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：打扰了，我已经在这儿等了 15分钟了。你知道交通为什么这么拥堵吗？
陌生人：一辆货车在路上翻车了，堵了路，所以交通被阻塞。
史蒂文：哦，多糟糕啊！这交通真令人受不了。
陌生人：是啊！出了事故以后，交通陷于停顿状态。我们早些走就能避开交通拥挤时间了。
史蒂文：我同意，但是现在我们必须等。天空阴沉沉的，很是闷热。恐怕暴风雨要来了。
陌生人：别担心。据说交通拥挤就要结束了。
史蒂文：是啊，但愿如此吧！谢谢你告诉我这些。
陌生人：很乐意这么做。
