买电动车
Buying an electric car — Chinese reading, HSK 5

去年我家换了一辆电动汽车。当时家里人意见不一：我觉得电动车环保，用电比加油便宜得多；爸爸却担心电池不耐用，跑长途的时候找不到地方充电。

Last year my family switched to an electric car. At the time we disagreed: I thought electric cars were green and that electricity was much cheaper than petrol; Dad worried the battery wouldn't last and that on long trips we couldn't find anywhere to charge.
开了一年以后，事实证明我们俩说的都有道理。在城市里，电动车确实又安静又省钱，每个月的费用还不到原来的三分之一。可是国庆节开车回老家，高速公路服务区的充电桩前排起了长队，我们等了一个多小时。

After a year of driving it, the facts showed we were both right. In the city the electric car really is quiet and cheap — less than a third of what we used to spend each month. But driving home for National Day, there were long queues at the motorway service-area chargers, and we waited over an hour.
看来，新技术带来方便的同时，相关的设施也要跟上才行。

It seems that when new technology brings convenience, the facilities that go with it have to keep up too.
