Cars(II)

Cars (Il) Cars help people get to places that are far away. They travel long distances quickly. And, they bring families together. Of course, most people in the world don't have a car. Some people have never even seen a car. Maybe this isn't such a bad thing. Can you imagine how much fun people would have if they drove horse carriages, or if the streets were full of people riding bikes?You could chat with the person next to you while riding your bike.

汽车(2) 汽车帮助人们到达很远的地方。长途旅行它们很快。而且，它们使家庭团聚。 当然，世界上大多数人都没有车。 有些人甚至从未见过汽车。也许这并不是一件坏事。 你能想象如果人们开着马车，或者街上都是骑自行车的人，那会有多有趣吗?你可以在骑自行车的时候和旁边的人聊天。

One hundred years ago, there were only a few cars in the whole world. Today, there is one car for every eleven people on earth. How many cars is that? Well, that's about 600 million cars on our little planet. Think about how much gas these cars can burn! l think I'll stick with my bicycle for now. It never needs gas!

一百年前，全世界只有几辆汽车。今天，地球上每11个人拥有一辆汽车。有多少辆车? 在我们这个小星球上大约有6亿辆车。想想这些车能烧多少油! 我想我现在还是骑自行车吧。它从来不需要汽油!
