漫画内容:一家伙开着小车往阶梯上爬。四个阶梯,从下往上依次有中文写着:维修费,油价,车险,考证费。图下面有一行字:“车价降了,费用涨了”。是说目前小汽车费用人们难以负担。

Currently, car price war in China contributes to the ever-increasing car sales. As the cartoon indicates, many people take the opportunity to realize their car dream, but without noticing the rising costs in maintenance, gasoline, insurance and training.[开门见山,描述图画内容,表明主题]
What the cartoon seems to suggest is that to afford the luxury, you have to be financially and psychologically prepared. There’s no denying the fact that a car provides you with comfort and convenience, but before buying a car you have to take into account its costs. In the wake of your owning a car, the annual cost May rang from several thousands to tens of thousands yuan. If relevant costs increase, you will have to face it as it is.[从正反两方面论证车价降费用涨的矛盾现象]
As far as I am concerned, I would rather take a taxi than buy a car myself. Besides the costs, you will have to take great trouble to find a parking lot, to worry about a possible accident, to guard against its being stolen…. Furthermore, you will find yourself lazy by owning a car: wherever you go, you are at the wheels; in the long run, it may damage your health. Anyhow, to buy or not to buy in the face of lowering car price and relevant rise of costs, the choice is yours.[从中得到的启迪]
