عبارت انگلیسی
shoulder
معنی و توضیح
In this podcast, the word “shoulder” means the side of a road, where cars shouldn’t drive: “When there isn’t a bicycle lane, cyclists usually ride on the shoulder.” A “shoulder” is also the part of one’s body at the top of one’s arm and next to one’s neck: “Casey is carrying a heavy backpack on his shoulders.” As a verb, “to shoulder (something)” means to accept doing something even though it’s difficult: “When her Mom died, Beth shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters.” Sometimes people offer a friend “a shoulder to cry on,” meaning that he or she feels sympathetic toward another person and is willing to listen to him or her talk about a problem. 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited.

This episode is called “A Traffic Jam.” It’s a story about someone who gets on the road to drive, and finds that there are many other cars there that are slowing traffic down. Let’s get started.
I was on my way to a restaurant to meet my date for dinner when I hit a traffic jam. I saw that the road was congested, but since I had to take the bridge to reach downtown, I had no choice but to stay on that road.
The traffic was bumper-to-bumper. One crazy driver even tried to drive on the shoulder to get around the backup. But as it turns out, there wasn’t any way to bypass it because the backup wasn’t due to an accident, a stalled car or some rubberneckers.
