That really would cause some serious gridlock – that means roads in towns and cities are so blocked that traffic is unable to move.
这真的会导致非常严重的交通堵塞---也就是说城镇道路拥堵以致于汽车无法移动。
It’s like that now in some developing countries where there has been a huge increase in car ownership;as people become wealthier, they want to own a car. But in one Indian city for example, that’s a big problem, as we can hear now from the BBC’s Theo Leggett. What word does he use to describe the chaotic mix of different types of vehicles?
现在像一些发展中国家,汽车的数量在激增;因为人们更有钱了,他们想要属于自己的车。例如在印度的一个城市,这是一个很大的问题,现在我们就来听一下来自BBC的Theo Leggett的报道。他将会用什么样的词来描述不同类型车辆的无序混乱组合?
This is Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, a fast growing city and a potent symbol of recent economic success.But it has a problem or to be more precise it has 1.8 million problems.That’s how many motor vehicles there are here, a maelstrom of cars, lorries, auto rickshaws and motorbikes, all crammed into roads that can’t cope with this much traffic.
这里是 Mumbai,印度的商业中心,一个快速发展的城市,近年来成为经济成功的有力象征。但是它有一个问题,更准确的说是拥有180万(辆车)的问题。这里有很多的机动车,汽车、 货车、 三轮车和摩托车,一股脑涌入到路上,道路无法承受如此多的汽车。
That’s Theo Leggett in Mumbai – a city which he describes as a potent symbol – a powerful symbol – of India’s economic success.But that success has come at a price – in other words, there is a negative side to the story.
这就是Theo Leggett在Mumbai--一个他描述为印度经济成功有力象征或者说强有力象征的报道。但是那种成功已经付出了代价的--换句话说,成功的故事也有负面。
Yes – the traffic, which he describes as a maelstrom – so a confusing, chaotic mix of vehicles which are crammed – bumper to bumper, so squeezed closely together in the city’s streets.
是的,交通,他形容为漩涡--如此混乱,无序,头尾相接,紧紧的挤在城市的道路上。
So when the commuters start their journeys - or get behind the wheel - in the morning rush-hour – the busiest time of day – they could spend hours just trying to make a relatively short journey to work.
因此,当上班族开始一天上班旅程的时候或者发动汽车的时候--在早高峰--道路一天最繁忙的时刻,或许他们要花上数小时才能移动相对较短的路程。
Well I think it would be quicker to walk!That’s certainly a good option in London, where research has found that traffic is slower now than it was 100 years ago.
我认为步行会更快些!这的确是一个不错的选择,在伦敦,研究发现交通比 100 年前要慢了。
So is this the end of the road for cars?
这就是汽车的尽头的了吗?
You mean will we stop using them? I think not. And Bjorn Lomborg, Director of Copenhagen Consensus Centre, agrees.Even with good public transport – that’s bus and train services – he says we love our cars. What does he think the solution is?
