The chart above reveals that the number of private cars in China increased by nearly 6 times from 1994 to 2004. In 1994, it was only about 2 million, but it jumped to about 13 million in 2004, a rise of about 11 million during the decade. In the meantime, the number of civil motor vehicles increased from about 9 million to about 27 million, a rise of about 18 million.
If these rates continue then it is inevitable that there will be too many cars on the roads. This could have an enormous impact on both society and the environment. The answer is not to build more roads as studies show that the number of cars will increase to cover the number of new roads built. The answer is twofold. First, we should develop public transport and keep its fares as cheap as possible. The second is to limit the number of cars on the roads, particularly in the cities.
Only by implementing these two measures will it be possible to limit the number of vehicles on the roads.
参考译文
上图显示，1994年至2004年，我国私人汽车保有量增加了近6倍。1994年，保有量只有大约200万辆，但2004年猛增至大约1,300万辆，十年间增加了约1,100万辆。与此同时，民用汽车保有量从约900万辆增至约2,700万辆，增加了约1,800万辆。
如果这样的增长速度持续下去，路上必然会有太多汽车，这对社会和环境都会有巨大的影响。这个问题的解决办法并不是修建更多的路，因为有研究表明，汽车的数量会随着道路的增加而增加。我们可从两个方面去入手解决。首先，我们应该发展公共交通，并使它的票价尽可能便宜。其次，要限制路上汽车的数量，特别是在城市里。
我们只有执行这两项措施才有可能限制道路上汽车的数量。
