It has recently been announced that large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
There would be both advantages and disadvantages to having a shopping center built in my neighborhood. One advantage would be the convenience. I would like to have all those stores close by. Shopping would be much easier and faster because I wouldn't have to drive great distances to get to the stores.
在我的邻居家建一个购物中心既有好处也有坏处。一个好处就是方便。我想把那些商店都关在附近。购物会更方便快捷，因为我不必开很远的车去商店。
A shopping center would mean more choices, because there would be more stores selling different products. I might have a movie theater nearby, because so many shopping centers these days include movie theaters in their plans. Most shopping centers also have restaurants and a food court. That means a greater variety of places to eat in our area.
购物中心意味着更多的选择，因为会有更多的商店出售不同的产品。我可能在附近有一家电影院，因为现在很多购物中心的计划中都有电影院。大多数购物中心也有餐厅和美食广场。这意味着在我们的地区有更多的地方可以吃饭。
Having a shopping center built in the neighborhood would also mean more jobs for the community. Initially, these jobs would be in the building of the center. Later the jobs would be in the stores, theaters, and food establishments.
在附近建一个购物中心也意味着社区有更多的工作机会。最初，这些工作将在中心大楼里进行。后来，这些工作将在商店、剧院和食品店展开。
Of course, these would be some disadvantages, too. Probably the biggest problem would be traffic. A lot of people would be coming to the shopping center. They'd drive through our neighborhood to get to the center. In addition, if there wasn't enough parking at the center, they might look for parking space near our homes.
当然，这些也会带来一些不利因素。可能最大的问题是交通。很多人会来购物中心。他们开车穿过我们的街区到市中心。此外，如果中心没有足够的停车位，他们可能会在我们家附近找停车位。
A shopping center might also invite more crime into our neighborhood. Parking lots after dark are a big temptation to robbers. They know people are there with money to spend. The shopping center might also become a place where unruly teenagers would gather. This could cause trouble. Our town would need a community center for them to go to instead.
购物中心也可能会招来更多的犯罪。天黑后的停车场对劫匪来说是个很大的诱惑。他们知道人们有钱可花。购物中心也可能成为不守规矩的青少年聚集的地方。这可能会引起麻烦。我们镇需要一个社区中心让他们去取而代之。
On the whole, though, I think my neighborhood should support having a shopping center built here, It would bring more variety to our shopping, give us the opportunity to amuse ourselves at movies theaters and restaurants, and bring more jobs into the area.
不过，总的来说，我认为我的邻居应该支持在这里建一个购物中心，它会给我们的购物带来更多的变化，给我们在电影院和餐馆娱乐的机会，并给这个地区带来更多的工作机会
