　　The map shows the changes and development of Chorleywood village in Great Britain over a period of 126 years from 1868 to 1994.

　　从年代的变迁来看，从1868-1883的15年里，Chorleywood仅仅是一个很小的村庄，西面有一条主路。1883-1922年，村庄的规模向南扩大了近三倍，而且在1909年有了一条铁路线东西横穿新区，有了Chorleywood火车站。1922-1970年，村庄从东、西两面又扩大了一倍多。1970-1994年间，村庄加速向东面扩展，形成了以建于1970年的南北方向的机动车公路为中轴、以差不多平行的东西向主路和铁路为切分线的五大区域，规模比原来又扩大了一倍多，Chorleywood公园和高尔夫球场将新区与老区分隔开来。

　　Chronologically, during the first 15 years from 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood was merely a very small village with one main road to its west. From 1883 to 1922, we see that the village expanded to south, almost tripled the original scale. Besides, a railway line was built across the new area from west to east and there emerged the Chorleywood Station. During 1922-1970, Chorleywood extended both eastward and westward and almost doubled the previous size. Then during 1970-1994, the village accelerated its pace of development eastward and three new areas took shape with a north-south motorway built in 1970 as the axis, with the almost paralleled east-west main road and railway as two dividing lines, cutting this new area into five parts. This new expansion was almost twice the scale of the old village. The Chorleywood Park and a golf course separated the old and new area.

　　由此，我们看到了这个小村庄100多年里的快速发展史。

　　Thus, we see the fast expansion history of this small village across a span of over 100 years.
