iBT新托福重点考察词汇之TRANSPORTATION【无老师词汇系列】

从梦想到现实有多远？它的距离是想象与实行。从你的心到她的心有多远？它的距离是水杯的远度（如果看不懂请参见《冷读术》这本书）。从你的孝心到父母的满意有多远？它只在一句话的距离。从颐和园到天安门有多远？这取决于你要运行的轨迹。从颐和园我们可以坐公交车，打车，步行，轮滑，每一种都是一种transportation方式。其实这里的道理很简单，想达到同一目标，方式可以是多种多样的。我们与其寻找所谓最快速的方式，不如去寻觅最适合自己的方式。你如果想体会夏日的风情，就选择轮滑，你如果想体会民风，就乘公交，你如果喜欢与人沟通，毫无疑问，北京的的哥的姐最适合您。在托福考试里面，什么是transportation？那就是 Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. 看来还是例句最有说服力。^_^
