澳大利亚是全球{zd0}的国家之一，从一个地方到另一个地方要花很长时间，所以使用公共交通（巴士，火车）在澳洲会更加方便。在澳洲，大部分人开车或者开摩托车出行，有时候也走路或者骑脚踏车。汽车是澳洲人的主要交通工具，不管是农民、市民。所以如果你要在澳洲居住，{zh0}购买一辆车。新车和二手车市场在澳洲都很活跃，二手车市场更是因为价格优势而倍受关注。买车的同时，需要付一些税，也需要买一些保险。你还需要一个澳洲的驾驶证。在澳洲，无证驾驶将会被处以很大一笔的罚金。{zh0}不要在澳洲“Hitchhiking”，也就是“搭陌生人的顺风车”，这样会比较不安全。在澳洲公路上，你也可以看到很多很多运货的卡车。
Australia is one of the largest countries in the world and with that there is a large distance to cover to get from one place to another when using public transport in inland Australia and it is used much more frequently within cities and towns. Public transport is transport that someone else owns and charges a fare or ticket to enable people to travel on these services. There are two forms of transport in Australia. These are public and private. Private is transport that is owned by the individual and is used whenever he/she wishes. Many Australians use private transport in the form of cars and motor bikes, whilst walking and cycling is also done. People from rural, urban and residential areas cars as their major form of transportation, so if your looking to stay in these areas it is worthwhile to invest in a car. Cars can be bought either new or used. Used car dealers are numerous in Australia and often the price can be bargained down. Once you buy a car you must pay taxes and should buy insurance. A licence to drive a motor vehicle in Australia is essential, if you operate a vehicle without a licence you risk being fined a large money penalty. Hitchhiking, which means getting a free ride with a stranger in a car, is not an encouraged way of getting from place to place as this is regarded as unsafe. Trucks are used widely in Australia to transport goods over long distances, therefore you will see many trucks sharing the roads, mainly freeways but also highways, with other motorists.
接下来我们讲一下澳洲的公共交通，澳洲的公交跟它的国家一样，都是{sjlx}的，虽然火车偶尔会晚点或者取消，但是火车还是长途旅行的{zj0}选择。打车在各种交通工具中是比较贵的一种，相对来说汽车和火车会便宜一些（大概2~10美元一次），出租车的价格也根据车型（在中国的帕萨特和奔驰出租的区别）、距离，一般的出租车起步价3.2澳币，之后是1.6澳币每公里。
There are many forms of public transport in Australia. Australia is of course a developed country and with that its public transport system is up to high international standards. Although the train systems may not run exactly on time or cancellations may ocurr, trains are often the best method for civilians to travel across long distances via public transport. Taxis are regarded as more expensive than any other form of public transport whereas trains and buses are the cheapest. There are many taxis available and prices range depending on distance travelled and time of day, sizes and shapes with luxury taxi services available.
另一种在墨尔本能见的交通，是有轨电车。有轨电车是墨尔本中心城区的交通工具，从城区一直通到郊区。墨尔本的公交车四通八达，晚上也运营到很晚。有的时候，坐水路穿过湖泊比开车更快，比如从吉郎（Geelong）到墨尔本。
Another form of transport found mainly in Melbourne, but also available in a lesser degree in a few other cities, is a tram service. This form of public transport is located in Melbourne’s Central Business District (CBD) and stretches to the outskirts of inner Melbourne. Buses operate all over major cities, towns and rural areas and often offer late night services. Ferries or mid sized boats can be used to cross lakes and rivers in some areas, such as travelling from Geelong to Melbourne buy ferrie can be faster than travelling by car.
在墨尔本，车票的定价跟上海不同，不是根据距离远近来定价的。在墨尔本，政府把城市分成两个区，1区和2区，区内交通（在一个区内坐车），只需付一次钱（大约是2.4澳币），而区间坐车（比如从1区到2区），就要付2个区的钱（大约是3.6澳币）。当然，你也可以买一张2小时票，日票，在固定时间内，可以随意乘坐公交和火车。
Fare prices for public transport essentially remain fixed and is not measured in distance like they do in China’s metro service. Melbourne ticket price system is based on two zones, zone 1 and zone 2. If travelling in one zone you need only to pay the fee for the one zone unless you are crossing into the other zone in which you will have to pay the other zones fee also. Prices range from $2 to $10 a day depending on factors such as concession, daily, two hour tickets etc.
越来越多的澳洲人正在开始使用相对便宜的公共交通出行，如果你是新移民，你将会喜欢上澳洲，并拥有一个完善的公共交通体系。
Many Australians use public transport and an increasing number of people are starting to shift to public transport, due to it being a cheaper form of transport than driving your own car. If you are new to the country you will most likely be using public transport as your means of transportation, but you will be lucky as Australia is a great country and has a reliable transportation system.
