As machines go, the car is not terribly noisy, nor terribly polluting, nor terribly dangerous; and on all those dimensions it has become better as the century has grown older. The main problem is its prevalence, and the social costs that ensue from the use by everyone of something that would be fairly harmless if, say, only the rich were to use it. It is a price we pay for equality.
Before becoming too gloomy, it is worth recalling why the car has been arguably the most successful and popular product of the whole of the past 100 yearsand remains so.
dimension n.尺寸, 尺度, 维, 度, 元
prevalence n.流行
ensue vi.跟着发生, 继起 vt. 追求
gloomy adj.黑暗的, 阴沉的, 令人沮丧的, 阴郁的
