With the increase in the general standard of living, some ordinary Chinese families begin to afford a car. Yet opinions of the development of a private car vary from person to person.
Some claim that there are many advantages in possessing a car. It gives a much greater degree of comfort and mobility. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and buses or taxies. With a car he can go where he likes and when he wants, so much so that he can enjoy his leisure to the full by making trips to the country or seaside on the weekends, instead of being confined to his immediate neighborhood.
However, others strongly object to developing private cars. They maintain that as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. In fact, private cars contribute to traffic congestion so greatly that advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration caused by traffic jams.
Whether private cars should be developed in China is a difficult question to answer. Yet the desire for the comfort and independence a private car can bring won"t be eliminated.
随着生活水平的提高，一些普通的中国家庭开始买一辆汽车。然而，私家车的发展对人的发展有不同的看法。
有人声称拥有汽车有许多优点。它提供了一个更大程度的舒适度和流动性。一辆车的主人不再被迫依靠公共交通，和公共汽车或出租车。有了一辆汽车，他可以去他喜欢的地方，当他想去的地方，这样他可以享受他的休闲，充分的旅行到国家或海滨的周末，而不是被限制在他的直接附近。
然而，其他人强烈反对发展私家车。他们认为，随着越来越多的汽车生产和在街上运行，大量的有毒气体将被释放，污染了大气，并造成实际危害人民的健康。事实上，私家车有助于交通拥堵，因此，在舒适和自由的优势，往往被取消了由交通拥堵造成的挫折。
中国是否应该在中国发展私人汽车是一个很难回答的问题。然而，对舒适和独立的欲望，私人汽车可以带来不被淘汰。
