读懂交通标志 了解它们的英文释义（双语）

也许我们对于国内的交通标志已经很熟悉了，但是置身国外，却不

一定能马上全部理解。看看图片中的几个标志，你都知道它们分别表示

什么意思吗？一起来学习吧。

There is song in English with a chorus that goes like this:

有首英文歌是这么唱的：

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign?, Blockin’ out the scenery,

breakin’ my mind, ?Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the

sign?

标语！标语！到处都是标语！大煞风景，头昏脑胀。干这个！别干

那个！你难道看不懂标语吗？

This song is very fitting because today’s post is about signs

in English, signs that you will see on the road while driving or

when walking down a street. Many of these signs are self

explanatory, because the symbols or pictures used are obvious,

to get a message across to everyone, even if they can’t read.

However, let’s take a closer look at the signs in the picture

below, so you can fully understand what they mean in case you

come across one of them in America.

这首歌非常适合这篇文章的主题——英文中的标志。你可以在开车

、散步的时候看到这些标志。大部分标志一目了然，因为所使用的标记

或是图片非常明显，就算不识字，每个人都能看懂它传达的信息。不过

，让我们仔细看看下列标志，这样当你碰上它们就可以完全理解了。

Starting with the top row, on the left side, we have a:

从第一排左边开始：

stop sign – When you see this sign you will have to come to

a complete stop in your car or bike before you continue moving

forward.

停车标志——看到这个标志，开车或是骑车都要停下来，不能再往

前走。

yield sign – This sign indicates that you need to slow down,

but you may not have to come to a full stop.

让行标志——这个标志提醒你要减速，但不用停下来。

crosswalk – This is a sign that indicates people have the right

of way to cross the street, so cars have to stop when they see a

person waiting next to one of these signs.

人行道——这个标志提示行人可以穿过街道，看到行人在一旁等待

，车辆需要停下。

turning – This sign indicates that the road is turning ahead,

so be careful.

转弯——这个标志提示前方道路有弯道，小心驾驶。

hill – This sign indicates you are about to approach a hill.

下坡——这个标志提示前方下坡。

Pitch it! – If you are looking for the nearest garbage or trash

can, keep an eye out for this sign, it will often indicate a public

garbage can is nearby.

垃圾桶——如果你在找最近的垃圾桶，留意这个标志，这表示附近

有垃圾桶。

Second row:

第二行：

speed limit – When driving in the United States you will have

to watch out for speed limit signs as the speed limit changes

frequently depending on where you are driving; the number on

this sign indicates the maximum miles per hour you can drive in

that area.

限速——在美国开车，你要当心限速标志。因为开车地点不同，速

度限制经常会变化。标志上的数字表示你在这一区域的最大时速。

do not enter – This sign indicates you are not allowed to

enter a road at that point.

禁止通行——这一标志标明你不能进入这条路。

dead end – This means that a road is ending and there will

be no other roads ahead to turn on.
