[誤] Excuse me, I am twenty minutes late because of the busy traffic.
[正] Excuse me, I am twenty minutes late because of the heavy traffic.
注:busy 的確可以作“繁忙”講,如:the busy farming season(農(nóng)忙季節(jié)),a busy day(繁忙的一天)等,但
“交通繁忙”卻是約定俗成的說法,要用 heavy 形容 traffic,而不是 busy。在大城市,交通一般都比較繁忙,尤其在 rush hours(上下班的高峰期),常常會出現(xiàn) traffic jam(交通阻塞)。如果要表達“街上車輛很少”,可以說 There is little traffic on the roads。
