只要一提起艺术和文化项目,一些政府领导就会兴奋不已,他们滔滔不绝地说着美丽的公园,城市中心漂亮的雕塑,还有满是稀世珍宝的艺术展览馆。他们认为在一个城市的发展中,没有什么比这些艺术项目更重要了。

许多社会学家指出民工使得城市雪上加霜:给人口控制和社会治安带来更大压力,威胁着本已萧条的工作市场,恶化交通和公共卫生状况。

建议政府应该努力减少正在拉大的城乡差距。应该划拨适当的资金提高农民的生活水平;应该邀请农业专家向农民介绍他们的经验,知识和信息,这些将有助于发展农村经济。

总之,我们应理智考虑这一问题,重视农民的生活。任何政府忽视这一点都将付出巨大的代价。
99. Although many experts from universities and institutes consistently maintain that it is an inevitable part of an independent life, parents in growing numbers begin to realize that people, including teachers and experts in education, should pay considerable attention to this problem.

114. There are several reasons for this problem. One of the main reasons is that the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the construction of roads. Another primary reason is that there seems to be too many private cars and not enough public buses.
关于这个问题,有很多原因。一个主要原因是车辆增加的数量远快于道路的建设。另一个主要原因是私家车过多而公交车不够。
115. Meanwhile, the numbers of people, who have their own cars, have risen sharply in the recent years.
