中國(guó)人的出行方式經(jīng)過了一個(gè)從“體力”到“便捷”的漫長(zhǎng)過程。20世紀(jì)50至70年代，自行車是中國(guó)人最“拉風(fēng)”的代步工具，也是那個(gè)時(shí)期最具有符號(hào)意義的社會(huì)特征。2世紀(jì)80年代，摩托車開始逐步成為交通工具中的“新寵”。20世紀(jì)90年代初期至現(xiàn)在的20多年間里，隨著城市交通和汽車工業(yè)的發(fā)展，加之忙碌的生活節(jié)奏，越來越多的人選擇以汽車代步，私家車的數(shù)量以驚人的速度與日俱增，老百姓的生活“安”上了車輪。

　　The ways Chinese people adopt to get around has experienced a long transformation from depending on physical strength to taking convenient tools. From the 1950s to the 1970s, bicycle, in place of on foot, was the most fashionable means of transportation and also the most important characteristic of society. In the 1980s, motorcycles gradually became people’s favorite. During the past 20-plus years ranging from the early 1990s to the present, with the development of urban traffic and automotive industry and increasingly busy life, more and more people prefer private cars, making the number of private cars grow at a surprising speed and the life of ordinary people seem to be installed by wheels, moving ahead fast.
