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 tough row to hoe out there today so let me clue you in on what's happening on the highways. Due to rush hour, traffic is heavy right now with a lot of slow-and-go. You may even find yourself at a dead stop as you work your way down to the commercial district. The bunch-up is due to the numerous rubberneckers gawking at the tangle between a pickup and a big rig on 1-5, Both vehicles spun out and got into a fender header but are now off on the right shoulder. Police will be arriving on the scene shortly so heads; up. You should find yourselves moving at a quick dip once you leave the city as traffic starts to break up. You'll have a dear shot for a few miles then traffic will pick up again due to a bottle-neck on the highway. We'll keep tabs 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。
