Going without Cars  環保護地球•世界無車日
Going without a car for a day can be as easy as going for a walk in the park.
一天不開車就像去公園散步一樣簡單。






















  On September 3, 2015, Beijing had a huge parade. There were 12,000 troops, hundreds of fighter jets, and dozens of military formations. Millions came out to check it out. Before the parade, Beijing didn't allow half of the cars to be on the roads for two weeks. During that time, the skies that were usually full of smog became deep blue. After the parade, the cars were let back on the roads, and the smog returned.
  This is just a small example of what removing cars can do. World Car Free Day is on September 22. On this day, people are encouraged to travel by bicycle, use mass transportation, or walk to any place they need to go to. Once they do this for one day, they realize that it’s not so bad. Then, maybe some people will make every day a car-free day. Once more people do it, pollution will go down, and the world will be better.
  In Taiwan, public transportation systems are some of the safest, fastest, and best in the world. The more people use them, the more they will help the environment and everyone.











 

  2015 年九月三日在北京有一場大型閱兵典禮。有一萬兩千個軍人、上百架戰鬥機以及數十個軍隊編組參與其中。數百萬位人前來觀看典禮。北京當局從閱兵典禮前兩個禮拜起便不讓半數以上的車輛開進當地。在那段期間裡,通常充滿煙霧的天空變成了深藍色。在閱兵典禮後車輛又重新恢復通行,而煙霧也隨之再度出現。
  這只是一個讓車子消失可以產生效果的小小例子。九月二十二日是世界無車日。這一天,人們被鼓勵改騎腳踏車、使用大眾運輸工具或是以走路的方式到達自己需要前往的任何地方。一旦人們嘗試了一天不開車,他們就會了解這其實也還滿不錯的。那麼,或許有些人便會讓每天都成為無車日。一旦更多人這麼做,汙染就會減少,而世界將變得更美好。
  台灣大眾運輸系統的安全性、速度和品質在世界上是數一數二的。越多人使用大眾運輸工具,它們對環境和每個人的生活就越有幫助。

『瞧一瞧』怎麼說
本文 "Millions came out to check it out." 中的片語 check...out / check out... 表『(因為某人或物很吸引人而)瞧一瞧』。另一個意思相近的片語為 have / take a look at...,表 『瞧/看……』。例:

Check out the house. It looks very modern.
(你看那棟房子。它看起來別具現代感。)

You should really take a look at how you are spending all your money.
(你真的應該要看看你要如何使用你所有的錢。)
