瓶颈

a place where vehicles slow down or stop because the road narrows or there is an obstruction

What is a "bottleneck"?

A bottleneck refers to a section of the road where vehicles slow down or stop due to a buildup, usually because the road narrows or there is an obstacle. This happens when there are more vehicles trying to pass through a limited space, causing delays and long lines of traffic. Common places for bottlenecks include areas with construction, accidents, or exits that only have one lane. Bottlenecks can lead to traffic jams and make travel times longer.

What is a "fender-bender"?

A fender-bender is a minor car accident, usually involving a small collision between vehicles at low speeds. It often results in little damage, mostly to the fenders or bumpers of the cars involved.

Fender-benders commonly happen in places like parking lots or traffic jams.

What is "rush hour"?

Rush hour is the period of the day when there is a high volume of people traveling to or from work, school, or other activities. This typically happens in the early morning and late afternoon or evening, when traffic on the roads, buses, and trains is at its busiest. During rush hour, public transportation services and roadways can become crowded, leading to longer travel times. It is a common challenge in cities where many people rely on public transport or cars for their daily commutes.

What is a "shoulder"?

A shoulder is the area of land next to the roadway, usually on the outer edge. It is typically used for emergency stopping or as a safety zone for vehicles, such as when they need to pull over. The shoulder can also be used for pedestrian walkways or bike lanes in some areas. It provides extra space beside the main lanes of traffic, helping to avoid accidents or allowing vehicles to stop without blocking traffic.

What is the origin of the idiom "a tough row to hoe" and when to use it?

The idiom "a tough row to hoe" originated from the agricultural practice of hoeing rows in a field to prepare the soil for planting. This expression is used to suggest that the task at hand requires considerable effort, endurance, and perseverance, just as tilling a row of soil can be physically demanding and labor-intensive.
