This is Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, a fast growing city and a potent symbol of India’s recent economic success. 这里是孟买，印度的商业中心，该城市发展迅速，是印度近来经济成功的有力象征。

But it has a problem or to be more precise it has 1. 8 million problems. 但是这里存在一个问题，准确来说，是180万辆车的问题。

That’s how many motor vehicles there are here, a maelstrom of cars, lorries, auto rickshaws and motorbikes, 这么多的机动车，汽车、货车、三轮车和摩托车全都挤在了道路上，

all crammed into roads which simply can’t cope with this much traffic. 道路无法承受如此多的车辆。

That’s Theo Leggett in Mumbai – a city which he describes as a potent symbol – a powerful symbol – of India’s economic success. 这就是西奥·雷格特所在的城市孟买——他把这座城市称为印度经济成功的有力象征。

But that success has come at a price – in other words, there is a negative side to the story. 但印度为此成功付出了代价——换句话说，成功所带来的负面影响。

Yes – the traffic, which he describes as a maelstrom – so a confusing, chaotic mix of vehicles which are crammed – bumper to bumper, 是的，他说那里的交通就像一个漩涡——车辆混乱无序，一辆挨着一辆，

so squeezed closely together in the city’s streets. 紧紧的挤在城市的道路上。

So when the commuters start their journeys – or get behind the wheel – in the morning rush-hour – the busiest time of day – 那么，在早高峰时段，上班族开始上班旅程时，

they could spend hours just trying to make a relatively short journey to work. 他们要花上数小时才能移动相对较短的路程。

Well I think it would be quicker to walk! 我觉得还是走路更快一些！

That’s certainly a good option in London, where research has found that traffic is slower now than it was 100 years ago. 这在伦敦的确是一个不错的选择，研究发现现在的交通比100 年前要慢了。

So is this the end of the road for cars? 也就是说这是汽车的尽头了吗？
