122. Changes in Modes of Transportation 交通方式的变化
As can be revealed from the above graph, we can clearly identify many significant changes in modes of transportation used by city dwellers from 1950 to 1990.
从上面图表中，我们可以清楚地看出1950年至1990年城市居民的交通方式发生了很大的变化
A very noticeable trend was the steady decrease in transportation by bicycle and on foot. In 1950, more than 50% of people traveled to work on their own, while by 1990, less than 20% of travelers preferred cycling or walking to work.
。其中一个很明显的趋势是骑自行车和步行的人数逐渐减少。在1950年，大约50%的居民自行上班。但是到了1990年，只有不到20%的居民愿意骑自行车或步行上班。
During the same period, there was a large increase in the use of automobiles. In 1950, very few people owned a car. By 1970, approximately one out of every four travelers drove to work. This increased again, until 1990, when one in three travelers drove to work.
与此同时，使用汽车出行的人大为增加。在1950年的时候，很少有人拥有汽车。然而到了1970年，大约有四分之一的人开车上班，而到了1990年，大约又增加到三分之一的人开车上班。
When considering the reasons for these changes, people's living style has to be especially concerned. With the increasing number of people going by buses or cars, fewer and fewer people would like to be cyclists or walkers.
究其原因，主要是人们的生活方式发生了很大的变化。随着越来越多的人乘坐公共汽车或小汽车上班，骑自行车和步行的人越来越少。
As people enjoyed the convenience and speed of buses and cars, they are less likely to have patience and interest in cycling and walking. In the future, with the development of science and technology, more changes in people's means of transportation will be awaiting us.
人们越来越青睐汽车的方便和快速，而不再有耐心和兴趣骑车或步行。将来，随着科技的进一步发展，人们的出行方式将会发生更大的变化。
