【參考范文】 The Traffic Jam
The picture shows a serious traffic jam during the rush hour. Clearly, both lanes are jammed by automobiles, and there is no doubt that the only thing the held-up drivers can do is to wait. The traffic jam is a serious problem in big cities. Students are late for classes; workers of every walk of life are late for work; and travelers miss their trains or flights.
When talking about the inconvenience caused by traffic jams, most people would blame the increasing numbers of cars. Yet this is only one factor. Another reason is the relatively under-developed infrastructure construction, namely, the lack of wide roads, streets and highways. Furthermore, people's weak sense of traffic regulations may result in more road accidents that in turn add to the seriousness of traffic jams.
To solve the problem, stiffer punishment for breaking traffic rules is necessary. Besides, a long-term planning of road construction must be taken into consideration. Still another solution will be the advocacy of public transports and car-pool, an effective means to increase the transport capacity during rush hours.
【參考譯文】 交通擁堵
圖片描述的是交通高峰時段嚴重的交通擁堵，雙側(cè)車道都被汽車占滿，毫無疑問，被困住的司機們所能做的一件事情就是等待。交通擁堵是大城市所面臨的一個嚴重問題。學生上課遲到，各行各業(yè)的職工上班遲到，旅客誤了火車或者飛機。
當談到交通擁堵帶來的不便時，大部分人都會責怪越來越多的私家車數(shù)量。但這只是一方面因素。另一個原因是基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)相對落后，也就是道路不夠?qū)掗煛４送?，人們交通?guī)則意識的淡薄可能會導致路上的事故增多，這反過來又會加劇交通擁堵的嚴重程度。
為解決這一問題，必須對違反交通規(guī)則的行為進行更為嚴厲的處罰。此外，必須考慮道路建設(shè)的長期規(guī)劃。另一個解決方法就是倡導公共交通和拼車出行，這可以有效增加高峰期間的運載能力。
