It has recently been announced that a new high school may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in your answer.
I oppose having a new high school built in my neighborhood. Although I know there's a real need for a new facility, I have to say that I don't want one built so close to me. I think it would cause a lot of problems.
我反对在我的社区里建一所新的高中。尽管我知道那里确实需要一个新的设施，但我不得不说我不想把它建得离我这么近。我认为这会引起很多问题。
First of all, there are very few teenagers in this neighborhood, or in our suburban subdivision, for that matter. Most of the residents here are either retired or are just starting out with young children. This means that the kids coming to the new high school wouldn't be walking. They would come on buses or would be driving to the school. Either way, this would mean a lot more traffic on our streets.
首先，在这个社区，或者在我们的郊区，青少年很少。这里的大多数居民不是退休了就是刚开始带小孩。这意味着来新高中的孩子不会走路。他们会坐公共汽车来，或者开车去学校。不管怎样，这都意味着我们的街道上会有更多的交通量。
In addition to the traffic on school days, there also would be traffic whenever there was a sporting event, such as a basketball or football game, or activities at the school. Would there be enough parking in the school lot for everyone attending those events? Probably not. Consequently, those extra cars would end up our neighborhood.
除了上学时的交通量外，每当有体育活动，如篮球、足球比赛或学校的活动时，也会有交通量。学校的停车场是否足够每个参加这些活动的人停车？可能不是。因此，那些多余的车最终会停在我们附近。
My neighbors and I would also be upset about the loss of the park, which is the site that's been selected for the high school. Mothers with young children gather there every morning for their kids to play together. People my age like to take a walk after dinner. On weekends, that park is a place for picnic and relaxation. We'd be sorry to lose our neighborhood park.
我和我的邻居也会为失去公园而难过，公园是被选进高中的地方。带着孩子的母亲每天早上都会聚集在那里让孩子们一起玩耍。我这个年纪的人喜欢饭后散步。在周末，那个公园是野餐和放松的地方。我们很抱歉失去了我们的社区公园。
I also have some concerns about all those young people being in our neighborhood. Would there be problems with drugs or fights? Could the school district guarantee us that security would be a priority? These are concerns that I don't think can be addressed sufficiently for me to support a new high school in my neighborhood.
我也有些担心那些年轻人在我们的社区里。吸毒或打架会有问题吗？学区能保证我们安全第一吗？这些问题我认为无法得到足够的解决，我无法在我的社区支持一所新的高中
