写一篇英语文章，关于城市交通堵塞，污染严重的

交通拥堵路在何方？ 城市越来越靓，路途越来越宽，交通却越来越拥堵！交通拥堵出行难已成为城市顽疾。日益增长的车辆和无限路途之间的矛盾也越来越突出，行车路常常变成停车场。出行难已成为市民最头痛的成绩。越来越多的小汽车出来家庭，给人们带来极小气便的同时也带来了城市开展的一个通病。包括路途拥堵，环境净化、过量耗费动力等。

面对理想既不能停滞汽车工业的开展也不能让路途越来越拥堵，目前为处理拥堵采取的单双号限行，限购车辆，拍卖车号的措施收效甚微，出行难仍然难！ 交通拥堵最次要的缘由之一就是未能充沛发扬公共交通的优势，无视了公共交通在城市中的作用。以香港为例，香港弹丸之地，拥有700多万市民，还有不可胜数的活动人口，却是条条路途迟滞，在路窄，坡多，弯多的路途上各种汽车疾速行驶。缘由在于香港公共交通的分担率高达90%以居世界之首，全球注目！还有瑞士、新加坡等等。

How horrible the traffic is! The picture depicts a scenario of a terrible traffic jam in the street. In fact, the traffic jam is so heavy that it is more of a parking lot than a crowded street①. Anxious passengers cannot take buses because there are few buses. Instead, the street is filled with too many private cars。

Exaggerated as it is, the phenomenon is not uncommon nowadays. With the number of private cars increasing②, traffic jams in metropolitans are bound to happen. Heavy transportation pressure in large cities may bring much inconvenience to people and exert negative impacts on the environment. On the one hand, when traffic jam happens, short distance in the past now seems to become terribly long, and drivers could do nothing but to wait. Therefore, a lot of precious time has been wasted on the road. On the other hand, exhausted gas emitted by cars③ has increased the burden of environment and caused carbon emission, which has diverted from the concept of living a low carbon life。

Therefore, effective measures should be taken to alleviate the traffic jam. Firstly, taxes levied on the sales of private cars④ should be raised so as to restrict private car ownership rate. Secondly, public transportation such as buses and subways, which are low-carbon transportation means, should be encouraged and promoted so that we can have a smooth transportation。

交通情况真是一团糟！这幅漫画描绘了街上蹩脚的交通梗塞的场景。实践上，交通梗塞严重到了一定水平，与其说这是一条拥堵的街道，还不如说这是一个停车场。着急的乘客等不到数量稀少的公交车，而私家车却四处都是。

虽然这幅图有点夸大，但是当今这种景象并不稀有。私家车的增多必定发生大城市交通梗塞。大城市繁重的交通压力会给人民生活带来方便，也会对环境形成负面影响。一方面，一旦发作堵车，原来很近的路程似乎变得非常漫长，除了等没有别的方法，少量的珍贵工夫被糜费在路上。另一方面，汽车排放的尾气更添加了环境的担负、招致了碳排放，这和低碳生活的理念相违犯。

因而，应该采取无效措施缓戒严重的交通梗塞成绩。第一，经过进步税费限制私家车拥有率(保有量)。第二，应该鼓舞和推行低碳的公交车、地铁等公共交通工具，以便我们拥有更顺畅的交通。

建造更多的高速公路和绕城路途可以增加城镇中的净化和交通梗塞，有利于改善环境。

Building more motorways and bypasses will help the environment by reducing pollution and traffic jams in towns andcities

我丝毫都不疑心我们对环境的净化是不可挽回的。

I have no doubt that we are polluting the environment beyondredemption.
