公共汽車和地鐵(The Bus and the Subway Train)
City traffic is a big problem in some cities in the world, especially in big cities. To solve the problem, someone are in favor of developing buses as means of city traffic. Others are in favor of the subway. Between them,which is the better choice?

在世界上的一些城市中城市交通是一個大問題，尤其是大城市。爲了解決這個問題，有人贊成發展公交車作爲城市交通的方式。另一些人則贊成地鐵。在它們之間，哪個是更好的選擇?

It is easier to take buses as means of city traffic than the subway trains because buses don't need special roads. But buses have also many disadvantages, some of which are very serious. They may cause louder noise and more traffic accidents. Buses give rise to serious air pollution and traffic jam. In order to stop what buses cause, a large amount of hand must be used to widen the roads. On the contrary, the subway train is of more advantages. Except the difficulty and high cost of building the subway, it is superior to the buses in many aspects.

公共汽車作爲城市交通方式要比地鐵容易，因爲公共汽車不需要特別的道路。但是公交車也許多缺點，有些是非常嚴重的。他們可能會導致噪音和更多的交通事故。公共汽車也導致了嚴重的空氣污染和交通堵塞。爲了阻止公交車帶來的後果，必須用大量的人力來拓寬道路。相反，地鐵列車有着更多的優勢。除了建設地鐵的難度和高成本外，在許多方面它都優於公共汽車。

Taking the advantages and disadvantages together into consideration，I would be in favor of developing the subway train as soon as possible.

把優點和缺點一起考慮，我會贊成儘快發展地鐵。
