語篇導(dǎo)讀

現(xiàn)在馬路上的低頭族屢見不鮮，走路的人要看手機上的信息，開車的人要看手機上的導(dǎo)航，騎車的送餐員要用手機搶單，因此引發(fā)交通事故無數(shù)。近日，荷蘭因相關(guān)交通事故呈上升趨勢而立法：騎車時禁止看手機。

There are more bicycles than people in Holland. In the country， many people use mobile phones while riding bicycles， which raises growing fears about safety. As a result， using a mobile phone while cycling is to be banned according to a new law.

The law shall come into use in July， 2019 and it will stop the use of mobile phones while people are driving any vehicles （including bicycles）.

Although people often ride bicycles at lower speeds， in fact， using a mobile phone is just as dangerous on a bicycle as it is in a car. The fact is that you should be paying full attention and not doing anything at all on a mobile phone whenever youre on the road.

The increasing popularity of electric bicycles meant cyclists average speed had risen， while the countrys 22，000 miles of cycle lanes and paths had become more crowded.

It was said one in five bicycle accidents involving people aged 12 to 25 last year involved a mobile phone， according to one study.

A survey shows that 75% of the Dutch believe the active use of a mobile phone—calling， texting， playing games， downloading music and so on—on bicycles should be considered illegal， with most people saying they had witnessed dangerous situations because they use mobile phones while riding bicycles.

典句賞析

1.In the country，many people use mobile phones while riding bicycles， which raises growing fears about safety. 而這個國家現(xiàn)在許多人騎車時會玩手機，這使人們對安全隱患的擔(dān)憂漸增。

該句為復(fù)合句。which raises growing fears about safety是非限制性定語從句，關(guān)系代詞which代替前面的句子In the country，many people use mobile phones while riding bicycles;raise在這里作及物動詞，意為“引起;導(dǎo)致”，后接名詞、代詞或者動名詞作賓語，偶爾在賓語后接“to be + n. / adj.”結(jié)構(gòu)，構(gòu)成動詞的復(fù)合賓語。例如：

You raise your voice to be loud！把你的聲音提高點！

【即時嘗試】湯姆在比賽中失敗了，這真令人遺憾。

2.As a result， using a mobile phone while cycling is to be banned according to a new law. 因此荷蘭發(fā)布禁令，禁止騎車時用手機。

using a mobile phone while cycling是動名詞短語，在句中作主語，動名詞短語作主語時，謂語動詞要用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。to be banned是動詞不定式的被動形式，意為“被禁止”，在此作表語。

【即時嘗試】在街道上踢足球很危險。

3.The fact is that you should be paying full attention and not doing anything at all on a mobile phone whenever youre on the road. 無論何時，只要你在馬路上，都應(yīng)該集中注意力，而不要用手機做任何事。

這是一個復(fù)合句。whenever是從屬連詞，意為“每當(dāng);無論何時”，引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，比when語氣更強烈。pay full attention是常見的固定詞組，意為“集中注意力;全力關(guān)注”。

【即時嘗試】每次我們見到他，都會和他講話。

4.The increasing popularity of electric bicycles meant cyclists average speed had risen， while the countrys 22，000 miles of cycle lanes and paths had become more crowded. 電動自行車的日益普及意味著人們騎車的平均速度提上去了。然而，荷蘭長達(dá)2.2萬英里的自行車道和人行道卻變得愈發(fā)擁擠了。

while在這里用作并列連詞，用來表示對比或者轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“然而;而”，此時while一般用于句子中間。become more crowded是系表結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“變得更加擁擠”，more crowded是形容詞crowded的比較級形式。

【即時嘗試】簡喜歡數(shù)學(xué)，而我喜歡英語。

譯文助讀

荷蘭的自行車比人還多，而這個國家現(xiàn)在許多人騎車時會玩手機，這使人們對安全隱患的擔(dān)憂漸增。因此荷蘭發(fā)布禁令，禁止騎車時用手機。

這項法律將于2019年7月生效，它將禁止人們在駕駛?cè)魏诬囕v（包括自行車）時用手機。

盡管人們騎車的速度相對較慢，但事實上，騎車用手機和開車用手機一樣危險。無論何時，只要你在馬路上，都應(yīng)該集中注意力，而不要用手機做任何事。

電動自行車的日益普及意味著人們騎車的平均速度提上去了。然而，荷蘭長達(dá)2.2萬英里的自行車道和人行道卻變得愈發(fā)擁擠了。

根據(jù)調(diào)查，去年在12歲到25歲的人發(fā)生的自行車事故中有五分之一跟騎車時使用手機有關(guān)。

一項調(diào)查顯示，75%的荷蘭人認(rèn)為在騎車時積極使用手機——打電話、發(fā)短信、玩游戲、下載音樂等——都應(yīng)被視為違法。而多數(shù)受訪者聲稱自己曾親眼看見因為騎車時使用手機而發(fā)生危險的情況。
