no standing 与free-standing:
no standing 意思是不准在此停车,即使司机还在车上也不行。也就是“don't stop”或“no car at all”,通常用在大城市交通十分拥挤的地方。至于“no parking”,意思也是不准在此停车,但司机还可以坐在车里一段时间,必要时,可随时移动车子,也就是“you may stay in your car for a short period of time。”
例如:
Walking along the street, I saw a “no standing” sign.
走在路上,我看到一个“不准停车”的路牌。
In New York City there are many “no standing” signs (posted) on the streets.
在纽约市,路上有许多“不准停车”的牌子。
“No parking” signs sprang up around the school campus.
校园里出现一些“不准停车”的路牌。
spring up = appeared 也就是说:……Signs were put up around……但是free-standing是形容词,意思是独立式的,多指为特别用途而盖的单独建筑物或指一大建筑特的某种装饰。
