【参考范文】 The Traffic Jam
The picture shows a serious traffic jam during the rush hour. Clearly, both lanes are jammed by automobiles, and there is no doubt that the only thing the held-up drivers can do is to wait. The traffic jam is a serious problem in big cities. Students are late for classes; workers of every walk of life are late for work; and travelers miss their trains or flights.
When talking about the inconvenience caused by traffic jams, most people would blame the increasing numbers of cars. Yet this is only one factor. Another reason is the relatively under-developed infrastructure construction, namely, the lack of wide roads, streets and highways. Furthermore, people"s weak sense of traffic regulations may result in more road accidents that in turn add to the seriousness of traffic jams.
To solve the problem, stiffer punishment for breaking traffic rules is necessary. Besides, a long-term planning of road construction must be taken into consideration. Still another solution will be the advocacy of public transports and car-pool, an effective means to increase the transport capacity during rush hours.
【参考译文】 交通拥堵
图片描述的是交通高峰时段严重的交通拥堵，双侧车道都被汽车占满，毫无疑问，被困住的司机们所能做的唯一一件事情就是等待。交通拥堵是大城市所面临的一个严重问题。学生上课迟到，各行各业的职工上班迟到，旅客误了火车或者飞机。
当谈到交通拥堵带来的不便时，大部分人都会责怪越来越多的私家车数量。但这只是一方面因素。另一个原因是基础设施建设相对落后，也就是道路不够宽阔。此外，人们交通规则意识的淡薄可能会导致路上的事故增多，这反过来又会加剧交通拥堵的严重程度。
为解决这一问题，必须对违反交通规则的行为进行更为严厉的处罚。此外，必须考虑道路建设的长期规划。另一个解决方法就是倡导公共交通和拼车出行，这可以有效增加高峰期间的运载能力。
