàn)在城市或城鎮(zhèn)(不在農(nóng)村)的公共道路。

Usually there are shops/stores or houses along both sides of a street which facilitates public interaction.

通常有商店或房子沿著街道兩旁，方便人們活動。

例：

It was 6pm and the streets were busy with people going home from work.

下午6點(diǎn)，街上擠滿了下班回家的人。

After the guilty verdicy, there were riots on the streets.

宣判有罪后，街上發(fā)生了騷亂。

Road

=a route or way on land between two places that has been paved to allow travel by transport.

在兩個地方之間鋪設(shè)的一條道路，具備交通工具通行的條件。

According to the OECD, a road is a line of communication (travelled way) using a stabilized base other than rails or air strips open to public traffic, primarily for the use of road motor vehicles running on their own wheels

根據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)合作與發(fā)展組織的說法，road是一種使用基本陸地的公共交通線路，而不是鐵道或空中，主要是供那些用輪子行駛的公路機(jī)動車輛使用。

Traditionally a road was a way to travel between two points, usually other towns or distant places. Over time, a road that once connected two towns or villages that were close to each other is still called a road even though now those two towns or villages became part of the same larger city. That is why roads are normally long and important routes in a city.

傳統(tǒng)上，road是聯(lián)系兩點(diǎn)之間的交通方式，通常是跟其他城鎮(zhèn)或遠(yuǎn)距離的地方。隨著時間的推移，曾經(jīng)連接兩個相鄰的城鎮(zhèn)或村莊的道路現(xiàn)在仍然被稱為road，盡管現(xiàn)在這兩個城鎮(zhèn)或村莊已經(jīng)成為同一個更大的城市的一部分。這就是為什么road通常是城市中又長又重要的路線。

例：

The farm is two miles south of the main road.

農(nóng)場在主路以南兩英里處。

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

一片樹林里分出兩條路，而我——我選擇了人跡更少的那條路，這使一切都不同了。

Nowadays you may hear people informally use the word road as a synonym of street. This is fine and people will understand what you are talking about if you use either of the words.

現(xiàn)在你可能會聽到人們非正式地用road作為street的同義詞。這都是可以的，隨便你用這兩個詞中的哪一個，人們都會明白你在說什么。

A street however normally has shopsstores or houses along both sides of it which facilitates public interaction. A road may also have buildings on either side though its main function is as a transportation route, a way of getting from one place to another, especially between towns. Outside of the city they are called roads.

street通常在兩旁有商店或房子，方便人們活動。雖然road的主要功能是作為從一個地方到另一個地方的交通路線，特別是城鎮(zhèn)之間，但有時候它的兩邊也可能有建筑物。城外的路叫“road”。

When a street (or road) is being repaired, it is called road works, not street works.

當(dāng)?shù)缆繁恍迯?fù)時，它被稱為road works，而不是street works。

例：

Make sure you look both ways when you cross the street. (Here you could also use road instead of street)

過馬路時一定要向兩邊看。(這里你也可以用road代替street)

I think I will be late to work because of all the road works on the way.

我想我上班要遲到了，因?yàn)槁飞嫌泻芏嗟胤叫蘼贰?/p>
