About 5,00 years ago, a "road" was a type (: kind/sort/pattern) of journey (: a long trip on road), as there were few actual roads for crossing (: going across) England's hills and plains. It was difficult to travel between towns, and the trip required (: called for) walking or taking a horse across several kilometers. Travelers would simply find the smoothest route. Eventually, the route itself was called the "road." The writer William Shakespeare shows how the word started to change in the 15th century. He used the word "road" with both meaning in his plays.
"Like the martlet (類燕子),
Builds in the weather on the outward (往外的; 外面的 outside) wall,
Even in the force (=> violence) and road of casualty (一路上災禍: 比喻災難 calamity)"

"At last, with easy roads 一路上緩緩而行, he came to Leicester"(亨利八世; 第二幕)
段3:
A street, on the other hand, meant a short path where you would find houses and other buildings. Streets are where people would live, socialize, and do their shopping at the market. Today, when we think of a road, we imagine any paved street that connects two places. The words now have quite similar meanings.

"和 「street」 相同，「road」 也是一個大道。但和 「street」 街道不同的是，「road」 是專門為車輛行駛設計的大型堅硬路面。「Street」 和 「road」 的另一個不同點是：「street」 通常侷限於社區、城鎮裡，而 「road」 道路，不僅連接城市的各個地方，而且貫穿環繞城市、貫穿全國。
Roads go everywhere. 道路無處不在，無論是在城鎮、地標處還是海邊沙灘上。築路的材料可以多種多樣，比如：「Tarmac」 柏油碎石路面，「gravel」 石子路面。非住宅區周圍的 「road」 旁邊通常沒有人行道，這是由於過往車輛的速度不適合行人行走。"
"在一條道路 「road」 當中，通常畫有交通標誌。比如，在英國的道路上，一條實心的白線把路分成了兩半。路面上用來分隔車輛的路徑被稱為車道 「lane」。「Lane」 有幾種類型，例如：fast lane 快車道、middle lane 中間車道、slow lane 慢車道、bus lane 公共汽車車道、cycle lane 自行車車道、oncoming lane 對面車道。
Example
The accident happened when the driver swerved across the oncoming lane and hit a tree.
Feifei
「Lane」 本身也可以是一種街道路面，可以像 「street」 街道或 「road」 道路一樣。但它們之間的區別在於大小。「Lane」 通常比 「street」 和 「road」 更小或更窄。比如， 「a road」 一條道路上通常有兩輛車通過的空間，而 「a lane」 小街道上可能只有一條車道。
Example
You’ve scratched the car turning into a lane that is clearly too narrow! Be more careful!"
"最後我們來說說 「avenue」 和 「boulevard」 這兩個詞。首先，只有城市裡有 「boulevards」 大道，鄉村裡沒有 「boulevards」，但鄉村有 「avenues」 大街。「Avenue」 通常所指的是那種寬闊的鄉間道路，兩旁種滿了大樹，有一個大門一直延伸到私人住宅之間的大道。
Example
Welcome to Downton Abbey. Please follow the avenue up to the house and park there."
"根據上面我們講過的內容，可以做出以下的總結：「street」 街道，是最普遍的道路，最常見於城鎮及周邊地區，「street」 包括供人行走的人行道和供車輛使用的道路 「road」。「Road」 道路，馬路， 是專門供車輛行駛使用的，並劃分有多個車道 「lanes」，「lane」 也可以是一種 「street」 街道或 「road」 馬路，但通常要窄得多。相比之下，「boulevard」 和 「avenue」 則指更大、更寬、綠樹成蔭的 「街道」，這些大街道的終點往往是某個重要的地方或建築。
另外，要強調一點，在給道路起名字的時候，「street、road、lane、avenue」 和 「boulevard」 並不總是與其字面的定義相關，人們可以任意選擇一個來作為路名。比如，倫敦的牛津街 「Oxford Street」 和托特納姆宮路 「Tottenham Court Road」，這兩條街相連，道路沒什麼區別，但一個用了 「street」，一個卻用了 「road」。
希望大家現在能分得清該如何使用 「street、road、lane、avenue」 和 「boulevard」 這五個表示 「街道」 的詞語。"
