overnight bus 卧铺客车
Two traffic accidents claimed the lives of 48 people on Sunday, renewing concerns over the safety of overnight buses and vans carrying children. 周日发生的两起交通事故导致48人丧生,再次引发人们对于卧铺客车和搭载儿童车辆安全的关注。 Overnight bus也叫sleeper bus,就是陕西延安事故中涉及的“卧铺客车”。这种客车为double-decker bus(双层客车),因为是long distance bus(长途客车),乘客需要在车上过夜,所以也叫overnight bus。 “追尾”多用rear-end表示,比如:The truck was rear-ended by a sleeper bus.(那辆货车被一辆卧铺客车追尾了。)“追尾事故”则可用rear-end collision来表示。 |
