基础设施建设缓慢影响汽车工业

After more than two-years of rapid growth, China's booming passenger car market experienced a slow summer in 2011. With the future of the car market looking more uncertain than before, our reporter Lu Yao takes a look at the challenges facing the industry.
在两年多的快速增长之后，中国急速发展的轿车市场在2011年经历了一个不景气的夏天。由于未来汽车市场比以前更加不稳定，我们的记者Lu Yao将看看汽车行业正面临的挑战。

Like thousands of car owners in the Beijing metropolitan area, Hou Junfeng bought his car three years ago. Although Beijing's license restriction policy doesn't affect him, he's finding owning a car may not be all it’s cracked up to be.
与成千上万北京都市圈的车主一样，Hou Junfeng是三个月前买车的。尽管北京的驾照限制政策没有影响到他，但是他发觉拥有一辆车可能并不像人们说的那么好。

Hou Junfeng, a Beijing resident said, "I can not drive my car every single day because of the traffic control policy; even when I'm driving, a lot of the time I just can't find a parking space near my workplace, home, or local shopping centers. And gas prices are expensive too. Having a car is kind of an inconvenience."
北京市民Hou Junfeng表示：“ 因为交通管理政策，我不能每天都开车；即使我开车了，很多时候我都不能在工作的地方、家或者购物中心附近找到一个停车位。而且油价也很贵。拥有一辆车是有点儿不方便。”

A clash is emerging in many of China's cities between rapidly growing car ownership and the slower pace of infrastructure development. Efficient road networks and sound urban planning could be pivotal to the future development of the Chinese car market. Experts say severe traffic jams, a shortage of parking space, could all make life difficult for future car buyers.
中国的很多城市出现了汽车保有量快速增长和基础设施发展缓慢的之间矛盾。高效的道路网和健全的城市规划对中国未来汽车市场的发展是至关重要的。专家表示，严重的交通堵塞、停车位的缺乏可能使未来的汽车购买者生活艰难。

Du Fangci, Assistant Secretary General from China Assn. of Automotive Manufacturer said, "Well-rounded city development and redevelopment plans are closely tied to the car industry. Without infrastructure to back it up, the car industry is a castle on sand."
中国汽车制造商协会秘书长助理Du Fangci表示：“城市全面的发展和重建计划与汽车工业紧密联系。没有基础设施的支持，汽车工业就像是沙子建的城堡，不堪一击。”

Besides infrastructure, energy supply is also vital for a stable and healthy Chinese car market. China's increasing dependance on oil, and possible energy shortages in the future, may restrict the development of the car market. Foreign experts are echoing the concerns of their Chinese counterparts.
除了基础设施，能源供应对中国建立一个稳定的、健康的汽车市场也极其重要。中国对石油的依存度不断提高，未来可能的能源短缺有可能限制汽车市场的发展。外国的专家和他们的中国同行有相同的忧虑。

Masashi Nino, chief representative of Japan Automobile Manufacturers Assn. said, "To maintain China's car market, coping with energy issues and developing alternative energy for vehicles will be key challenges for the future."
日本汽车制造商协会首席代表Masashi Nino表示：“为了保持中国的汽车市场的发展，解决能源问题、开发汽车的替代能源将是未来主要的挑战。”

Back in Beijing, Hou Junfeng is still driving. But for China's car industry, experts say the big growth markets of the future are going to be in the west of the country, along with the second and third tier cities.
目光回到北京，Hou Junfeng仍然在开车。但是对中国的汽车工业来说，专家称，未来巨大的发展市场将是在中国的西部，以及二三线城市。
