英语翻译
At no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now.By the year 2030,it’s imated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities,twice as many as today.This means that the problems faced by cities today——overcrowding,poor housing,unemployment,poverty and lack of food and water——will be twice as bad,unless we find sol-utions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good tran-sportation for their citizens.Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transp-ortation structures.How can they deal with the addi-tional demands?
London is a good example.Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine,which powered the world’s first underground railway.But its transport systems are now hopelessly out—of-date and need urgent modernization.London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city.They,and the people who live in London,want a public transport system that is efficient,safe and environmentally friendly.What they often get,however,falls far short of that ideal.Commut-ers complain about cost and pollution,while businesses worry,about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time.Yet,the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over 10 percent in the early 1950s to over 60 percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted,there has been a growing realization that ac-tion must be taken soon.

在历史上还从来没有任何时候能像现在这样有如此多的人从乡村迁移到城市.到2030年,预计超过世界2/3的人口将居住在城市,这是现在的两倍.这意味着当今城市所面临的问题:拥挤 住房条件差 失业 贫困 食物和水的缺乏将会严重两倍,除非我们能够尽快找到解决的办法.
另一个严重的问题是怎样为市民提供良好的运输服务.世界上的许多主要城市已经开始致力与改进过时的交通运输结构.他们将如何处理这些传统的需求?
伦敦就是一个很好的例子.蒸汽机的发明为世界上地一条地铁提供动力,这使它的扩张成为可能.但是现在他的交通运输系统也已经过时并且需要实施城市现代化.伦敦未来的成功很大程度上取决于能否发展更好的公共运输.
每天有超过100万的人从城市外部进入伦敦市中心.他们,还有在伦敦居住的人们需要一个有效率,安全,友好的公共交通系统.然而,他们经常得到的是一个远比这个想法要差的情况.社区成员们抱怨花费和污染,而商人们担心他们的员工能否按时上班的问题.而且,伦敦拥有汽车的家庭主妇的比例已经从20世纪50年代早期的刚过10%上升到了现在的60%多.
随着城市开始变的越来越拥挤,污染越来越严重,已经有越来越多的人认识到必须要尽快的采取措施了.
