有關(guān)共享單車(chē)的英語(yǔ)作文

　　共享單車(chē)這一出行方式正風(fēng)靡全國(guó)大江南北。雖然這一出行方式環(huán)保又方便，但也引發(fā)了一系列問(wèn)題。

　　About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled mode (方式) of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.

　　大約30年前，中國(guó)被稱(chēng)為“自行車(chē)王國(guó)”。但隨著自行車(chē)被燃油驅(qū)動(dòng)的汽車(chē)所取代，這種雙輪交通方式的熱度也開(kāi)始衰退。

　　But recent months have seen a revival (復(fù)興) of the humble (普通的) bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-ups (新興公司) like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.

　　但近幾個(gè)月，中國(guó)大地上見(jiàn)證了一場(chǎng)普通自行車(chē)的復(fù)興，越來(lái)越多的人選擇騎車(chē)上班上學(xué)、游覽觀(guān)光，而非駕車(chē)出行。而由Ofo、摩拜單車(chē)等新興公司發(fā)起的共享單車(chē)計(jì)劃，則將這一趨勢(shì)帶向了一個(gè)新高度。

　　According to data compiled (編制) by iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.

　　根據(jù)艾瑞咨詢(xún)集團(tuán)整理的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在本年度的第一周中，摩拜單車(chē)共有585萬(wàn)活躍用戶(hù)，而Ofo則有140萬(wàn)。

　　People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.

　　僅憑自己的智能手機(jī)，人們就能解鎖這種共享單車(chē)。這些單車(chē)都裝有全球定位系統(tǒng)，可以被放在公共場(chǎng)合的任何地方，等待下一位用戶(hù)使用。它們受到了許多中國(guó)人的歡迎，因?yàn)樗鼈冇行У亟鉀Q了“最后一公里”難題，即個(gè)人行程中的最后一段。

　　“In places where the subway doesn’t extend (延伸到), where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it’s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, told AFP. She pedals (騎自行車(chē)) to her Shanghai real-estate (房地產(chǎn)) job.

　　“在地鐵線(xiàn)路覆蓋不到的地方，很難換乘其他交通，用摩拜單車(chē)去你想去的地方就簡(jiǎn)單多了，”29歲的胡紅(音譯)在接受法新社采訪(fǎng)時(shí)表示。在上海從事房地產(chǎn)行業(yè)的她都是騎自行車(chē)去上班的。

　　However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破壞) and theft.

　　然而，這一計(jì)劃也出現(xiàn)了一些問(wèn)題，如非法停車(chē)，故意破壞和偷竊等。

　　Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.

　　上個(gè)月，北京的兩名護(hù)士因在共享單車(chē)上上鎖(占為己有)，被行政拘留5天。

　　And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to a 3-month detention with a 3-month probation (緩刑期), and fined 1,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People’s Court.

　　而在去年12月，一名男子因偷竊一輛共享單車(chē)，被上海閔行人民法院判處拘役3個(gè)月，緩刑3個(gè)月，并處罰金人民幣一千元。

　　“Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,” said Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. “But it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.”

　　“共享單車(chē)是種更加綠色的出行方式，并且為用戶(hù)提供了一種友好的體驗(yàn)，”交通部副部長(zhǎng)劉小明表示。“但是這是一種線(xiàn)上和線(xiàn)下商業(yè)的結(jié)合。經(jīng)營(yíng)者的線(xiàn)上業(yè)務(wù)能力很強(qiáng)，但缺乏線(xiàn)下業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，導(dǎo)致了問(wèn)題產(chǎn)生。”

　　In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing schemes abroad. Launched in 20xx, Vélib is a large-scale public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early stage of operation, it also suffered from problems of vandalism or theft.

　　事實(shí)上，這些問(wèn)題在國(guó)外的共享單車(chē)體系中也同樣存在。創(chuàng)建于20xx年的Vélib是一個(gè)位于巴黎的大型公共單車(chē)共享系統(tǒng)。在其初期的運(yùn)營(yíng)中，它也曾遭遇故意損毀及偷竊等問(wèn)題。

　　By Oct 20xx, a large number of Vélib’s initial bikes had to be replaced due to vandalism or theft, according to The New York Times. Bikes were found hanging from lampposts (街燈柱) or thrown into the Seine River.

　　據(jù)《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道，截至20xx年10月，由于故意損毀和偷竊問(wèn)題，大量初期的Vélib自行車(chē)不得不被置換。這些自行車(chē)曾被發(fā)現(xiàn)掛在街燈柱上，或是被扔進(jìn)塞納河中。

　　To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.

　　為了處理這些問(wèn)題，該公司想到一個(gè)辦法：鼓勵(lì)人們將自行車(chē)歸還至站點(diǎn)，并在他們下次使用時(shí)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)免費(fèi)用車(chē)時(shí)間。

　　Now, Chinese service operators are also trying to address these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan.

　　現(xiàn)在，中國(guó)的服務(wù)經(jīng)營(yíng)者們也開(kāi)始嘗試去解決這些問(wèn)題。舉個(gè)例子，摩拜單車(chē)為每個(gè)用戶(hù)設(shè)定了100分的信用值，行為不當(dāng)將會(huì)被扣分。當(dāng)信用值降到80分以下，自行車(chē)租賃費(fèi)用將會(huì)從每30分鐘0.5-1元上漲到100元。
