London's New 'Green' Red Buses 伦敦新巴士惊艳亮相

What is red but green, open but closed and old but new? Answer: London's stunning new double-decker buses. * `5 ], C8 r) K( V( W+ }& }

% D9 u' v/ D# k  v+ A, ]The traditional red double-deckers are a symbol of London. Their iconic status was sealed in 2008 when one bus made the longer-than-usual trip to Beijing to collect a very special passenger: the Olympic Flame. 3 P$ b: G0 r3 m' s

The new bus uses more efficient green technology and has two staircases and an open platform, enabling people to hop on and hop off. It also has a unique asymmetric design for the front end, which gives it a futuristic look. ( _0 M# o2 e- |5 h

In December 2005 the original Routemaster was withdrawn from general service for accessibility and environmental reasons, but it can still be seen on two heritage routes in London. - M" Y; p! Z  y1 Z

In July 2008 a competition was launched by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, to design a new Routemaster bus for the capital. There were over 700 entries, with several designers jointly winning the £25,000 (244,000 Yuan) prize. ; R" V- T, n! @# R  _

A normal double-decker bus costs around £190,000 (around 1,900,000 Yuan) but it has cost £7.8m (76,000,000 Yuan) to design and build five new ones. # d$ e" ^, Y: Y

  什么东西是红“配”绿,开放且保守,老式但新潮?答案是:伦敦惊艳绝伦的新双层巴士。
, T* c% u  Z, K4 ]) \, c, U: {   + O% I3 p" p& g
  传统的红色双层巴士是伦敦的象征。当一辆英国双层巴士完成了一次最长旅行,从北京带来一位特殊的乘客:奥运圣火时,他们在2008年留下了深刻印象,

# d# P- T# l% [+ G 
' i/ ^) @8 M) w# |  新款巴士采用了更多绿色节能技术,并且具有2个楼梯和一个露天平台,人们能够跳上跳下。同时它看上去那么新潮-前部为一个不对称外观。- T  ~, I3 q+ d0 G+ |0 H/ T$ v
  " u% u3 ~1 V& S; `& J
  尽管他有很多设计创新,但并不都是新的。他的外观还是脱胎于伦敦著名的老式双层大巴:马路大师。
- c+ L4 h9 `" X4 {* q
$ A/ w/ b& z. m5 `( S9 h* u  2005年12月,由于便于残疾人使用和环保问题,传统的马路大师被库存起来,不过在伦敦2条游览线路上你还是可以看到他的身影。
( A" o9 O: c* v8 B% C% [' t& y& W- W. K/ h8 L2 g2 I3 c: e  L
  2008年6月伦敦市长Boris Johnson举行了新款马路大师设计比赛。超过700个作品进行角逐,获胜者将得到25000英镑(人民币244000元)的奖金。

  Johnson先生说:“我们交通系统中的新标志(指新大巴)不仅仅是漂亮,在旋弧形外观下他也具有绿色环保动力。”1 z( W- z: F% ?0 w3 q

% f) @/ L) [% Y6 \& V# X8 V  他希望全世界的市民都会羡慕嫉妒他所描述的21世纪伦敦惊艳的红色标志。$ I! f: Q% G% C, S

" H3 O3 v9 l$ Z# }# i2 ?3 r' \* j  但是,Johnson先生并不期待所有人来坐上一坐。市长已经因为新巴士的昂贵花费而被一些人指责。一辆普通双层大巴造价近似190000英镑(相当于1900000元),但是设计制造新的五辆大巴需要花费7800000英镑(76000000元)!1 ^" v. T! t; _
