Hi BBC, I like your question and answer programme. I have a question too; Americans use different words from the British such as eggplant and aubergine, or fall and autumn. Could you make a summary? Thanks.

Today we'll take a look at road signs and driving terminology.
Listen out for the following words:
汽车的挡风玻璃 windshield
改道，绕行 detour
转盘 traffic circle
超车 to pass a vehicle
货车 trucks
汽车后备箱 trunk
让行 yield
Who has right of way?
紧急信号灯 emergency signals
Can you match these words that are distinctly American with their British equivalents? Not sure? Listen to the programme.
If you have a question you would like to ask our team, email us at questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk.
We might make a programme about your question.
