The Modern Flying Carpets and Wind-Fire Wheels

In the past, flying carpets and wind-fire wheels only appeared in myths or people's dreams. Nowadays, many travel tools better than them have become reality. Large passenger planes fly over our heads. Within one day, they can carry people to nearly any corner of the earth. So, if you send your selfies in five different countries in three days, don't expect anyone in your friend circle to feel surprised.

Similarly, if a friend sends you a photo of himself riding on a single wheel self-balance car, you won't find it too cool. Maybe you'll just warn him, “Hey, obey the traffic rules!” That's why nowadays “being on wheels” no longer just means “riding a car”. In cities all over the world, new transportation tools give a unique view: for example, the shared bicycles, both convenient and energy-saving. Of course, you may say, “Is that new? Shared electric scooters are common now!” Yes, even skateboards that only appeared in playgrounds seem to have become a travel tool for some college students. Sometimes they turn around like a lone ranger in crowds. And often, they may have a big fall when they are most proud of their skills.

Yes, these new generation tools have pros and cons. But they are the results of human efforts to realize their dreams. As long as good rules could regulate the production and use of them, we can enjoy more interesting ways of transportation. So, why not?

在过去，飞毯和风火轮只出现在神话或人们的梦想中。而如今，许多超越他们的代步工具已成为现实。大型客机从我们的头顶飞过。在一天之内，它们可以把人们送至地球上几乎任何角落。所以，如果你在三天内上传在五个不同国家的自拍照，别指望你的朋友圈里会有人感到惊讶。

同样，如果朋友给你发了一张他踩着独轮平衡车的照片，你也不会觉得很酷。你或许只是警告他，“嘿，遵守交通规则！”这就是为什么现在“在轮子上”不再仅仅意味着“开车”。世界各地的城市中，新的交通工具构成了一道独特的风景线：比如说方便的共享单车。当然，你可能会说：“这算新奇吗？共享电动踏板车现在都很常见了！”是的，甚至以前只出现在运动上的滑板似乎已经成为一些大学生的代步工具。有时他们在人群中像独行侠一样穿行。他们也经常会在最得意的时候摔上一个大跟头。

诚然，这些新生代交通工具有利有弊，但它们是人类努力实现梦想的成果。只要能出台相关的规则来规范这些交通工具的生产和应用，我们就可以享受更多有趣的交通方式。所以，为什么不呢？
