The Chinese word 加油站 (jiāyóuzhàn) for "gas station" is a compound of two characters: 加油 (jiāyóu) and 站 (zhàn). 加油 literally means "add oil", which refers to the action of refueling a vehicle. 站 means "station" or "stop". So, 加油站 literally means "a place where you add oil (to your vehicle)".The term 加油站 is relatively new in Chinese. Before the introduction of automobiles, people used to travel by foot, horse, or boat. There was no need for gas stations. The term 加油站 only came into use after the introduction of automobiles in the early 20th century.加油站 is a common word in modern Chinese. It is used by people of all ages and backgrounds. It is also used in official documents and media reports.
