Illusions 0f pastoral peace
The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me. City born and city bred, I have always regarded the country as something you look at through a train window, or something you occasionally visit during the weekend. Most of my friends live in the city, yet they always go into raptures at the mere mention of the country. Though they extol the virtues of the peaceful life, only one of them has ever gone to live in the country and he was back in town within six months. Even he still lives under theillusion that country life is somehow superior to town 1ife. He is forever talking about the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene is only part of the Picture. My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV-virtually the only form of entertainment. He says nothing about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond me. They could be saved so much misery and expense if they chose to live in the city where they rightly belong.
If you can do without the few pastoral pleasures of the country, you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer. You never have to travel miles to see your friends. They invariably live nearby and are always available for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of my acquaintances in the country come up to town once or twice a year to visit the theatre as a special treat. For them this is a major operation which involves considerable planning. As the play draws to its close, they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home. The city dweller never experiences anxieties of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. There is so much variety that you never have to make do with as many of the exotic items as they can carry. Nor is the city without its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked away in their homes in the country. It has always been a mystery to me why city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to live in the country. 展开

幻想正月牧区和平
宁静的生活从来没有呼吁箱。城市和城市孕育出生,我一直认为,国家的东西你看看通过一列火车的窗口,或你偶尔在周末访问。我的大多数朋友住在城市,但他们总是欣喜若狂在仅仅提到的国家。虽然他们赞美的优点,和平的生活,只有

田园平静。幻想•
宁静的乡村生活从来没有吸引我。生在城市,长在城市,总认为乡村是透过火车车窗看到的那个样子,或偶尔周末去游玩一下的景象。我的大多数朋友都住在城市,但他们总是兴高采烈只要一提起乡村。尽管他们都交口称赞字根表的乡村生活的种种优点,但其中只有一人真去农村住过,而且他回到不足6个月。即使他仍然住在theillusion乡村生活优越镇生命。他滔滔不绝地大谈友好的农民,洁净的空气,贴近大自然的环境和悠闲的生活节奏。他坚持认为,凌晨雄鸡第一声啼叫,黎明时分小鸟,冉冉升起的朝阳染红树木和牧场。这种田园诗般的田园风光仅仅是。我的朋友没有提到在冬天的夜晚长和孤立无援的TV-virtually前面是唯一的娱乐形式。他没有说过这个品种货物,以及那些不幸的人们不得不从乡下到城里每天去上班。人们为什么情愿每天在路上奔波4个小时去换取值得怀疑的乡间的优点,我是无法理解的。他们可以节约大量开支,如果他们愿意住在正确的地方。
如果你能做的没有几个田园风格的乐趣的话,你会发现这个城市可以为您提供最好的生活所能提供的。你不必去旅行英里去看你的朋友。他们都住在附近,你随时可以同他们聊天或在晚上一起娱乐。我在乡村有一些熟人来镇一年两次去剧院作为一种特殊的治疗。对他们来说,这是一个重要的手术而犯愁。当那出戏吸引时,他们又为是否能赶上末班火车回家而。这个城市展览、电影、戏剧。最新的展览、电影、戏剧短乘坐公共汽车了。购物也是一种乐趣。有这么多的品种,你不必用了外来商品,直到它们可以随身携带。城市也并非没有良辰美景。有一些安慰的暖光靠广告在寒冷潮湿的冬夜里。没有什么能比这更令人印象深刻的和平的城市街道前往遗弃在周末的时候,成千上万的每天上班的人回到了他们的家园。它一直是个谜,我为什么城市居民对这一切,顽固地装出他们喜欢住在乡下。
