Most of China’s growth is concentrated in its large urban centers, which will house fifty percent of the country’s population by 2020 and 75% by 2050. For these increasingly huge megacities, the central government has no choice but to develop adequate measures to transport the population. Following the American model of car dependence is simply not possible because of high densities and inadequate space. With its high-speed rail network, now the longest in the world, the Chinese are providing efficient intercity links into downtowns.
中国的增长大多集中于其大型中心城市，2020年该国城市人口比例将达50%，2050年更将达75%。对于这些越来越大的大城市而言，中央政府除了出台适当的措施来运送人口以外别无选择。由于人口的高密度和空间的不足，照搬美国依赖汽车的模式显然是不可能的。除了建设高速铁路网络（现时里程已是世界最长）以外，中国还提供了连接城市中心区的高效城际线路。

But it’s in urban rail networks that the country has made the biggest strides towards increasing mobility within cities. Shanghai’s huge Metro, the longest on earth, is just one among eleven currently operating in China. Dozens of other cities have rapid transit systems either under construction or in planning.
在加强城市内机动性的目标上，该国取得最大进度的地方在城市铁路网络这块。上海庞大的地铁网络（里程世界最长）只是中国现时运营的十一个城市地铁网之一。另外数十个城市已规划或已在建设高速交通体系。

Now the central government has made a commitment to spend up to one trillion one hundred billion U.S. dollars by 2015 on such grade-separated urban public transportation corridors. This is part of a one trillion-dollar investment in urban infrastructure nationwide; China will also spend $450 billion on railway construction over the same period. By the end of this year, China will offer a total of 870 miles of metro systems, up from around 600 today, on the way to 1,900 miles in five years. Far more is planned by 2020, especially in the east coast powerhouses of Beijing, Shanghai, and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong megaplex.
现时中央政府已承诺在2015年之前投入高达11000亿美元（约合74539亿人民币）用于建设城市公共交通线路。这是全国1万亿美元城市基建投资的一部分，中国在同期还将投入4500亿美元（约合30493亿人民币）进行铁路建设。到今年底，中国将建成总里程870英里（约合1400公里）的地铁网络，现时大概是600英里（约合965.6公里），而五年后将达到1900英里（约合3057.8公里）。2020年的规划里程更长，尤其是在东海岸的北京、上海，以及广州-深圳-香港这个大型网络。

Urban infrastructure investment has consumed an average of 2.6% of China’s GDP since 1994. With a national growth rate predicted to hold at between seven and ten percent a year, the country will be able to guarantee its huge level of investment.
自1994年以来基础建设投资平均占到中国GDP的2.6%。该国每年增长速度保持在7到10个百分点，足以保证其庞大的投资规模。

Total infrastructure investment across all levels of government accounts for roughly 1% of American GDP. The U.S. commits about $100 billion a year to all forms of transportation spending.
美国各级政府的基建总投资大约占到GDP的1%。美国每年大约投入1000亿美元（约折合6776亿人民币）用于各种交通建设开支。

Whether China’s spending will be enough to prevent the rapid rise in car use there is unknown. Chinese’s per capita automobile ownership has increased from 24 cars per 1,000 people to 40 per 1,000, though that’s far less than the 765 cars per 1,000 people in the United States. The country’s decision to implement tolls on virtually all new highways and the use of vehicle restrictions in the central zones of cities like Shanghai and Beijing will spur more use of public transit.
中国的投入是否足以避免汽车使用的快速增加尚不得而知。中国人均拥有汽车的数量已从每千人24辆上升到了每千人40辆，尽管还远远少于美国每千人765辆的数量。中国决意对几乎所有新的高速公路进行收费，并对上海和北京等城市的中心区汽车使用施以限制，这将促使更多人使用公共交通。

China better be preparing for the future, though, when it will need to spend more rebuilding its infrastructure than constructing it anew. One hopes the Chinese have developed more stable long-term operations and maintenance funds than have those of us in North America.
中国最好为未来做好准备，到时该国将需要投入更多资金在重建而不是新建基础设施上。希望中国能比我们北美这边制定出更为稳定的长期运营和维护资金的方案。

批一啊pia

等高铁修好了，我回家就快多了，除了票价太贵以外。。。

今天新干线好像撞车了~~安全最重要

非驴非马

希望中国能比我们北美这边制定出更为稳定的长期运营和维护资金的方案。
很难得的一句话。

高架桥的维护费不知道怎么样，还是多修些普通铁路吧。
