First of all, let me thank you all for coming to this public meeting, to discuss the future of ourtown.

首先，我要感谢各位赏光出席这次公开会议，和我们共商小镇的未来。

Our first speaker is Shona Ferguson, from Barford town council. Shona.

我们的第一位讲话人是来自Barford镇议会的Shona Ferguson，大家掌声欢迎Shona。

Thank you. First I'll briefly give you some background information,

谢谢。首先我简短地给大家介绍一些背景信息，

then I'll be asking you for your comments on developments in the town.

然后在小镇的发展方面再征求一下大家的意见。

Well, as you don't need me to tell you, Barford has changed a great deal in the last 50 years.

相信不用我说你们也都知道，这五十年来Barford已经发生了很大的变化。

These are some of the main changes.

我要跟你们讲的是一些主要的变化。

Fifty years ago, buses linked virtually every part of the town and the neighbouring towns andvillages.

50年前，公交路线几乎连接着镇上的每个部分和隔壁村镇。

Most people used them frequently but not now because the bus companies concentrate onjust the routes that attract most passengers.

那个时候大多数人经常乘坐公交，但是现在已经不再这样了，因为公交车公司现在只注重发展那些能够吸引大部分乘客的路线。

So parts of the town are no longer served by buses.

镇上有些地方已经再也没有公交车通行了。

Even replacing old uncomfortable buses with smart new ones has had little impact onpassenger numbers.

即使公交车公司将老旧的舒适感较低的公交车换成了智能的新车，乘客数量也几乎没有增加。

It's sometimes said that bus fares are too high, but in relation to average incomes, fares arenot much higher than they were 50 years ago.

有时候人们认为公交车费太高了，但是根据现如今大家的平均收入水平来看，目前的费用并没有比五十年前的高出很多。

Changes in the road network are affecting the town.

道路网的变化正在影响着小镇。

The centre was recently closed to traffic on a trial basis, making it much safer for pedestrians.

中心路线前段时间在试行封闭交通，为了让行人更加安全进行了整修。

The impact of this is being measured.

人们正在衡量这一行动的效果。

The new cycle paths, separating bikes from cars in most main roads,

人们使用新自行车道的次数比预期中要多得多，

are being used far more than was expected, reducing traffic and improve air quality.

这些车道将最主要道路上的自行车和汽车分了开来，减少了交通拥堵并改善了空气质量。

And although the council's attempts to have a bypass constructed have failed,

虽然镇议会试图建造一条支路的想法并没有成功，

we haven't given up hope of persuading the government to change its mind.

但是我们不会就此放弃的，我们仍希望能够说服政府改变想法。

Shopping in the town centre has changed over the years.

这些年来镇中心的购物情况已经发生了变化。

Many of us can remember when the town was crowded with people going shopping.

我们很多人都能记得过去镇上挤满了购物的人的场景。

Numbers have been falling for several years, despite efforts to attract shoppers, for instance byopening new car parks.

即使商家已经做出了各种努力想要吸引顾客，比如建造新的停车场，顾客的数量这几年来仍在一直减少。

Some people combine shopping with visits to the town's restaurants and cafes.

有些人把购物和去镇上的餐馆和咖啡馆结合起来。

Most shops are small independent stores, which is good,

镇上大部分商店都是小小的独立店铺，它们虽然很棒，

but many people prefer to use supermarkets and department stores in nearby large towns asthere are so few well-known chain stores here.

但是很多人却更喜欢去附近大型城镇里的超市或者百货商场购物，因为本镇有名的连锁商店太少了。

Turning now to medical facilities, the town is served by family doctors in several medicalpractices

现在我们把话题转向医疗设施，我们小镇居民好几种疾病都是找家庭医生来看的，

fewer than 50 years ago, but each catering for far more patients.

虽然现在镇上家庭医生的数量比50年前要少，但是他们每个人治疗的患者数量都比那时候要多得多。

Our hospital closed 15 years ago, which means journeys to other towns are unavoidable.

我们镇医院是15年前倒闭的，也就是说去别的镇看病在所难免。

On the other hand, there are more dentists than there used to be.

另一方面，镇上的牙医数量比过去要多。

Employment patterns have changed, along with almost everything else.

和几乎所有事情一样，就业模式也发生了变化。

The number of schools and colleges has increased making that the main employment sector.

学校和学院的数量有所增加，成为了主要的就业部门。

Services, such as website design and accountancy, have grown in importance,

像网站设计和会计服务这样的服务行业发展极其迅猛，

and surprisingly, perhaps, manufacturing hasn't seen the decline that has affected it in otherparts of the country.

而且令人意外的是，我们镇的制造业并没有像国内其他地方一样走向衰落。

Now I've heard something about Paxton Nature Reserve.

我听说你们这儿有个Paxton自然保护区。

It's a good place for spotting unusual birds, isn't it'?

那是个看罕见鸟类的好地方，对吗?

That's right — throughout the year.

没错，全年都可以。

There is a lake there as well as a river, and they provide a very attractive habitat.

那里有一个湖，还有一条河，它们构成了一个非常迷人的栖息地。

So it's a good idea to bring binoculars if you have them.

如果有的话，把双筒望远镜带过去就再好不过了。

And just at the moment you can see various flowers that are pretty unusual

现在这个时节，您可以在那儿看到各种非常与众不同的花卉，

the soil at Paxton isn't very common. They're looking good right now.

因为Paxton的土质比较罕见。现在正是这些花开得正好的时候。

Right. My husband will be particularly interested in that.

好的，我丈夫会对这个特别感兴趣的。

And there's going to be a talk and slide show about mushrooms

而且那里还会举办一个关于蘑菇的讲座和幻灯片放映，

and you'll be able to go out and pick some afterwards and study the different varieties.

之后你们可以出去自己采一些，了解一下不同种类的蘑菇。

Uhuh. And is it possible for children to swim in the river?

嗯，孩子们可以在那条河里游泳吗?

Yes. Part of it has been fenced off to make it safe for children to swim in.

可以，为了让孩子们能在其中安全地游泳，那条河的部分流域已经用篱笆隔开了。

It's very shallow, and there's a lifeguard on duty whenever it's open.

河水很浅，而且对外开放的所有时间都有救生员当值。

The lake is too deep, so swimming isn't allowed there.

湖水的水位太深了，所以禁止在那游泳。

OK, we must remember to bring their swimming things, in case we go to Paxton.

好的，说不定我们会去Paxton，所以我们一定会记得带上孩子们的游泳装备的。

How long does it take to get there by car from Burnham?

从Burnham开车去那里要多长时间?

About 20 minutes, but parking is very limited,

大概20分钟，不过那里的停车位非常有限，

so it's usually much easier to go by bus — and it takes about the same time.

所以通常坐公共汽车去会方便很多，而且路上花的时间差不多是一样的。

Right. Well, I'll discuss the options with the rest of the family. Thanks very much for all your help.

好的，我会跟家人讨论一下这些选择的。多谢你的帮助。

You're welcome.

不客气。

Goodbye.

再见。
