參考范文
In recent years, traffic jam has become one of the growing concerns for the residents of most urban areas. Heavy transportation pressure in large cities may bring much inconvenience to people and even severely disturb our normal life. At the same time, it may exert negative impact on the environment. 1 How to relieve the headache? The following measures may be effective. 2
Firstly 3 , the government should adopt such policies as raising taxes on the purchase of private cars and allowing one family to buy at most one car, so as to limit the amount of private cars. Secondly 3 , construction of public transportation such as buses and subways should be accelerated so that citizens find it more convenient and faster to take public transport than driving cars. Meanwhile 3 , flexible working hours can be introduced, so that people can stagger the rush hours.
In a word, more than ever before, heavy traffic has become a source of headache for both the urban population and the city authorities. Serious as it is, traffic pressure can be alleviated sooner or later if the government can take the above effective measures and the public can pay more attention to their living environment. 4
近年來(lái)，交通擁堵已成為很多城市居民越來(lái)越擔(dān)憂的問(wèn)題之一。大城市的巨大交通壓力可能給人們帶來(lái)極大不便，甚至嚴(yán)重影響到我們的正常生活。同時(shí)，它也會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境造成負(fù)面影響。如何緩解交通壓力？如下措施或許奏效。
首先，政府應(yīng)采取一些政策限制私家車的購(gòu)買，比如增加購(gòu)買私家車的稅收，一個(gè)家庭只允許購(gòu)買一輛私家車等。其次，還應(yīng)加速諸如公共汽車和地鐵等公共交通的建設(shè)，以使市民覺(jué)得乘坐公共交通出行比駕駛私家車出行更為方便和快捷。此外，可以采取靈活工作時(shí)間，這樣人們就可以錯(cuò)開(kāi)高峰期上下班。
總之，交通壓力巨大已成為城市居民和政府越來(lái)越頭疼的問(wèn)題。盡管形勢(shì)嚴(yán)峻，如果政府能采取以上有效措施，公眾能更加關(guān)注自身的生存環(huán)境，交通壓力遲早能得到緩解。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Firstly, the government should adopt such policies as raising taxes on the purchase of private cars and allowing one family to buy at most one car, so as to limit the amount of private cars.
這句話中使用了such...as...這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“像……這樣的”或“諸如……之類的”，as后可接名詞、動(dòng)名詞或從句。
2. In a word, more than ever before, heavy traffic has become a source of headache for both the urban population and the city authorities.
in a word是表示總結(jié)的常用表達(dá)，意為“總之”；more than ever before意為“比以往任何時(shí)候更……”，用在此處表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。
