Unit 8B

1 Personal transportation (n.运输工具) is truly a marvel (n.奇迹) of the twentieth century. Advances in many fields of technology have made automobiles (n.汽车，发动器)and channels of transportation available to almost anyone. However, the freeways (n.高速公路) in major cities, on which so many people depend for getting them to work or school every day, were not designed for the amount of traffic they now required to accommodate (v.适应,调解). Because of this there are many problems with heavy traffic and we experience difficulty in quickly responding to problems that occur.

个人交通工具确实是20世纪的一个奇迹。在许多领域的技术进步使汽车和运输渠道提供给任何人。然而,主要城市的高速公路,很多人所依赖的让他们每天工作或学校,没有设计的流量现在他们需要适应。因为这个和拥挤的交通有很多问题,我们经历困难迅速应对出现的问题。

2 Even with the technology embedded (v.嵌入) in today`s automobiles, driving can be a frustrating (adj.令人沮丧的) and potentially (adv.可能地) deadly experience. This is especially true in large metropolitan (adj.大城市的)cities, where the criss-crossing (交叉回交,十字形交叉)network of highways creates an amazingly complex system, just waiting for something to go wrong. And things will go wrong, there`s no avoiding that, the system depends on far too many elements (n.基础,原理).

即使技术嵌入在今天的汽车,开车可以是一个令人沮丧的和潜在的致命的经验。特别是在大型城市,公路纵横交错的网络创造了一个非常复杂的系统,只是等待出错。事情会出错,没有避免,系统取决于太多的元素。

3 However, there are still things that can be done to minimize(v.最小化) the risk and effects of the occurrences(n.发生,出现). Generally the solution for reducing traffic has been to widen highways. But, this merely postpones(v.使…延期,把…放在次要地位)the problem; the number of people and cars on freeways will continue to increase. A national program called Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) attempts to solve these problems through engineering and technology. ITS achieves this by combining the hardware, software, and networking necessary to gather(v.收集,聚集), process, and distribute(v.分配,散布,分开)information important to the parties involved.

然而,仍然有事情可以做事件的风险和影响降到最低。一般的解决方案减少公路交通已经扩大。但是,这仅仅是推迟的问题;以及高速公路上的汽车的人数将继续增加。国家项目叫做智能交通系统(ITS)通过工程和技术试图解决这些问题。其达到这样的目标,结合硬件、软件和网络需要收集,过程,和分发信息重要的当事人。

4 The official goals of all ITS organizations are to improve the safety and efficiency (n.效率;功效)of traveling on city freeways. These are serious issues (n.问题)and have an effect on citizens of large cities on a daily basis (每天指一起共事). When there is an accident on the road, the response time of medical services is extremely important. Seconds can make the difference between life and death; Emergency Medical Services (EMS) need to be on the scene (在场,到场) right after the accident has occurred. If the system is integrated into the transportation infrastructure (n.基础设施,公共建设) so that EMS is alerted within seconds of a traffic accident, many lives can be saved.

所有组织的官方目标是改善旅游城市高速公路的安全性和效率。这是很严重的问题,影响公民每天的大城市。当有事故在路上,医疗服务的响应时间是非常重要的。秒能让生与死的区别,紧急医疗服务(EMS)需要在现场对事故发生后。如果系统是集成到交通基础设施,EMS提醒在几秒内的交通事故,可以拯救许多人的生命。

5 The next step to make transportation safer is to reduce the risks that can cause such accidents. This includes reducing traffic congestion (n.原因), clearing accidents more quickly, and routinely checking the transportation channels for dangerous areas or obstructions (n.难题,引起麻烦的人). The problem is that it would require a massive
