应该是西方的某牛人写的一个乡村和城市的粗略比较。读来朗朗上口,颇有诗歌的味道呢,一起来欣赏!
In cities, there are skyscrapers.
In the country, there are huts and bungalow;
In cities, you see hard things everywhere: steel concrete, machines, hearts.
In the country, you see soft things everywhere: mud, grass, leaves.
In cities, you possess black water, foggy air, eyeblinding window glass, noises from car and factories,carefully bred flowers, disco, rock and metal music,karaoke, cafe, pc room.
In the country, you possess wheat, rice, wild flowers, dogs, cats, pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, birds.
In cities, you never know your neighbors's names.
In the country, they know people almost from the whole township.
In cities, you always keep the doors closed, even when you are home.
In the country, they usually keep their doors open, even when they are out.
In cities, you eat a lot of McDonal and KFC, raising your weight but making you weak.
In the country, they eat rice wheat and vegetable, keeping themselves thin but not weak.
In cities, you visit relatives and friends by making a phone call.
In the country, they go and see theirs.
In cities, you rush to work early and back home early too.
In the country, you stroll to work late and back home late too.
In cities, you get your pay on the 8th day of each month.
In the country, they have no regular pay.
In cities, you must smile at someone you hate.
In the country, they shout at someone they hate.
In cities, you kill your leisure time by singing, dancing, touring,reading, watching, playing games and majiang.
In the country, they kill their time by playing majiang and sleeping.
In cities, you envy the beautiful and quiet life in the country.
In the country, they envy the prosperous and colorful life in cities.
