Introduction
Nowadays, apanoramaoftraffic-ladenroadways appears tostretch into infinity, with a high correlation to road injuries and evenfatalities. To solve thisconundrum, a simple investment in upgrading road networks and highways should be viewed as along shot, while combined efforts with access to awell-integratedpublic transportation system should be emphasized for moredesirable upshots.
解析
如今，在城市和农村地区，交通拥挤的道路全景似乎延伸到无限,与道路伤害甚至死亡高度相关。为应对这一难题，改善公路网和高速公路进行简单的投资应被视为是一种可能性很小的尝试，而应强调联合努力并利用一个综合良好的公共交通系统，以获得更理想的结果。

Body 1
Those whocling to the notionofroad-oriented policymaytake it for grantedthatniftypublic works, bemulti-layered flyoversorexpresswayslinking two counties, could enhancetraffic capacityincar-dependentmetropolitan regions with anever-expandingvehicle ownership. Besides,optimizationof non-motor vehicle lane in CBD might be beneficial in dealing with increasedcomplexityin road traffic due to the growing popularity ofe-scooters and e-bikes. Nevertheless, the afore-mentionedantidotesare plainlyfutile attemptsto catch up with soaring use of eitherpetrol-fueledorelectricity-fueledmobilities; anoblivionof either forthcomingautonomous automobilesorshrinking parking spaceis unlikely lift a city out of the congestionlimbo.
解析
那些坚持道路导向政策的人可能理所当然地认为，漂亮的公共工程，无论是多层立交桥还是连接两个县的高速公路，都可以在汽车拥有量不断增加的情况下提高依赖汽车的大都市地区的交通能力。此外，由于电动滑板车和电动自行车的日益普及，CBD中非机动车道的优化可能有利于处理日益复杂的道路交通。然而，上述解药显然是徒劳的尝试，若企图赶上飙升的汽油燃料或电力燃料汽车的广泛使用;且对无论是即将问世的自动驾驶汽车，还是不断缩小的停车空间的刻意遗忘，都不太可能让一个城市摆脱拥堵困境。

Body 2
Horrificincongruitybetween commuting needs and road public facilities,ipso facto, could beremediedby supplying additional buses, underground systems, trams and sky trains.

Clearly,facilitationof improvedmass transitinfrastructure lowers theeconomic and social costsassociated with commutingin a sustainable manner.
解析
事实上，通勤需求与道路公共设施之间可怕的不协调可以通过提供额外的公共汽车、地下系统、有轨电车和空中列车来纠正。如果时刻表的准时性和可靠性得到保证，那么公众优先选择公共交通的热情可被激发，同时可以对长途火车和火车的票价进行补贴，从而满足那些因行动不便而预算紧张的群体的通勤需求。显然，改善公共交通基础设施的便利性以可持续的方式降低了与通勤相关的经济和社会成本。
❖incongruity 不协调
❖ipso facto 事实上

Ending Paragraph
In essence,a sole reliance oneither improved road network or afully-fledgedtransportation service is asure-fire recipefor agloomyprospect that we cannot afford. Rather, bothtacticsshould be implemented with equal significance.
解析
从本质上讲，仅仅依赖改善的道路网络或完善的运输服务，必然会导致我们无法承受的黯淡前景。相反，这两种策略应该同等重要地实施。
❖a sole reliance on 仅仅依赖
❖fully-fledged 完善的
❖sure-fire recipe 万无一失的食谱
❖gloomy 黯淡的
❖tactics 策略
