It's not easy to live and work in a big city, 'cause the competition is so fierce and you can barely balance your job and your life. 在大城市生活并不容易，因为竞争非常激烈，你几乎没有办法平衡工作与生活。 It's not easy to live in a small city, 'cause everyone around you will think they have a say in how you live and you're basically living your life for others. 在小城市生活也不容易，因为你身边的每个人都觉得他们在你的生活中有话语权，而你基本是在为别人而活。 I live in one of the busiest city in the world and I just had a dinner with a former classmate several days ago. 我住在全球最繁忙的城市之一，几天前我刚刚和以前的同班同学吃了饭。 She gave up. And she had decided to go back home. 她放弃了。她决定要回老家。 "Sad." I thought. But I didn't stop her, because it was her own choice. “悲哀啊。”我当时想。不过我没有阻止她，因为这是她自己的选择。 I, on the other hand, have a well paid job. So my life is quite good in my point of view. 而我，有一份薪水不错的工作。所以在我看来，我的生活还挺好的。 But I, too, had my tough days in the first few years after I came here. 不过，我曾经也一样，在刚来这座城市的那几年也曾过着艰辛的日子。 And even now, sometimes I got overwhelmed by the workload. 而即使现在，有时候我也觉得被工作压得喘不过气来。 But I conquered them. And they made me stronger. 但我战胜了它们。而且，它们让我变得更强了。 I know it's hard to live in such a big city. 我知道在大城市生活不容易。 And I know it's also hard to live in a small city like my hometown, just in a different way. 我也知道在一个像我家乡一样的小城市里生活并不容易，只是不容易的方式不同。 But I chose here because it has the very thing that I cherish the most: the freedom to live my own life. 但我选择了这里，因为这里有我最珍视的东西：过自己生活的自由。 (责任编辑：admin) |
