眾所周知,交通信號燈(traffic lights/ traffic signals)有「紅燈停,綠燈行(The green light allows traffic to proceed. The red signal prohibits any traffic from proceeding.)」之說。
[SIPA]
「開綠燈」指交通路口打開準許行人車輛通過的信號(give the go-ahead signal,give the green light),後多用於比喻「允許某事(allow someone to do something or something to happen)」,或「提供方便條件(make easier for)」。
例句:
官僚主義總是為腐敗大開綠燈。 Bureaucracy always gives the green light to corruption.
我們永遠不會給賭博開綠燈。 We'll never give the green light to gambling.
