　　你將由45秒鐘的時間來閱讀這篇文章。閱讀現(xiàn)在開始。

　　You will have 45 seconds to read the article. Begin reading now.

　　我不喜歡學校的這個計劃?真的?

　　I don't like the university's plan. Really?

　　我坐過公交車，有時候公交車上的人很少。

　　I've ridden those buses and sometimes there were only a few people on the bus.

　　這種情況似乎很浪費資源。

　　It did seem like a kind of a waste.

　　我明白你的想法，但是我覺得問題的關鍵是在于公交車線路和實際情況有點脫節(jié)了。

　　I see your point, but I think the problem is the route out of date.

　　它就只去一些好社區(qū)，而那些社區(qū)對學生來說居住成本太高了。

　　It only goes to the neighborhood that have gotten too expensive for students to live in.

　　很可笑的是，他們卻沒有改變公交車線路，所以呢，公交車實際上是在很多校外生居住區(qū)域運行。

　　It is ridiculous that they have not already changed route, you know, so it goes where most off-campus students live now.

　　我敢打賭，如果他們那樣做(改變路線)，肯定會有很多學生選擇坐公交的。

　　I bet if they did that, they'd get plenty of students riding those buses.

　　嗯，他們這樣做的話，至少是需要增加一些停車的地方，現(xiàn)在要找到停車位真的是很難。

　　Well, at least they are adding more parking, it has gotten really tough to find a space.

　　事實上，這是我不喜歡這個計劃的另外一個原因。

　　That is the other part I do not like, actually.

　　減少公交服務，增加停車位。這樣只會鼓勵更多學生開車去學校，這樣只會讓校園有更多噪音，增大校園的車流量。

　　Cutting back the bus service and adding parking just encourage more students to drive on campus and that just adds to noise around campus and create more traffic.

　　這樣的話，就需要增加更多的停車空間。

　　And that'll increase the need for more parking spaces.

　　是的，我想我明白你的意思的。如果更多學生選擇乘坐公交而非是自己開車，這樣也許會更好點。

　　Yeah, I guess I can see your point. Maybe it would be better if more students use the buses instead of driving.

　　對的。而學校需要做的是讓乘坐公交變得更容易，而非是更難。

　　Right. And the university should make it easier to do that, not harder.
