saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from
the dirt and noise of a large city. If it weren’t for
my job I would immediately move out for the open spaces and go back to nature.
Cities can be
frightening places. The majority of the population live in many tower blocks,
noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to
disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is
sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous as they
are shut up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated(孤立的)from the rest of the world.
Strangely enough, in the past the residents(居民)of one
street all knew each other, but nowadays people on the same floor in tower
blocks don’t even say hello to each other.
Country life,
on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense
of community generally binds the residents of small villages together.
People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to
when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true
that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut
off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a
new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for
anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go a long way to the nearest
large town. The city people who leave for the country often can’t bear the stillness and quiet there.
What, then, is the answer? The
country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage
of being cut off; the city gives people a feeling of isolation, and constant
noise can nearly drive you mad. But one of its main advantages is that you are
at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found
a compromise (折衷) between the two: leave cities and
move to villages within commuting (乘车往返) distance of
large cities. It sounds great!
