《中英對照讀新聞》Beijing mayor:Traffic and pollution still problems, but can be tackled for Olympics 北京市長:交通與污染仍是問題,但為了奧運可加以解決
Beijing's increasingly clogged roads and polluted air are problems that the government will have to resolve in time for the 2008 Olympic Games, the mayor said, expressing confidence that the goals will be met.
北京日益壅塞的道路與污染的空氣,是當地政府在2008年奧運之前必須及時解決的問題,(該市)市長說,並表示有信心能夠達成目標。
"In Beijing, we have a salient traffic problem," Mayor Wang Qishan told a group of visiting American newspaper editors.
「在北京,我們有明顯的交通問題,」市長王岐山向一群來訪的美國報紙編輯說。
Government figures show that the capital added new vehicles at the rate of about 1,000 a day last year, giving the city a total of 2.6 million vehicles, which has resulted in severe congestion and a growing smog problem.
政府數據顯示,(這座中國)首都去年新增車輛的速度為每天1000輛,使得這座城市的車輛總數達260萬輛,導致嚴重(道路)壅塞以及持續惡化的廢氣問題。
Additionally, Wang said, making drivers and pedestrians follow road rules are a tough task, especially when car-owners are coming up with increasingly sly ways of avoiding being caught.
此外,王岐山說,讓駕駛與行人遵守道路規則,也是一項艱鉅的任務,特別是當車主為免被抓,想出愈來愈狡猾的方法。
Some make small changes to their license plates to deceive traffic cameras or use special reflective surfaces so that they are too shiny to be seen when photographed, he said.
他說,有些人在汽車車牌上動手腳以便瞞騙交通違規相機,或是利用反光表面,讓車牌變得太亮,以致(違規時)無法被拍攝下來。
