英语翻译
In the past,a city’s major shopping district was in its downtown area.People could get downtown more easily than they could get to other parts of the city.Before the 1960s,the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car,a subway,a railroad,or an elevated train.All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.
As our cities grew outward,people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly.Driving downtown was difficult.Finding a parking space downtown was something almost impossible.People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.
To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs,groups of businesses moved farther out,too.Today,most suburbs have large shopping centers.
Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground.They have even more space for parking than they do for stores.The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores.Often,the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.
The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant.The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking.Shoppers can stroll（漫步）from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains,statues,and plants.There are benches so that shoppers may rest.Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.

过去,一个城市的主要消费地区是在市区.比起城市的其他地方,去市区的话更加方便.在20世纪60年代以前,在城市中穿梭的最佳交通工具就是街道电车,地铁,铁路,或者提速列车.而所有这些交通工具都是在通向市区的轨道上运行.
随着城区的扩张,远离城区的人们需要一个可以快速抵达的场所.而想直接到达市区不是一件容易的事情.想在市区赵个停车位更是比登天还难.人们也需要一个方便停车的购物点.
为了满足郊区市民的购物需要,许多营业场所也转移到了郊区.现今,大多数的郊区都有了购物中心.
现代化的,设计合理的购物中心占地非常大.停车的空间甚至超出了商铺的面积.购物中心有着各种各样的商店.这些店主可以轻松地在一个地方做他们所有的买卖.
特别大型的购物中心拥有商店街,这使得购物变得更为愉快舒适.商店街的两旁是商店,中间供顾客步行.顾客们可以一边逛商店,一边欣赏喷泉,雕塑和绿化.还有可供休息用的长椅.还有的购物中心装有天顶,可以让顾客们不受天气的干扰,尽情购物.
