全球交通拥堵排行榜出炉泰国曼谷居首

Plentyofdriverscomplainaboutrushhourtraffic,butsomehavemore

togripeaboutthanothers.

许多司机都抱怨上下班高峰期的交通拥堵，但是相比之下有些地方的司机怨声会更大。

Bangkokhastheworsteveningrushhourtrafficintheworldforas

econdconsecutiveyear,accordingtoGPSmanufacturerTomTom.

根据GPS生产商TomTom的调查结果，曼谷连续第二年成为全球晚高峰堵车最严重的城市。

TheresultswerecompiledafterTomTomtrackedayears"

该结果是TomTom根据对48个国家390个城市交通状况的多年追踪数据汇总而成的。

TomTom的高级交通专家尼克?科恩说，泰国和很多其他在拥堵榜上排名靠前的大城市已成

为自身成功的牺牲品。增长的经济和扩张的人口意味着更多的车辆和通勤者。

Itwouldbeachallengeforanycitygovernmentkeepthingsmoving

,”hesaid,notingthatasmorepeoplehavemovedtoBangkok，slow-

他说：”任何城市的政府想让交通顺畅都不容易。”他指出，随着越来越多的人搬到曼谷

人口密度较低的郊区居住，通勤带来的交通拥堵变得更严重了。

尽管墨西哥城在晚高峰拥堵榜上排名第二，TomTom认为墨西哥城是全球全天交通拥堵最严

重的城市。

Itcouldbemiddleofthedayorlateatnight,butit'sjustrea

科恩说："拥堵可能发生在中午或深夜，不论发生在何时，堵起来都很严重。

他说：“墨西哥城有分布广泛的地铁系统，但是很多人口增长最迅速的地区并没有覆盖

至上人们上班也没有太多其他交通工具可选择。”

晚高峰拥堵榜第五名的莫斯科在过去几年排名更靠前。自从该市的政府官员引进停车新规

后，交通拥堵有所缓解。

Cohnsaidthecitynowchargesforsomeparking,which

reallychangedpeople*sbehavior.”

科恩说，该市现在开始针对部分停车行为收费，这”确实改变了人们的行为”。

伊斯坦布尔的交通拥堵也有一些改善，因为当局设法为司机提供了更多实时交通数据。这

有助于人们制定出行计划，避开严重的交通阻塞。

"It'sstillterriblebutthereisaslightdecrease,"hesaid.

科恩说，”伊斯坦布尔的堵车仍然很严重，但是比原来稍微好一点了。”

唯一登上拥堵榜前15名的美国城市是洛杉矶。洛杉矶的交通拥堵比以前恶化了，但是它的

排名在过去几年却下降了，这是因为世界上的其他城市遭遇了更棘手的交通难题。

⑴使某事被做（主语有意识的行为，可能是主语自己做，也可能让别人做）

⑵遭遇（此事违背主语的意愿）

//〃易混辨析////

意为"让/叫/使/请别人做某事"或表示宾语的遭遇、经历。宾语

havesthdonesth后面用过去分词作宾语补足语，说明sth与过去分词所表示的动

作之间为被动关系

意为"让/叫/使某人做某事"o同义短语还有make/letsbdosth,

havesbdosth

getsbtodosth

havesb/sthdoing意为"叫/让/使某人做某事或让某种情况发生"，表示宾语与现在

分词所表示的动作之间为主动关系，且动作正在进行或在延续

意为"有……事要做"，have不是使役动词，而是"有"的意思，

havesthtodo

不定式todo充当sth的定语

【语境巧记】

Yesterday,Jackhadhishaircut.However,whenhereturnedhome,hefound

hehadhadhisdocumentstolen.Hewassoworriedbecausehisbosswouldhave

himworkonweekendsifhelostit.

昨天，杰克（请人给他）理发了。但是，当他回到家时，他发现他的文件被偷了。他非常着

急，因为如果他丢失了这份文件，他的老板会让他周末工作的。

2.What'smore,centralLondonshopsdidnotlosebusinesseventhoughthere

werefewercars.而且，即使经过的汽车减少了，伦敦市中心店铺的生意也没有减少。

eventhough意为"尽管,即使",用来引导让步状语从句，eventhough可用evenif替

换。
