我的乡村
MY NATIVE VILLAGE

My native village is in the western suburb of Hang Chow, a city famous for its beautiful scenery. There is a little stream around the village. On the banks of the stream, grow rows of willows. At a little distance from the north, there rises, a hill which is called the T Hill, on which there are wonderful trees and green grass. This is the natural scenery of my native place.

My native place has a population of more than two thousand people, the majority of whom than two thousand people, the majority of whom are farmers and some of whom are merchants and labourers, all being diligent and thrifty.

There are bridges and ferryboats for communication with other villages. All of the streets are well paved and clean.

During spring, summer, and atutumn, all farmers of our village are busily plowing and irrigating their fields. In the winter, when the weather becomes cold and the work in the field has been finished, they gather in the tea house, sitting beside the fireplace, gossiping and chatting.

The mode of their living is simple. They have no automobiles, and they have no costly food for their meals. They observe ancient custom and habits. They are a little conservative, but they are happy.

我的故乡在杭州的西部，杭州是以美丽风景而著名的城市，有一道小河环绕我们乡村，河的两岸各种有一列杨柳，由北稍远处，有一座山，称为T山，山上生有美树绿草，这便是我的故乡的自然景色。

我的故乡有人口两千以上，大部分人是农夫，有些是商人与劳工，都很勤俭.

有些桥和渡船，使本乡与外乡交通。所有的街道都铺平得好而且整齐。

当春、夏、秋季中，我们村中所有的农夫便忙于犁田、灌溉，到了冬天，天气冷了，在田中工作也完成了，他们便聚集在茶馆中，坐在火炉旁边，闲谈聊天.

他们的生活方式是简单的。没有汽车，也吃得俭省。他们遵守古风俗与习惯。他们稍为守旧，但他们却是快乐的。
