American English Words: Driving 美国英语词语:驾车

Hi BBC, I like your question and answer programme. I have a question too; Americans use different words from the British such as eggplant and aubergine, or fall and autumn. Could you make a summary? Thanks.

This is the final of American English Words series. Previous programmes include food and drink, clothes, items around the house and businesses.

Today we'll take a look at road signs and driving terminology.

Listen out for the following words:

汽车的挡风玻璃 windshield

改道,绕行 detour

转盘 traffic circle

超车 to pass a vehicle

货车 trucks

汽车后备箱 trunk

让行 yield

British road signs

Who has right of way?

紧急信号灯 emergency signals

Can you match these words that are distinctly American with their British equivalents? Not sure? Listen to the programme.

If you have a question you would like to ask our team, email us at questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk.

We might make a programme about your question.
