本次翻譯難度較低，處理方式在上課時均有講解：

本篇涉及到的詞匯難度不高，“地鐵”選用subway, underground, metro可以憑借個人喜好，交通擁堵比較正式的說法是traffic congestion, 不過使用traffic jam也是可行的。

選詞方面，原文出現(xiàn)了兩次“越來越多”這個短語，除了最為常見的“more and more”這個表達外，“a growing number of”也可作為一個選擇，增加用詞的多樣性。

有一個句子需要特別注意，“在有些城市里，乘客只需用卡或手機就可以乘坐地鐵”很多考生看到“只（需）”很快就會聯(lián)想到only，然而這里表達為“passengers can only use cards or cellphone…”是錯誤的，乘客并非“只能”使用“卡或手機”才能乘坐地鐵。恰當?shù)倪x詞是“just”，此外，短語“as long as”也不失為一個可行選擇。

總之，只要課上所講到的技巧大家都熟練掌握了，翻譯部分得到12分左右應該是完全沒有問題的。
