Part Four: Monologue
Americans love big cars. They buy huge trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) that could go across a desert and back to take their kids to school. It really is a horrible thing for the environment, since these vehicles produce more pollution and use more gas than smaller vehicles. For Americans, however, cars are more than just a way to get somewhere. They’re symbols of wealth, and sometimes, the one place they can get away from everything. Driving in their cars by themselves, they don’t have to think about their work, family, love-life, or anything else but the open road. They put some good music on the car stereo, turn on the air conditioner, roll up the windows, and just drive.
好國人對年夜車情有獨鍾。他們購寘卡車或是活動型車輛，這樣既能橫穿沙漠，返來又能够接受小孩唸書。但關於環境狀態來講是無奈設想的，由於這些車型釀成的淨化比小型車更严重，燃燒的汽油也更多。對好國人來讲，汽車不單單是中出的一種东西，更是財產的象征，有時，也是他們可以扔開一切事務而獨處的處所。自己開著車能够不必往念事件、傢庭、情感生活或其他事情，只有留心那廣闊的途徑。翻開車內的聲響，放點音樂，開點空調，把窗玻琍搖上，便這樣開著車。
