我們應該限制私家車嗎？Should We Put A Limit on Private Cars?

With the rapiddevelopment of Chinese economic and the improvement of living standards ofordinary people, more and more private cars are on road. Some people thinkprivate cars can bring great convenience to the owners while others argue thatgovernment should put a limit on private cars. In my humble opinion, we shouldput a limit on private cars.

隨着中國經濟的快速增長和普通人民生活水平的提高，人們擁有了越來越多的私家車。一些人認爲私家車給車主提供了極大的便利，其他人則認爲政府應該限制私家車的數量。在我看來，我們應該限制私家車。

First of all, themore private cars, the more traffic jams. If people stuck on a traffic jam, itwill cost them a lot of time, some people even late for work. What’s more,nowadays finding a parking spot is much harder than before because there aretoo many cars on streets. Sometimes you just arrive at the destination, but youjust cannot find a place to park your car. The place is so crowded that youhave to park in other place which may be far away from your destination.

首先，私家車越多，交通越擁堵。如果人們被堵住了，就會浪費掉很多時間。一些人甚至上班遲到。更糟糕的是，現如今要找個停車位比之前難了很多，因爲有太多的私家車。有時候你開車到了目的地，卻找不到一個合適的停車位，你不得不停到一個離目的地較遠的地方。

Secondly, theprice of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, not to mention the pricesfor the insurance and the fear of being stolen. If you do not make enoughmoney, you can barely pay for the fees of the cars. This can cause great burdento your daily life.

其次，汽油和維護的費用經常上漲，更不用說保險費和擔心車子被偷的風險了。如果你賺的錢不夠多，你很難維持車子所需的費用。這可能會對你的生活造成負擔。

Last but notleast, the cars produce tens of thousands of carbon dioxide, which will creategreenhouse effect and other serious environmental pollution. Someenvironmentalists predict that in the next few years, the ozone layer willfully disappear and will increase the rate of getting skin cancer. And the airwe breathe in is not as pure as before, do we really need to sacrifice ourfuture to enjoy the so called convenience?

最後，汽車會排放成千上萬頓的二氧化碳。這會造成溫室效應和其他更爲嚴重的環境污染。有些環境學家預測在未來幾年內，臭氧層將會全部消失，並導致人們得皮膚癌的機率增加。我們吸入的空氣也不像之前那麼純淨，我們真的要犧牲未來去享受所謂的“方便”麼？

Due to thesereason, I think people should think twice before they buy a private car. Weshould not only consider the increasing cost of owning a car, but also shouldthink about the future we have. It’s not only a personal thing, but also thewhole country, the whole world.

通過這些原因，我認爲人們在買私家車之前理應三思。我們不應該只考慮養車的費用，還有我們所擁有的未來。這不僅僅是個人問題，也是我們國家、全世界的問題。
