常見(jiàn)英文媒體報(bào)道,說(shuō)中國(guó)游客如何在英國(guó)的High Street購(gòu)物。High Street是指“高檔街”嗎?其他國(guó)家有沒(méi)有這樣的街道呢?我們今天就來(lái)了解一下。
High Street (or the High Street) is a metonym for the generic name of the primary business street of towns or cities, especially in the United Kingdom. It is usually a focal point for shops and shopkeepers in city centers, and is most often used in reference to retailing.
High Street(或the High Street)是城鎮(zhèn)主要商業(yè)街通用的一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)喻說(shuō)法,可以直接稱(chēng)為“商業(yè)街”,在英國(guó)尤為常用。High Street通常是市中心商店和商家最集中的地方,也經(jīng)常被用來(lái)指代零售業(yè)。
The equivalent in the United States, Canada and Ireland is Main Street, a term also used in smaller towns and villages in Scotland and parts of rural Australia. In Jamaica, North East England and some sections of Canada and the United States, the main commercial district is Front Street. (Source: Wikipedia)
在美國(guó)、加拿大和愛(ài)爾蘭則多用Main Street來(lái)指代商鋪集中的商業(yè)街,蘇格蘭一些小鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)和澳大利亞部分郊區(qū)也用這個(gè)說(shuō)法。在牙買(mǎi)加、英格蘭東北部以及加拿大和美國(guó)部分地區(qū),主要的商業(yè)區(qū)則用Front Street表示。
