2016年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：公園免費(fèi)開(kāi)放

　　長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)，人們一直對(duì)市區(qū)公園是否應(yīng)該收門(mén)票的話(huà)題爭(zhēng)論不休。一些人認(rèn)為市區(qū)公園是用納稅人的錢(qián)建立起來(lái)的，是供人們休閑、娛樂(lè)的公共場(chǎng)所，因此應(yīng)該是免費(fèi)的。另一方面，還有一些人稱(chēng)，考慮到中國(guó)人口眾多，公民責(zé)任意識(shí)淡薄的情況，一旦免費(fèi)開(kāi)放市區(qū)公園，這些公園會(huì)管理不善，將不可避免地受到損壞。綜合考慮兩種觀點(diǎn)，我較認(rèn)同后者。可以確定的是市區(qū)公園免費(fèi)開(kāi)放要與經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展情況相適應(yīng)，因?yàn)檫@需要財(cái)政的支持。因此，以中國(guó)現(xiàn)有的經(jīng)濟(jì)水平，免費(fèi)開(kāi)放市區(qū)公園的目標(biāo)要逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)。

　　The question whether urban parks should charge an entrance fee or not has been a source of controversy for a long time. On the one hand, some people claim that urban parks, supposed to be places where people have leisure and entertainment, are public establishments that have been created with taxpayers’ money and thus should be free. On the other hand, some others maintain that, considering China’s large population and lack of a sense of civic duty, once the parks are free of charge, they will not be properly managed and will inevitably be damaged. When considering opinions of both sides, I am inclined to the latter view. It’s certain that free entry to urban parks should proceed with economic development, as it needs financial support. Hence, the current economic level in China reflects that free entry to parks can only be realized step by step.
