122. Changes in Modes of Transportation 交通方式的變化

As can be revealed from the above graph, we can clearly identify many significant changes in modes of transportation used by city dwellers from 1950 to 1990.

從上面圖表中，我們可以清楚地看出1950年至1990年城市居民的交通方式發(fā)生了很大的變化

A very noticeable trend was the steady decrease in transportation by bicycle and on foot. In 1950, more than 50% of people traveled to work on their own, while by 1990, less than 20% of travelers preferred cycling or walking to work.

。其中一個(gè)很明顯的趨勢(shì)是騎自行車(chē)和步行的人數(shù)逐漸減少。在1950年，大約50%的居民自行上班。但是到了1990年，只有不到20%的居民愿意騎自行車(chē)或步行上班。

During the same period, there was a large increase in the use of automobiles. In 1950, very few people owned a car. By 1970, approximately one out of every four travelers drove to work. This increased again, until 1990, when one in three travelers drove to work.

與此同時(shí)，使用汽車(chē)出行的人大為增加。在1950年的時(shí)候，很少有人擁有汽車(chē)。然而到了1970年，大約有四分之一的人開(kāi)車(chē)上班，而到了1990年，大約又增加到三分之一的人開(kāi)車(chē)上班。

When considering the reasons for these changes, people's living style has to be especially concerned. With the increasing number of people going by buses or cars, fewer and fewer people would like to be cyclists or walkers.

究其原因，主要是人們的生活方式發(fā)生了很大的變化。隨著越來(lái)越多的人乘坐公共汽車(chē)或小汽車(chē)上班，騎自行車(chē)和步行的人越來(lái)越少。

As people enjoyed the convenience and speed of buses and cars, they are less likely to have patience and interest in cycling and walking. In the future, with the development of science and technology, more changes in people's means of transportation will be awaiting us.

人們?cè)絹?lái)越青睞汽車(chē)的方便和快速，而不再有耐心和興趣騎車(chē)或步行。將來(lái)，隨著科技的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展，人們的出行方式將會(huì)發(fā)生更大的變化。
