5、funds 籌措資金 IV. 翻譯下列句子 1. New York City is set to become the first big city in the country to put in place a charge on vehicles entering its most congested streets, and it took a booming economy, grinding traffic and a subway crisis to seal the deal. 翻譯：紐約市將成為美國第一個對進(jìn)入其最擁擠

6、街道的車輛實施收費的大城市，而促成這一決定的因素有三個：繁榮的經(jīng)濟(jì)、令人糟心的交通和危機重重的地鐵系統(tǒng)。 2. Drivers will pay a fee to enter a zone in Manhattan’s business district with the expectation it will reduce gridlock while raising billions of dollars needed to restore the city’s struggling mass transit system. 翻譯：駕駛者要想進(jìn)入曼哈頓商業(yè)區(qū)需要支付一筆費用，旨在緩解交

9、修繕。 你的感悟： 05 紐約收取交通擁擠費以解決所面臨的問題 課程導(dǎo)讀 “交通擁堵”總是出行者心頭的永恒之痛，倫敦就在用交通擁擠附加費（London congestion charge）來解決交通污染問題。它已經(jīng)實施16年了，是英國倫敦市政府針對汽車進(jìn)入市內(nèi)的額外收費，以針對繁忙時間的交通堵塞問題，并為倫敦市的交通基建提供資金。倫敦也成為歐洲首次對汽車進(jìn)入市中心課稅的城市。 而最近，曾“榮獲”全球第二大“堵城”的紐約也決定收取“擁堵費”，也就是向進(jìn)入城市中心區(qū)的車輛收取擁堵稅。

10、該計劃一方面希望緩解紐約的交通擁堵問題，同時也是為擁有百年歷史的紐約地鐵籌集修繕資金。但很多人對其作用也提出質(zhì)疑，還有人認(rèn)為這個方案只會加劇有剛性需求的人們的經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)。雖然目前已有不少城市在“擁堵費”上取得成功，但其不確定性使得紐約這個新試點依然得接受時間的考驗。 本文節(jié)選自 The Wall Street Journal 文本難度：★★★☆☆ 話題難度：★★☆☆☆ New York’s Congestion-Pricing System Will Serve
