Cycling in China(在中國騎自行車)

        Cycling in China
        Not more than a decade ago, the majority of young people and adults in China reached for their bicycles whenever they wanted to make a short journey. Today,especially in the towns, the number is falling fast.  In Beijing, it is estimated that 60 % of all journeys used to be on a bicycle and crowds of cyclists thronged the main roads. Today, although the proportion of people who cycle is still quite large especially in comparison with other countries, the figure has begun to fall.
     There are of course a number of different reasons for this.The bus services have improved and the subway system is expanding, making it easier for people to find other means of transport. A few people have been lucky enough to be able to buy cars and there are also many more taxis on the roads. Another reason for the decline in bicycle use is a result of China's economic growth. Nowadays, many people are earning higher salaries than in the past and they are willing to spend a little of this money on getting to and from their place of work.

在中國騎自行車
    不到十年前，如果外出的地方不遠(yuǎn)，中國大多數(shù)青少年和成年人都會(huì)騎自己的自行車。如今，特別在城里，騎車人數(shù)急劇下降。據(jù)估計(jì)，以往在北京出門的人60％都用自行車，大批騎車人在主干道上擁擠不堪。  雖然，目前與別國相比，騎車人數(shù)所占比例依然可觀，但這個(gè)數(shù)字開始下降。
    當(dāng)然出現(xiàn)上述情況的原因很多。公交服務(wù)已有改善，地鐵線路正在延伸，使人們更容易找到另一種交通方式。有些人很走運(yùn)，買得起轎車；馬路上還有更多的出租車。  自
行車使用減少的另一原因是中國經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的結(jié)果。眼下許多人的薪金比以往高；他們愿意花費(fèi)一點(diǎn)錢用在上下班路上。
