Is everybody crazy?! - 我看「瘋狂加油事件」

"Everybody is crazy!" I thought, when I was stuck on bus for two hours after work yesterday. Usually, it only takes less than one hour to get home. So it's easy to imagine how I felt in the traffic jam caused by the cars lined up waiting for filling gas before the price raises at midnight. I think bad luck just got me because there are at least six gas stations along the route of the bus I took yesterday. Just before I got on the bus, there was another bus with different route in front of me, but I didn't choose it. If I chose it, the way home might be shorter.

「大家都瘋了!」這句話,在昨天下班後被困在公車上時,不斷的出現在我腦海中。就因為那午夜十二點要調漲的油價,大家瘋狂排隊加油所造成的塞車,平常只需不到一個小時就可以到家的路程,竟然成了兩個小時的等待,應該不難想像我被困的心情吧!被壞運光顧就是這樣吧,明明眼前有兩班公車可選,我卻挑了那部沿路會經過六個加油站的公車。

Of course it's understandable that people would like to save some budget for their daily life, no matter how much it is. When I was chatting with my colleague this morning, he said that he was lucky to save more than one hundred and didn't need to line up for filling gas coz he already did that when he found out that the tank was empty yesterday morning. As the government anounced the news about raising price of petroleum around the late afternoon, I wondered how many people and how much did they actually save the budget just by filling gas yesterday before the midnight? Even though they all had an empty tank, for a small car, they would not save the money for more than two or three lunch-box. Maybe my brother was right as I don't have a car and I'm unable to understand, but I'm still glad to hear the news talking the bicycles are sold out soon lately, which means less and less people would like to drive cars in big city. And hoping people will appreciate more about how convenient life they own now due to this 'crazy filling gas event'.

當然,為了節省生活費的心情是可以理解的,不管是省小錢或是大錢。而今天早上才和同事小聊了一下那瘋狂加油事件,他說他很幸運,在消息宣布之前就加了油,因為昨天一大早就發現油箱空了,所以不需要跟人家排隊就當場現賺了一百多塊。我真的懷疑,到底有多少人能在午夜油價調漲之前真正有省到錢的?就算和我同事一樣是用個空油箱去加油,一般的小車,最多也只省了兩、三個便當的錢吧!也許我弟說的對,我又沒有在用車,不能體會人家的心情,但無論如何,我倒是很樂意聽到腳踏車最近賣到缺貨的新聞,那表示仍堅持在都市裡開車的人越來越少了。也希望人們真的能因為這個「瘋狂加油事件」而更加的珍惜現有的便利生活!
