“高峰时间”常见的英文表达是 “rush hour” ,它既可以指上班高峰时间(morning rush hour),也可以指下班高峰时间(evening rush hour) 。例如:
The traffic is always terrible during the rush hour.(在高峰时间交通总是很糟糕。)
I try to avoid driving during the rush hour.(我尽量避免在高峰时间开车。)
此外,还可以用 “peak hour” 来表达类似意思,不过 “rush hour” 使用更为普遍。例如:
There are more passengers on the subway during peak hours.(高峰时段地铁上的乘客更多。 )
