车牌号英文可不是car number!那应该怎么说?

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

熊大想要炫技，却在车库迷失了方向，用英语问出经典错误：
"What's your car number?"
然而，皮卡丘明白熊大真正想问的是车牌号，但car number这个表述其实并不准确。在美国，人们通常会说 "vehicle registration number"，在英国则是 "registration plate"，而我们常说的"车牌"，准确的英文表达是 "license plate" 或者 "registration plate"。接着，来看看几个相关的地道表达：
车牌号："License plate number" 是最直接的翻译，比如：
"It's illegal to obscure your license plate number while driving."
"I hailed a taxi with the license plate number AJ7098."
接下来是驾照相关的词汇：
驾照：美国是 "driver's license"，英国是 "driving licence"。例如：
"Getting a driver's license is a challenging task."
"My driving licence is about to expire soon."
至于摇号和限号，它们的英文表述是：
摇号：虽然不是lottery，但可以理解为 "vehicle allocation lottery"。比如：
"He failed to secure a license plate through the lottery system."
而"限号"，正确的表达是 "restricted driving e to odd/even number plates" 或者 "limited by traffic restrictions"，比如：
"My car is restricted from driving today because of the even-odd plate rule."
最后，当我们不小心收到一张罚单，该怎么说呢？
罚单：通常是 "traffic ticket" 或者 "parking fine"。例如：
"Officer, I apologize. I didn't realize I was speeding. I'm new here and often mix up units."
"I'm sorry, but that doesn't justify speeding. I'll have to issue you a speeding ticket."
驾驶时，遵守交通规则至关重要。记住，无论何时何地，安全第一！
