自由生活的权利,比什么都重要

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 my 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 paidjob.
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
它们让我变得更坚强了
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
也并不容易
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
