stoppage

名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A pause or halt of some activity.
    — The length of the stoppages could not well be reduced; indeed, they are already too short if we are to believe the tale now current of a wandering Jew sort of passenger—a lady of advanced years who can only alight from a train backwards. Every time she begins to get out a porter rushes up crying "Hurry up, ma'am; train's going!"—and pushes her in again!
  2. Something that forms an obstacle to continued activity; a blockage or obstruction.
