Part Four: Monologue
Americans love big cars. They buy huge trucks and sport utility vehicles ***SUVs*** that could go across a desert and back to take their kids to school. It really is a horrible thing for the environment, since these vehicles produce more pollution and use more gas than smaller vehicles. For Americans, however, cars are more than just a way to get somewhere. They’re symbols of wealth, and sometimes, the one place they can get away from everything. Driving in their cars by themselves, they don’t have to think about their work, family, love-life, or anything else but the open road. They put some good music on the car stereo, turn on the air conditioner, roll up the windows, and just drive.
美國人對大車情有獨鍾。他們購買卡車或是運動型車輛，這樣既能橫穿沙漠，回來又可以接送小孩讀書。但對於環境狀況來說是無法想象的，因為這些車型造成的汙染比小型車更嚴重，燃燒的汽油也更多。對於美國人來說，汽車不僅僅是外出的一種工具，更是財富的象徵，有時，也是他們可以拋開一切事務而獨處的地方。自己開著車可以不必去想工作、家庭、情感生活或其他事情，只需注意那寬闊的道路。開啟車內的音響，放點音樂，開點空調，把窗玻璃搖上，就這樣開著車。

Part Four: Monologue
The public transportation systems in most big cities in America are very good. New York, especially, has one of the largest and most useful subway and bus systems in the world. Public transportation helps to cut down on pollution and traffic. In big cities, with so many people, this is a very important problem. However, Americans do love their cars. The average family has two. So much more money goes into building roads, than new subway or train lines. In some cities, like Atlanta, this has meant a quick increase in pollution and traffic congestion as its population has grown.
在美國的大城市裡，大多數都有很齊全的公共交通系統。尤其是紐約擁有的市內地鐵和公交車系統就是全世界最大、利用率最高的地區之一。公共交通系統可以減少汙染和緩解交通負擔。對於人口眾多的大城市，這是個非常重要的問題。然而，美國人是愛車的。平均每個家庭的小汽車擁有量為兩輛。因此用於修建公路的資金往往比用於修建新的地鐵線和火車線路的資金多得多。在象亞特蘭大這樣的一些城市，隨著人口的增加，也同時意味著汙染和交通阻塞的日益嚴重。

Part Four: Monologue
The Internet has changed the way Americans do many things. Increasingly, Americans use the Internet to shop, bank, keep in touch through email and chatting, get their news, and research topics of interest. Websites such as ebay let them pursue hobbies such as coin or stamp collecting. You can even get radio and television shows on the internet. Email is still the most common use of the internet, and its uses are growing everyday. People joke that soon the only reason to leave your house will be to find a wife, since you’ll be able to do everything else over the Internet.
因特網改變了美國人做事的方式。美國人越來越多地使用因特網購物、處理銀行業務、用***和聊天的方式和別人保持聯絡，獲得新聞，以及對感興趣的題目做研究。比如ebay這樣的網站就可以使人們繼續自己收集硬幣或集郵的嗜好。通過因特網你還可以收聽和看電臺電視節目。***也仍是人們使用因特網最普遍的用途之一，而且它的使用每天還在增加。人們開玩笑說不久之後人們離家出走的唯一一個原因只可能是去尋求自己的另一半，因為除此之外其他一切都可以在網上進行。
