THOUGHTS: This is a short phrase, likely a start of a title or address. I should translate "Maryland Department of Transportation" as a proper name/title and "State Highway" as a descriptive term. * **Maryland**: Translate as "Maryland" (proper noun). * **Department of Transportation**: This is a standard term, usually translated as "Sở Giao thông Vận tải" or "Bộ Giao thông Vận tải" (if federal). Since it's a state department, "Sở Giao thông Vận tải" is appropriate. * **State Highway**: "Đường cao tốc tiểu bang" or "Quốc lộ tiểu bang". "Quốc lộ" implies a national road, but is often used for major state highways too. "Đường cao tốc tiểu bang" is more literal for 'state highway'. However, "Quốc lộ" is often used in Vietnamese for major roads that cross states or are maintained by state/federal authorities. Given it's a "State Highway" *department*, "Quốc lộ" seems a better fit for the *division*. If it was just "a state highway", "đường cao tốc tiểu bang" would be fine. But as part of an official name, "Quốc lộ" often refers to the higher-level administrative category. Let's go with "Quốc lộ" for the division/system. So: "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland Quốc lộ..." Let's re-evaluate "State Highway". If it's part of the department's name, like "State Highway Administration", it would be "Cục Quản lý Quốc lộ Tiểu bang". If it's just "State Highway" trailing off, it likely refers to the "State Highway Administration" or a specific "State Highway" division. Given the ellipsis, it's a fragment. "Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway..." * **Maryland Department of Transportation**: Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland * **State Highway**: This is tricky without the full context. * If it means "and the State Highway Administration", it would be "và Cục Quản lý Quốc lộ Tiểu bang". * If it's just "State Highway [something]", e.g., "State Highway System", it would be "Hệ thống Quốc lộ Tiểu bang". Since it's cut off, I should translate the *words* as directly as possible, assuming it's part of a longer official name. "State Highway" as a standalone component of an agency name often implies "State Highway Administration" or "State Highway Division". Let's try to capture "State Highway" as a functional part of the transportation department. "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland" is clear. "State Highway" could be "Ban Đường cao tốc Tiểu bang" or "Ban Quốc lộ Tiểu bang". Or simply "Quốc lộ" if it's a specific division. Let's assume it's like "State Highway Administration", which is a common structure in the US. "Cục Quản lý Quốc lộ Tiểu bang" (State Highway Administration) If it's just "State Highway", it's more ambiguous. "Đường cao tốc Tiểu bang" or "Quốc lộ Tiểu bang". Given the context of a "Department of Transportation", the "State Highway" part often refers to the *division* or *administration* responsible for state highways. So, simply translating "State Highway" as "Đường cao tốc Tiểu bang" might be too generic. I'll lean towards how such entities are usually named in Vietnam. A "Department" (Sở) often has "Divisions" or "Bureaus" (Cục/Ban). If it's "Maryland Department of Transportation, State Highway [Administration/Division]", then: "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland, Ban Quốc lộ Tiểu bang..." or "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland, Cục Đường cao tốc Tiểu bang..." However, the instruction is "Return ONLY translated text." so I shouldn't add any interpretations like "administration". I need to translate "State Highway". Let's go with the most direct translation of the words in an official context. * Maryland: Maryland * Department of Transportation: Sở Giao thông Vận tải * State Highway: Đường cao tốc Tiểu bang (or Quốc lộ Tiểu bang) "Quốc lộ" is more commonly used for state-level or national-level main roads in Vietnam. "Đường cao tốc" specifically means "expressway/freeway". While US "State Highways" aren't always expressways, "Quốc lộ" implies a main road under state administration. So, "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland Quốc lộ Tiểu bang..." This sounds a bit truncated. If it's a specific division, "Ban Quốc lộ Tiểu bang" might be more natural. But I'm not supposed to add words. Let's stick to the literal. "State Highway" can be "Quốc lộ Tiểu bang" when referring to the *system* or *type* of road under the department. "Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway..." -> "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland Quốc lộ Tiểu bang..." This seems the most direct and avoids adding implicit organizational structures. The ellipsis means it's incomplete. Final check: * Maryland -> Maryland * Department of Transportation -> Sở Giao thông Vận tải * State Highway -> Quốc lộ Tiểu bang (or Đường cao tốc Tiểu bang). "Quốc lộ" is generally preferred for this kind of "state road" designation in a governmental context. Result: "Sở Giao thông Vận tải Maryland Quốc lộ Tiểu bang..."
