英語聽力：告訴你一生必知的事01：愛車一族的福音

Since the very first modern car was invented by Karl Benz, cars have become more and more popular and sought after by many people. For young guys, buying a new car is exciting since a car represents a certain level of independence ( 獨立). With a car of your own, you don't have to rely on your parents, friends or even buses for transportation. Owning a car you have to pay a lot of money in parking , maintenance ( 保養(yǎng)), petrol, tax and insurance, which will cost you a lot. However, compared with buying a house, buying a car is less expensive. Different from the "fixed" assets such as house, car is a kind of "current" asset, and it can enlarge your activity space and take you to wherever you like.

自從卡爾·本茨發(fā)明了第一輛現(xiàn)代汽車之后，車變得越來越普遍，成為人們競相追逐的對象。對于年輕人而言，買車是一件讓人興奮的事情，因為擁有自己的車便等同于擁有一定程度的獨立性，從此無需在交通方面依賴父母、朋友或者是公交車。雖然將各種停車費、維修保養(yǎng)費、油、稅、保險費等全部算下來，養(yǎng)車需要花費一筆不小的開銷，然而與買房子相比，買車要便宜得多。相對于房子等"固定"資產(chǎn)而言，汽車是"流動"資產(chǎn)，它能最大限度地幫助你擴大活動范圍，并帶你到你想去的任何地方。
