The Traffic Report

交通消息

The traffic anchor is reporting the news.

交通节目主持人正在播报交通消息。

Anchor: It's a difficult job driving out there today so let me inform you about what's happening on the highways. Due to everyone leaving work at the same time, traffic is congested right now with a lot of braking and accelerating. You may even find yourself at a complete stop as you slowly approach the commercial district. The congestion is due to the numerous spectators gawking at the accident between a pickup truck and a big commercial truck on Interstate 5. Both vehicles lost control and got into a small accident but are now off on the right edge of the highway. Police will soon be arriving where the accident occurred so be alert. You should find yourselves moving at a quick pace once you leave the city as traffic starts to diminish. You'll have an unobstructed passage for a few miles then traffic will increase again due to merging lanes on the highway. We'll keep a close surveillance on the traffic conditions for you every 20 minutes.

主持人：今天在外面开车可不轻松。下面我们来看看路面的交通情况。现在正值下班高峰，交通十分拥挤，许多车辆只得走走停停。商业区附近，1-5公路上发生了一起交通事故，一辆小型货车和一辆大卡车相撞。许多人都放慢车速张望事故现场，致使这一路段的交通严重阻塞，车辆停滞不前4这两辆车是因为打滑失控而发生轻微碰撞，现在已被拖至公路右边的紧急停车道。警察会很快赶至事故现场，所以开车时要留点神.离开市区后，交通就不那么拥挤，车辆可以畅行无阻。不过，几英里路后，您会再次受阻，由于公路上车道减少，又有路段出现塞车。我们会密切注视道路交通流量，每隔20分钟为您播报一次。
