Cars in America(美国的汽车)
Cars in America
Cars are an important part of life
in the United States. The car made the United
States
a
nation
on wheels.
And
it helped to make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The cars provide the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation.
The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact timetable.And the freedom a car gives them is what Americans want most to have.
The decrease of gas supplies has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.
美国的汽车
汽车是美国生活的重要组成部分。汽车使得美国成为轮子上的国家，它也帮助美国成为现在的样子。
汽车在美国如此盛行有三个主要原因。首先这个国家地域辽阔，而美国人喜欢在其间来回走动。汽车提供了最舒适最便宜的交通方式。
汽车如此盛行的第二个原因是美国从未真正发展过有效廉价的公共交通这一事实。美国的长途火车从未像世界上其它地方那么普及。如今飞机提供了空中服务的良好体系。但是飞机太贵了，不能频繁使用。
而第三个原因是最为重要的。
美国人的独立精神是使得汽车盛行的真正原因。
美国人不喜欢等公共汽车、火车甚至飞机。他们不喜欢必须遵循精确的时间表。汽车给予他们的自由正是美国人最想得到的。
汽油供给的减少已经给美国人带来了巨大的问题。但答案不是发展更大型的公交体系。真正的解决方式必须是一种新型的汽车，那种不需要使用很多燃料的汽车。
Car Pollution
Each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads as millions of new cars are proced. One out of six Americans works at making cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling up gas. Americans couldn't live without cars!
Most Americans would find it hard to imagine life without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution caused by cars. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to make a car without pollution. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field is slow.
Another way is to replace car engines with something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we have to make some changes in our lives. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to use bicycles, which are thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory cioses down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment. Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.
汽车污染
上路的汽车数量逐年增长，同时，每年都会生产出几百万辆新车。在美国，每六个人中就有一个从事与汽车相关的工作：造车、开车、修路、加油等等。
离开汽车，美国人无法生活!
大部分美国人简直无法想象没有车的生活会是什么样子。但是一些人也已经意识到汽车造成的空气污染已成为严重的问题。被污染的空气具有毒性，并且危害健康。
解决空气污染的方法之一就是制造无污染汽车。但是生产清洁汽车说来容易做来难。
目前，这一领域的进展十分缓慢。
另一个方法就是使用其他东西替代汽车发动机。发明家正在研制蒸汽汽车和电车。但是许多厂家认为我们可以使用的实用型汽车的诞生可能还需要几年时间。
要想阻止全球化的汽车污染，我们需要对自己的生活方式做出适当的改变。例如，在美国，需要缩减汽车总量。鼓励人们使用有助空气清洁的自行车。
但这种改变不能一蹴而就。一旦汽车工厂关闭，就会有大量工人失去工作。与失业相比，空气污染似乎就不再那么重要了。尽管汽车为我们带来了更加舒适的生活，同时，它也带来了新的问题。
‘贰’ 交通小知识用英语怎么说
1.英语的关于交通规则的小知识（附中文）
1. Always buckle up. 永远系好安全带。
Buckle up指的是把安全带系好，还可以说fasten the seatbelt.一般来讲，各个州都要求司机和司机副座上的乘客系安全带，不过现在很多州更为严格，要求普通轿车的所有乘客都要系安全带，否则被发现就要受处罚。记得我曾看过一个公益广告，警察出来说：“If you don't buckle up, you'd better listen up.”意思就是“如果你不系安全带，那么你最好听清楚了。”Listen up这个词组在口语里也很常用，它被用来提醒大家的注意，就是“听好了！”的意思。例如老师要宣布一件很重要的事情，但是班上乱哄哄的，老师就会说：“Listen up!”。
2. Put your children in back！把您的孩子放在后座上！
美国法律规定，12岁以及12岁以下的儿童一律要坐在后座上，而且4岁以下的婴幼儿要使用特殊的座位装置（我们在谈论车子的文章里，曾经提到过）。这是因为，儿童的骨质比较柔软，遇到危险紧急刹车，容易受到更大的冲击。
3. Never drunk drive！ 决不酒后驾驶！
美国的醉酒问题很严重，酒后开车出的事故也比其他原因的事故多。据说，每五个美国人中，有三个在他的一生中，都会遇到酒后开车的大大小小的事故。各州对于酒后驾驶的处罚也非常严厉，除了罚款，扣分，试情形还要坐没衡牢。你可能还会听说DUI Law，也就是Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol，这条法规禁止在使用毒品，造成神志不清醒的药物和酒精的情况下开车，抓到了，处罚也非常严厉。很多美国人有去酒吧喝酒聊天的习惯，所以交通部门建议最好有一个人保持清醒以便驾驶。另外，如果真的喝多了，有些酒吧也会免费提供出租车送你回家。
4. You always have to stop at a stop sign. 在停车标志前，你永远要停。
Stop sign，停车标志，通常在比较小的路口出现，它起到了红绿灯的作用。这些路口因为比较小，车辆来往少，所以没有必要设置红绿灯，但是为了安全起见，车子开到路口，停一下，看看十字路口有没有行人车辆，再继续行驶。如果有，那么一定是先让行人，车辆就本着先来后到的原则了。
5. In a crosswalk, pedestrians have the right of way. 在过街人行道上，行人有先行权。
这当然不是说，这边绿灯了，行人还要通过。基本在各个十字路口，都有指示行人的红陵伏绿灯，行人也都按照这个红绿灯的指示行动。有时候，尺察携由于行人比较少，这种红绿灯不是次次都变绿。因此，当你要过马路的时候，会发现路边的柱子上有一个按钮，按一下，控制中心就知道有人要过马路，过一会儿绿灯就会亮。如果你开车过十字路口，有行人过马路，无论何种情况，行人都有先行权，这在美国是起码的常识，也是一个讲文明公民的标志。
