SINCE Henry Ford turned it into a mass-market product a century ago, the car has deliveredmany benefits. It has boosted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people alot of fun. No wonder mankind has taken to the vehicle with such enthusiasm that there arenow a billion automobiles on the world s roads.
一个世纪之前,亨利福特实现了汽车的大规模生产,自那以后汽车就就给我们带来了诸多好处。它的出现促进了经济增长,增加了社会流动性,也给人们带来了很多乐趣。这也就难怪人们对汽车会如此情有独钟了,因而现在有十亿量汽车奔驰在世界各地的道路上。
But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates congestion and killspeople. An astonishing 1.24m people die, and as many as 50m are hurt, in road accidents eachyear. Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In somecar-choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a spaceto park.
但是汽车也带来了很多问题。它会污染空气,造成交通拥堵,带来人员伤亡。在每年发生的交通事故中死亡人数高达124万人,也有500万人因此受伤。每年驾驶员和行人因为交通堵塞浪费的时间约为900亿小时。在一些汽车密集的城市,有三分之一的汽油是用在了找停车位的路上。
