雅思聽力對話：聽力材料-自行車共享計劃的城市
雅思聽力在考試中占據(jù)著重要的地位，時常用聽力材料來磨耳朵可以不斷鞏固大腦的英語語言能力。以下是雅思聽力材料，您可以結(jié)合MP3和下方的原文及翻譯進(jìn)行聽力學(xué)習(xí)。
聽力原文及翻譯
A: Shall we look at some examples now? And say what we think is good or bad about them.
A：我們現(xiàn)在來看一些例子好嗎？說說我們認(rèn)為它們的優(yōu)點和缺點。
B: I suppose we should start with Amsterdam, as this was one of the first cities to have a
bike sharing scheme.
B：我想我們應(yīng)該從阿姆斯特丹開始，因為這是最早實施自行車共享計劃的城市之一。
A: Yes, there was already a strong culture of cycling here. In a way, it's strange that there was such a demand for bike sharing, because you'd have thought most people would have used their own bikes.
A：是的，這里已經(jīng)有了濃厚的自行車文化。在某種程度上，對自行車共享的需求如此之大很奇怪，因為你會認(rèn)為大多數(shù)人都會使用自己的自行車。
B: And yet it's one of the best used schemes, Dublin's an interesting example of a success story.
B：然而，這是使用最廣泛的計劃之一，都柏林是一個有趣的成功案例。
A: It must be because the public transport system's quite limited.
A：一定是因為公共交通系統(tǒng)非常有限。
B: Not really, there's no underground, but there are trams and a good bus network. I'd say price has a lot to do with it, it's one of the cheapest schemes in Europe to join.
B：不是，那里沒有地鐵，但有電車和良好的公交網(wǎng)絡(luò)。我想價格與此有很大關(guān)系，這是歐洲最便宜的計劃之一。
A: But the buses are really slow, anyway, the weather certainly can't be a factor.
A：但無論如何，公交車真的很慢，天氣肯定不是一個因素。
B: No, definitely not! The London scheme's been quite successful.
B：不，絕對不是！倫敦的計劃相當(dāng)成功。
A: Yes, it's been a really good thing for the city. The bikes are popular, and the whole system is well maintained, but it isn't expanding quickly enough.
A：是的，這對城市來說是一件好事。自行車很受歡迎，整個系統(tǒng)維護(hù)得很好，但擴張速度不夠快。
B: Basically not enough's been spent on increasing the number of cycle lanes, hopefully that will change.
B：基本上沒有投入足夠的資金來增加自行車道的數(shù)量，希望這種情況會有所改變。
A: Yes, now what about outside Europe?
A：是的，那么歐洲以外呢？
B: Well, bike sharing schemes have taken off in places like Buenos ires.
B：嗯，自行車共享計劃已經(jīng)在布宜諾斯艾利斯等地開始實施。
A: Hmm... they built a huge network of cycle lanes to support the introduction of the scheme there, didn't they? It attracted huge numbers of cyclists where previously there were hardly any.
A：嗯……他們建造了一個龐大的自行車道網(wǎng)絡(luò)來支持該計劃的實施，不是嗎？它吸引了大量騎自行車的人，而以前幾乎沒有騎自行車的人。
B: An example of good planning!
B：一個良好規(guī)劃的例子！
A: Absolutely. New York is a good example of how not to introduce a scheme, when they launched it, it was more than 10 times the price of most other schemes!
A：當(dāng)然。紐約是一個很好的例子，說明如何不引入一個計劃，當(dāng)他們推出它時，它的價格是大多數(shù)其他計劃的 10 倍以上！
B: More than it costs to take a taxi, crazy! I think the organizers lacked vision and ambition there.
B：比打車的費用還貴，瘋了！我認(rèn)為組織者缺乏遠(yuǎn)見和雄心。
A: I think so, too. Sidney would be a good example to use. I would have expected it to have grown pretty quickly here.
A：我也這么認(rèn)為。悉尼就是一個很好的例子。我原本以為它在這里會發(fā)展得相當(dāng)快。
B: Yes I can't quite work out why it hasn't been an instant success like some of the others, it's a shame, really.
B：是的，我不太明白為什么它沒有像其他城市那樣立即取得成功，這真的很遺憾。
A: I know.
A：我知道。
