Steven: Excuse me, I've been waiting here for fifteen minutes. Do you know why the traffic is so heavy?
Stranger: A lorry overturned on the road and blocked it, so all the traffic was held up.
Steven: Oh, what a terrible situation! This traffic is unbearable.
Stranger: Yeah, traffic was brought to a standstill by the accident. If we had gone early we would miss the traffic.
Steven: I agree with you. But now we have to wait. The sky is overcast, and it is very sultry. I fear a thunder storm is brewing.
Stranger: Don't worry. The traffic jam is said to be over soon.
Steven: Yes, I hope so. Thank you for telling me this.
Stranger: It's my pleasure.

史蒂文：打擾了，我已經(jīng)在這兒等了 15分鐘了。你知道交通為什么這么擁堵嗎？
陌生人：一輛貨車在路上翻車了，堵了路，所以交通被阻塞。
史蒂文：哦，多糟糕啊！這交通真令人受不了。
陌生人：是啊！出了事故以后，交通陷于停頓狀態(tài)。我們早些走就能避開交通擁擠時間了。
史蒂文：我同意，但是現(xiàn)在我們必須等。天空陰沉沉的，很是悶熱。恐怕暴風雨要來了。
陌生人：別擔心。據(jù)說交通擁擠就要結束了。
史蒂文：是啊，但愿如此吧！謝謝你告訴我這些。
陌生人：很樂意這么做。
