It isn’t always easy for pedestrians to get around in a large city. A bustling city has many dangers that you should be aware of at all times. One of the many hazards people must face in Taipei is that of motorcyclists driving on the sidewalks. Taipei is often crowded during rush hours. Traffic can be horrible. Not only are the streets dangerous, but the sidewalks are unsafe as well. It is almost impossible to walk without having a motorcycle roar up behind you. Some of the motorcyclists are searching for a parking space. Others are trying to avoid traffic on the streets. Either way, they can be a real headache for people who are walking.
Since motorcycles have to park on the sidewalks, there is no easy answer to this problem. One choice is to make separate areas for motorcycle parking. Another is to build special bridges above the sidewalks just for people. Right now, perhaps the best solution may be to make to motorcyclists get off their motorcycles when they are on the sidewalks. This way, everyone on the sidewalks will be on the same level. (excerpted from GEPT Reading Comprehension by Jolihi Press, 2004)

在大城市中，行人要到處走走總是不容易。一個繁華的城市裡有許多隨時要注意的危險。在台北的人必須面對的許多危險之一是在人行道上行駛的機車。台北在尖峰時段時往往人潮擁擠。交通是很可怕的。街頭不僅危險，而且人行道上也不安全。身後沒有摩托車呼嘯而過這幾乎是不可能的。一些機車騎士在找停車位。其他的騎士則嘗試避開街道上的交通。無論哪種方式，他們都是行人真正的頭痛。
由於機車停放在人行道上，這個問題是沒有簡單的答案。一種選擇是分隔的機車停車區。另一種是在人行道上建築僅供行人的特殊橋樑。眼下，也許是最好的解決辦法可能是當摩托車騎士在人行道上時要他們下車。這樣的方式，人行道上的每個人就可以處於在同一基準上。
