全球最堵车的城市排行榜编辑本段回目录
根据最新的研究结果，上下班交通不仅可以让我们的日常生活精疲力尽，更有可能阻碍社会的经济发展。
Ranking the cities with the absolute worst commutes in the world is certainly not an enviable task. The first version of IBM's Global Commuter Pain Survey suggests that some of the most economically important cities in the world are still being greatly affected by their levels of traffic. Transportation infrastructure, it seems, is flat-out failing to keep pace with economic activity. From their release:
对城市最差通勤状况排名绝非易事。 IBM推出的第一份全球上下班困扰情况调查表明，即使很多经济实力强大的城市也深陷交通泥潭。交通基础设施严重落后于经济发展的速度。
IBM surveyed 8,192 motorists in 20 cities on six continents, the majority of whom say that traffic has gotten worse in the past three years. The congestion in many of today's developing cities is a relatively recent phenomenon, having paralleled the rapid economic growth of those cities during the past decade or two. By contrast, the traffic in places like New York, Los Angeles or London developed gradually over many decades, giving officials more time and resources to address the problem.
IBM调查了六大洲20个城市中的8192位通勤者，他们其中的大多数人认为交通状况在过去的三年里有所恶化。在当今高速增长的发展中国家城市，由于基础设施发展滞后，交通拥堵成为一个屡见不鲜的现象。 与之相反，在那些特大型城市如纽约、洛杉矶和伦敦， 尽管现有交通设施已经发展了数十年，处于领先地位， 城市政府仍然投入大量人力物力来改善现状。
Disturbingly, nearly half the drivers in the 20 cities IBM surveyed said traffic had gotten worse in the last three years -- and 18 percent said it had gotten significantly worse. Which cities topped the list with the most unendurable commutes in the world?
令人不安的是， 在IBM调查的20个城市中，有半数司机认为三年内交通状况变糟了 - 百分之十八的人认为这种恶化十分显著。那么，哪些城市是世界上最难以忍受上下班交通的地方呢？
