It has recently been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
I can see both advantages and disadvantages to having a new restaurant built in our neighborhood. I'm worried about traffic and how it will affect our neighborhood. However, I think that it will benefit local businesses and increase appreciation for our neighborhood. Overall, I think it is a good idea.
我可以看到在我们附近建一家新餐馆的利弊。我很担心交通，担心它会对我们的邻居产生什么影响。不过，我认为这将使当地企业受益，并增加对我们社区的赞赏。总的来说，我认为这是一个好主意。
Traffic congestion is always a concern when you build something new. Our streets are narrow, with parking on both sides. More cars traveling through the neighborhood could cause a lot of congesting. Traffic means parking problems, too. Our neighborhood has very few garages attached to the houses. Most of us depend on finding a space to park on the street. If the new restaurant is built, we'll be competing for those spaces with the restaurant's patrons. Plus, if the restaurant offers wallet parking, it'll be even worse. Valet parkers work in teams to grab every possible space available on the street.
当你建造新的东西时，交通堵塞总是一个令人担忧的问题。我们的街道很窄，两边都有停车场。更多的汽车在附近行驶可能会造成大量的拥挤。交通也意味着停车问题。我们附近的房子几乎没有车库。我们大多数人都指望能在街上找到停车的地方。如果新餐厅建成了，我们将与餐厅的顾客争夺这些空间。另外，如果餐厅提供钱包停车位，情况会更糟。代客泊车的人一组一组地抢占街道上所有可能的空间。
I'm also concerned about the type of patrons this new restaurant will bring into our neighborhood. A family restaurant wouldn't be a problem. However, if it's going have a bar and dancing, then there could be problems. The restaurant would stay open later, and people leaving the restaurant might be drunk. Who wouldn't worry about rowdy customers staggering around our neighborhood in the early morning hours, looking for their cars?
我也很担心这家新餐馆会给我们的邻居带来什么样的顾客。一家家庭餐厅不会是个问题。然而，如果它有一个酒吧和舞蹈，那么可能会有问题。这家餐厅稍后将继续营业，离开餐厅的人可能会喝醉。谁会不担心吵闹的顾客在清晨摇摇晃晃地在我们的小区里找车呢？
I have to admit, though, there are advantages to a new restaurant. Our neighborhood could certainly use the jobs the restaurant would provide. Not only that, the money neighborhood residents would earn there would likely be spent at other neighborhood businesses. This would give a boost to those businesses and make our neighborhood more prosperous.
不过，我不得不承认，新餐馆有好处。我们的邻居肯定会利用餐馆提供的工作。不仅如此，邻里居民在那里挣的钱很可能会花在其他邻里生意上。这将促进这些企业的发展，使我们的社区更加繁荣。
A new restaurant would also attract a lot of people to our neighborhood. They could see what a nice area this is to live. That might attract new residents to the neighborhood. That would be a good thing, because we've been losing residents to the suburbs the last couple of years.
一家新餐馆也会吸引很多人来我们的社区。他们可以看到这是一个多么美好的生活区域。这可能会吸引新居民来附近居住。这是件好事，因为我们最近几年一直在郊区失去居民。
There are a lot of details to consider, but all in all, I support the idea of this new restaurant in our neighborhood.
有很多细节需要考虑，但总的来说，我支持在我们附近建这家新餐馆的想法
