私家车的利与弊 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Cars

Recently years, with the rapid development in our country, more and more people own their private cars. Some people think that private cars should be restricted, while others think that private cars should be encouraged. As far as I concern, I think owning a private car has both advantages and disadvantages.
最近几年，随着我国经济的快速发展，越来越多的人们拥有私家车。一些人认为应该禁止私家车，而一些人认为对其应该鼓励。就我看来，私家车有利有弊。

On one hand, private cars do bring the owners convenience and comfortable. If you have a car, you don’t need to take the bus or subway to work. You can image how crowded and slow when you get on a bus, especially during the rush hours. With your own car, you just don’t need to worry about this problem. What’s more, you can go to any places at any moment with your private car. Traveling by car is very comfortable and flexible. You can stop as you pleased and don’t need to worry about others feeling. I guess this is the biggest advantages of private cars.
一方面，私家车给车主们提供了方便和舒适。如果你有了车，就不用搭乘公车或者挤地铁上班了。你可以想象在上下班高峰期公车上是多么的拥挤，速度是多么的慢。有了车，你就不必担心这个问题了。更棒的是，你随时可以开着你的车到任何地方去。开着私家车去旅游方便又灵活。你想停就停，不用担心其他乘客的感受。我想，这就是私家车最大的好处吧。

On the other hand, the disadvantages of private cars are obvious. The noises that produce by cars are unbearable, the exhaust gas that cars give off are bad for people’s health. With countless cars on the street, people find it becomes harder to find a parking spot. What’s worse, tens of thousands people are killed or injured in the traffic accidents. 
另一方面，私家车的缺点也显而易见。车子发出的噪音难以忍受，排出的尾气也对人的身体有害。不计其数的车涌入街头，人们发现找位置停车比以前困难多了。更为糟糕的是，成千上万的人死于或者在车祸中受伤。

To sum up, private cars provide us with convenience as well as harm. Whether or not afford a private car depends on personal details.
总的来说，私家车带给我们方便的同时，也带来了伤害。至于是不是要购买私家车，取决于个人情况。
