摘要：交通當(dāng)局周四表示，北京明年將繼續(xù)通過(guò)搖號(hào)來(lái)限制車輛注冊(cè)以控制道路車輛數(shù)量。你知道怎么用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)嗎?

　　Beijing will continue to limit new vehicle registrations through a lottery system next year to hold down the number of vehicles on the road, the transportation authority said on Thursday.

　　Li Xiaosong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, told a news conference on Thursday that granting car registrations via a lottery system is an effective way to prevent the number of vehicles from rising quickly.

　　The measure was introduced in 2011 to cap new car ownership at 240,000 a year.

　　交通當(dāng)局周四表示，北京明年將繼續(xù)通過(guò)搖號(hào)來(lái)限制車輛注冊(cè)以控制道路車輛數(shù)量。

　　北京市交通委員會(huì)副主任李曉松在周四的新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上說(shuō)，購(gòu)車搖號(hào)是阻止車輛增長(zhǎng)過(guò)快一個(gè)有效方式。

　　2011年購(gòu)車搖號(hào)政策開(kāi)始施行，為了將每年的新車數(shù)量控制在24萬(wàn)輛。

　　【講解】

　　“購(gòu)車搖號(hào)”在文中的表達(dá)為car/vehicle registration through/via a lottery system，car/vehicle registration是“車輛登記”，lottery意為“抽獎(jiǎng)給獎(jiǎng)法，彩票”，如football lottery(足彩)，welfare lottery(福彩)。文中第一句里hold down這個(gè)短語(yǔ)意思是“壓低，使不上漲”，最后一句中的cap作動(dòng)詞，意為“限制(數(shù)量)”。
