道路就是城市的动脉,一个城市要“活”起来,道路交通占据着至关重要和无可替代的地位。这两年北京先后改造了二三环路,修建了四环路,启动了五环路、六环路的建设,打通了平安大街、菜市口南大街等等,惟一的目的就是让北京的路快起来,让北京的交通畅起来,让北京城活起来。如今北京正在申办2008年奥运会主办权,北京城能否“活”起来也成为北京申办成功的重要筹码。 Road is the city’s artery, a city to be “alive”, road traffic occupy a crucial and irreplaceable position. In the past two years, Beijing has successively renovated the Second and Third Ring Roads, built the Fourth Ring Road, started the construction of the Fifth Ring Road and the Sixth Ring Road, opened up the streets of Ping An Avenue and Caishikou South Street, etc. with the sole purpose of making Beijing’s road Get up and let traffic in Beijing come and let Beijing live up. Now that Beijing is bidding for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, whether or not Beijing can “survive” has become an important bargaining chip for Beijing’s bid success.
