剑雅15阅读T1P2仿写

这篇的论点本身就可以作为无人驾驶汽车的优缺点，非常有借鉴意义。无人驾驶汽车相关的题目出现过的有：

20110904真题：It would be better to have a wide use of driverless cars for individuals and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

剑16T4：In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

 

1.      A new challenge to vehicle production is now on the horizon and, again, it comes from automation.

But since Google announced in 2010 that it had been trialing self-driving cars on the streets of California, progress in this field has quickly gathered pace.

这些表达不仅可以用于无人驾驶汽车，任何一项高科技产品相关的话题都行

The progress in the invention and development of self-driving cars has quickly gathered pace, and it can be assumed the mass production of these vehicles is on the horizon.

 

2.     Beyond these direct benefits, we can consider the wider implications for transport and society, and how manufacturing processes might need to respond as a result.

用在优缺点的题型里，明显的优点+隐含的优点

 

3.     There are many reasons why technology is advancing so fast. One frequently cited motive is safety; indeed, research at the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory has demonstrated that more than 90 percent of road collisions involve human error as a contributory factor, and it is the primary cause in the vast majority. Automation may help to reduce the incidence of this.

可以用在问reasons的题型里

There are many reasons why +话题. One frequently cited motive is+第一个原因….第二个原因is also a contributory factor/is also a primary cause.

另外，里面90%的车祸和人为失误相关，可以作为无人驾驶汽车的优点之一：安全，和人类驾驶相反的例子

 

4.     Another aim is to free the time people spend driving for other purposes. If the vehicle can do some or all of the driving, it may be possible to be productive, to socialise or simply to relax while automation systems have responsibility for safe control of the vehicle. If the vehicle can do the driving, those who are challenged by existing mobility models–such as older or disabled travellers–may be able to enjoy significantly greater travel autonomy.

无人驾驶的优点之二：人不需要开车了，可以做些别的。这段当然不能照抄，但是可以把它翻译成中文，然后再用自己的话把它用英语再写一遍。

 

5.     Automation means that initiatives for car-sharing become much more viable, particularly in urban areas with significant travel demand.

As a consequence, each vehicle would be used more intensively, and might need replacing sooner. This faster rate of turnover may mean that vehicle production will not necessarily decrease.

无人驾驶汽车第三个优点：便于汽车共享机制的形成，除此之外，相关表达还可以用于交通相关的题目，比如如何解决交通堵塞问题/如何提高自行车的使用率

The government should implement or promote viable initiatives for car-sharing/bike-sharing, particularly in urban areas with significant travel demand. However, it should be noted such initiatives bring both opportunities and challenges at the same time. Beside their apparent benefit to transportation and environment issues, the government or related organizations need to set up a servicing scheme to maintain these vehicles/bikes since they would be used more intensively and might need replacing sooner than imagined.

 

6.     the regulatory challenges in understanding how liability and enforcement might change when drivers are no longer essential for vehicle operation

无人驾驶汽车的缺点之一：责任划分，尤其是发生事故时

 

7.     There are a number of hurdles to overcome in delivering automated vehicles to our roads.

It’s clear that there are many challenges that need to be addressed but, through robust and targeted research, these can most probably be conquered within the next 10 years.

跨越障碍/挑战的表达方式：overcome/address/conquer hurdles/challenges

可以用于很多话题：科技，出国留学，新能源的开发和利用。。。

新能源：

The constant supply of renewable energy is still faced with many hurdles, which can be overcome through robust and targeted research.

8.     Automation may prompt other changes in vehicle manufacture. If we move to a model where consumers are tending not to own a single vehicle but to purchase access to a range of vehicles through a mobility provider, drivers will have the freedom to select one that best suits their needs for a particular journey, rather than making a compromise across all their requirements.
