英语的拓展阅读

  交通(Transportation)

  交通是运输和邮电的总称。运输是人和物借助交通工具的载运,产生有目的的`空间位移,邮电则是邮政和电信的总称。

  改革以来,我国的铁路、公路、水运和民航等运输方式均得到较快的发展,而且随着交通运输事业市场化程度的不断提高,各种运输方式之间的市场竞争也已全面展开。但是,由于多年来运输市场分属不同部门管理,缺乏统一的总体规划和政策指导,各种运输方式发展很不平衡:公路高速发展,近几年年投入2000多亿元,高速公路已达3万多公里,位居世界第二;铁路、水运相对发展缓慢,铁路客运量十多年来一直徘徊不前,运输份额持续下降,公路运输承担了大量的长距离大宗散货运输;衔接不同运输方式的综合运输枢纽建设严重滞后,铁路、公路和水运在同类客货源上盲目竞争的现象较为普遍。

  拓展阅读:

  We are well aware of the role of modern transportation in our lives. Not too long ago, people endured great hardship in order to make a long journey. Moving heavy goods from one town to another involved hard labor. Today, we enjoy the convenience of various kinds of vehicles including ships, planes, trains, and automobiles, which allow us to go wherever we choose and make our workload much lighter.

  But modern transportation, along with convenience has brought some problems. With more drivers on the road, there has been an increase in traffic jams and accidents. The exhaust from automobiles has added to our air pollution, not to mention additional noise caused by trucks and cars on the road.

  Like everything else, modern transportation has more than one face. Here in China, we look to our government experts to solve these problems. Scientists are working on developing modern fuel that produces less pollution. However, we can all help reduce air pollution from automobiles by only driving when it is necessary and using public transportation when available.
