roads
Roads and streets 公路和街道
In a town or city, street is the most general word for a road with houses and buildings on one or both sides. 在城镇，street为最普通的用语，指街道：
a street map of London
伦敦街道图
Street is not used for roads between towns, but streets in towns are often called Road . street不用以指城镇间的道路，而城镇里的街道常称作road：
Oxford Street
牛津街
Mile End Road
迈尔恩德路
A road map of France would show you the major routes between, around and through towns and cities. 法国公路交通图（road map）标有连接、环绕和穿越各城镇的主要路线。
Other words used in the names of streets include: Circle , Court , Crescent , Drive , Hill and Way . Avenue suggests a wide street lined with trees. A lane is a narrow street between buildings or, in BrE , a narrow country road. 其他可用于街道名称的词有Circle、Court、Crescent、Drive、Hill和Way。avenue指宽阔的林荫道，lane指建筑物间的小巷、胡同，或在英国英语中指乡村小路。
The high street 市镇商业大街
High street is used in BrE , especially as a name, for the main street of a town, where most shops, banks, etc. are. high street用于英国英语，尤作商店、银行等集中的市镇商业大街名：
the record store in the High Street
商业大街的唱片商店
high street shops
市镇大街的商店
In NAmE Main Street is often used as a name for this street. 在北美英语中，此义常用Main Street表示。
Larger roads 较宽大的公路
British and American English use different words for the roads that connect towns and cities. Motorways , (for example, the M57) in BrE , freeways , highways or interstates , (for example State Route 347, Interstate 94, the Long Island Expressway) in NAmE , are large divided roads built for long-distance traffic to avoid towns. 表示连接城镇的公路时，英国英语和美国英语的用词各异。motorway用于英国英语（如57高速路），freeway、highway或interstate用于北美英语（如347州道、94州际公路、长岛高速公路），它们均指城外分道行驶的长途高速公路。
A ring road ( BrE ) / an outer belt ( NAmE ) is built around a city or town to reduce traffic in the centre. This can also be called a beltway in NAmE , especially when it refers to the road around Washington D.C. A bypass passes around a town or city rather than through the centre. ring road（英国英语）/ outer belt（北美英语）指为减少市中心的交通流量修建的环城公路。在北美英语中亦可叫做beltway，不过该词通常指华盛顿市的环城公路。bypass指不穿越市中心，绕过城市的旁道。
