Could it be your town?
这会是你所在的城镇吗？
Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville. When Jo's grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house, close to fields and hills.
乔15岁，生活在帕克维尔。当乔的祖父母第一次来到帕克维尔时，它是一个安静的村庄。他们有一栋靠近田地和小山的小房子。
Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,000 people. People from Parkville moved to Arnwick to find jobs,and they needed places to live. However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats outside the centre. So on, Parkville became part of Arnwick, and Arnwick became a city with over a million people. Jo's family lives in one of those flats. It is very crowded, and rubbish is also a problem.
帕克维尔靠近阿恩威克，一座拥有20万人口的城市。从帕克维尔来的人搬往阿恩威克去找工作，并且他们需要地方居住。然而，住在阿恩威克市中心是很贵的，所以政府在城市中心的外围建造公寓。很快，帕克维尔变成了阿恩威克的一部分，阿恩威克成为了一座拥有超过一百万人口的城市。乔一家就住在其中一套公寓中。公寓十分拥挤，并且垃圾也是一个问题。
The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to go to a school in Arnwick with 2,000 pupils. It takes an hour to get there by bus. There is alot of traffic and pollution.
帕克维尔当地的小学校5年前就关闭了，所以乔现在得去阿恩威克的一个有着2 000名学生的学校上学。乘公共汽车到达那儿要花一个小时的时间。沿途交通拥堵，污染严重。
It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools, buses and hospitals. It needs fresh air, clean water and better public services. It also needs more police to protect its people. But to do all these things,it needs more money.
显然，阿恩威克需要更多的学校、公共汽车和医院。它需要新鲜的空气、干净的水源以及更好的公共服务。它还需要更多的警察来保护它的居民。但是要做所有的这些事情，阿恩威克需要更多的资金。
However,can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities like this? In fact, this is just a story. But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be your town some day?
然而，钱能帮助解决所有这些问题吗？我们需要更多像这样的大城市吗？事实上，这只是一个故事。但是它反映了世界各地的现状。阿恩威克会不会是你所在的城镇的明天呢？
