“直角跑道”英語怎么說

　　名詞解釋：哈爾濱市通河縣清河林業(yè)局文化中心將體育場的彎道修成了直角，應付上級檢查。你知道怎么用英語表達“直角跑道”嗎?

　　Bungling sport officials in the north-eastern Heilongjiang province have built a rectangular running track because they were concerned they wouldn't get an oval one finished in time for an imminent inspection.

　　The bizarre track was built as a part of a major refurbishment of a 10,000 square foot stadium in Tonghe County.

　　With the project running behind schedule and an inspection approaching, managers made the decision to create a running track with awkward 90-degree bends as they are easier to measure and lay out.

　　在東北黑龍江省，笨手笨腳的體育局工作人員建了一個直角跑道——因為他們擔心來不及在日益臨近的檢查前建成一個橢圓形跑道。

　　這條奇形怪狀的跑道是通河縣一體育館整體翻修的一部分，這個體育館占地達10000平方英尺。

　　由于工程拖拖拉拉，未能及時完成，而檢查卻日益臨近，管理人員決定，建一條難看的90度直角跑道，因為這樣的跑道測量和鋪設起來更容易。

　　【講解】

　　文中的rectangular running track就是“直角跑道”的意思，也可以說成是right-angled running track。其中，rectangular在此用作形容詞，解釋為“直角的，成直角的”。track是一個可數(shù)名詞，解釋為“跑道”，track and field是指“田徑運動”。

　　此外，文中的imminent是一個形容詞，解釋為“臨近的，迫在眉睫的”，比如imminent storm(即將來臨的暴風雨)。
