💡专业提示

避免误用场景

该短语通常指因外部因素(如施工、事故)导致的交通受阻,而非描述道路本身的设计问题。例如,'The road obstructs traffic flow'(道路阻碍交通流量)是错误的,应改为'The road design obstructs traffic flow'(道路设计阻碍交通流量)。

⚡黄金法则

主动与被动语态

在描述外部因素导致交通受阻时,通常使用被动语态。例如:'The construction obstructed traffic flow'(施工阻碍了交通流量)。若强调主体的责任,可使用主动语态:'Drivers obstructed traffic flow by parking illegally'(司机违规停车阻碍了交通流量)。

📖词源

由动词'obstruct'(阻塞、阻碍)和名词短语'traffic flow'(交通流量)组合而成。'obstruct'源自拉丁语'obstruere'(阻塞),由前缀'ob-'(反对、阻碍)+ 'struere'(堆积、建造)构成。'traffic flow'则由'traffic'(交通)+ 'flow'(流动)组成,用于描述车辆或行人的移动状态。

📝用法说明

该短语多用于正式场合,如交通管理、新闻报道或法律文书中。在口语中,常用更简洁的表达如'block traffic'或'cause traffic jams'。注意与'block traffic'的区别:'obstruct'强调主动或被动的阻塞行为,而'block'则更侧重于完全阻断。
