Motorcar a Boon or a Menace ?(汽車——是福還是禍?)

Motorcar a Boon or a Menace ?
      The use of the motorcar is becoming more and more widespread in the 21st century. Possessing a car gives a much greater degree of mobility, enabling the driver to move around freely. The car owner is no longer forced to rely on public transport to get about. With the building of good, fast motorways long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly. And many people are now able to enjoy their leisure time to the full by making trips to the country or seaside at weekends, instead of being confined to their immediate neighborhood.
      When, however, considering the drawbacks, perhaps poilution is of prime problems. As more and more cars are produced and used, so the emission from their exhaust pipes contains an ever larger volume of poisonous gas, which not only pollutes the atmosphere but causes actual harm to the health of people. Another serious problem is traffic congestion, endless queuse of cars crawling bumper to bumper through all the main streets. Difficulties in finding parking lots, and the cost of petrol and road tax all add to the driver' s worries.
      With both of these advantages and disadvantages of the use of a car in mind, I, personally, prefer to have my own car for work and play. I can have a wider choice of jobs as I no longer have to work locally, and I can make better use of my free time by driving out at weekends. The feeling of independence, and the freedom to go where I please, is what I enjoy most.

汽車——是福還是禍?
    21世紀汽車的應用越來越廣泛了。有了汽車人們活動范圍擴大了，可以自由地到處漫游。  出行時可以不必再依賴公共交通。隨著質量好、速度快的高速公路的建成，人們可以迅速愉快地完成長距離的行程，充分享受閑暇時光，在周末做一次鄉村旅行或海濱旅游，不必只局限在附近地區轉游。
    然而說到汽車的缺點，也許污染問題是第一位的。  由于與日俱增地生產和使用汽車，致使有毒氣體的排放量比以往任何時候都多，這不僅污染了空氣，也危害人類健康。另一個嚴重問題是交通堵塞，在所有的主要街道上，汽車長龍首尾相接，緩緩向前爬行。尋找車位的困難，使用汽油的花費和需交納公路稅等問題都增添了駕駛者的煩惱。
    權衡利弊，我個人還是喜歡能擁有自己的車來上班和娛樂。有了汽車選擇工作的余地就寬了，因為我不必非要在本地工作。我還能更好地利用空余時間，周末可以開車出去兜風。我最欣賞的就是這種獨立的感覺和想去哪就去哪的自由。
