Problems with Venice(威尼斯)
A lot of books for learning English discuss problems of the modern world: pollution(污染), too much traffic(交通). Venice has some of these problems, but the city has its own problems. For example, there are no cars in Venice and very few people can drive. The traffic problem is caused by the boats. They go too fast and make the water damage(损坏)the buildings.
Every year, between September and April, the water covers a lot of the city. It goes into all the shops which are on the ground floor and, of course, into people’s houses. In November 1979, the water rose more than a meter above the normal level(正常水平). This happened every day for a whole week. On some days, it happened twice.
People in Venice usually wear rubber boots(橡胶水靴). In some places, there are high platforms(平台)to walk along. Sometimes offices have to close because the water can damage computers and machines. And, of course, it is terrible for old people.
Other problems in Venice are caused by too many tourists in summer. They move in large groups and boats usually get very crowded(拥挤的). Prices in the hotels and restaurants are often very high.
However, people still think Venice is a good place to live in because it is a human(人文的)city.
