| 释义 | turnpike /tɜːnpaɪk; name tɜːrnpaɪk/ [countable](in the us) a highway that people have to pay a toll (= an amount of money) to use（美国）收费公路◆turnpike tolls are going up next month.公路通行费下个月加价。ⓘ in the names of individual roads, turnpike is given a capital letter.在每条公路的名称中 turnpike 首字母要大写◆the new jersey turnpike新泽西收费公路in informal spoken english you can also say pike.非正式口语中也可以简略为 pike◆i was going north on the jersey pike.我正在新泽西公路向北行驶。note 辨析 highway, freeway, interstate or turnpike? highway is the most general of these terms and can mean any main road connecting and going through cities. an interstate is a highway with two or more lanes of traffic in each direction; you can only enter or leave the interstate at particular points (called exits in american english, not 'junctions'). in the western us interstates are usually called freeways: this was originally to distinguish them from the turnpikes of the east, which you have to pay to travel on. the same road may be referred to in different ways in different parts of the country. for example, interstate 90 goes from east to west across the whole country; in massachussetts in the east it is called a turnpike because you pay to travel on the part that runs through massachusetts. in the west it is called the freeway. in the places in between it may be referred to as a highway or by its letter and number (i-90).这几个词中，highway 含义最宽泛，可以指城市间或城市内的干道。interstate 指每个方向有两条或两条以上车道的公路，只能从特定地点进出公路。这些特定地点在美式英语中称为 exit，不称作 junction。在美国西部，interstate 通常称为 freeway （不收费公路），开始是为了区别于东部的收费公路 turnpike。同一条公路在美国的不同地方可能有不同的名称，如 90 号州际公路横贯美国的东西部，在东部的马萨诸塞州被称为 turnpike，因为这条公路在该州境内的路段是收费的；而在西部，这条公路被称作 freeway。在其间的其他地方，这条公路有时称作 highway，有时称作 i-90。 turn·pike /`tɜnˏpaɪk; ˈtɜːnpaɪk/n [c]a main road that you have to pay to use （付费）高速公路 |
