#Person1#: Nowadays, ships and boats are no longer so important in transportation as they used to be.
#Person2#: True. With the extension of railways and highways, and the improvement of safety and capacity of airplanes, ships and boats have been giving place to trains, planes and automobiles.
#Person1#: I read in the newspapers that the passenger liners from Shanghai to Ningpo and Dalian have been out of business ; and the liners up and down the Yangtze River have been reduced by 70 %.
#Person2#: The pace of life of people is now getting faster and faster, so the speed of ships and boats seems to be so slow. I think it may be the reason why people don't like to travel by boat.
#Person1#: But the most of the transoceanic cargo transportation is still carried by boat.
#Person1# and #Person2# are talking about the development of transportation and the importance of boats.
transportation
#Person1#: Saat ini, kapal dan perahu tidak lagi sepenting dulu dalam transportasi.

#Person2#: Benar. Dengan perluasan rel kereta api dan jalan raya, serta peningkatan keselamatan dan kapasitas pesawat terbang, kapal dan perahu telah digantikan oleh kereta api, pesawat terbang, dan mobil.

#Person1#: Saya membaca di koran bahwa kapal penumpang dari Shanghai ke Ningpo dan Dalian telah gulung tikar; dan kapal yang berlayar di sepanjang Sungai Yangtze telah berkurang hingga 70%.

#Person2#: Laju kehidupan masyarakat kini semakin cepat, sehingga kecepatan kapal dan perahu tampak begitu lambat. Saya pikir mungkin itulah alasan mengapa orang tidak suka bepergian dengan perahu.

#Person1#: Namun, sebagian besar transportasi kargo lintas samudra masih dilakukan dengan perahu.
#Orang1# dan #Orang2# berbicara tentang perkembangan transportasi dan pentingnya perahu.
