City dwellers have some strange ideas about people who live in the countryside. The charm of a country life may attract suburbanites during holidays. But there are some things you’ll only know if you actually grew up in a rural area.
城市居民对农村居民有一些很奇怪的想法。假日的时候，乡村的生活对于郊区的人来说是一种吸引。但是有些事只有长在农村的孩子才知道。
1. You don’t need an alarm clock
不需要闹钟
The rooster in your backyard wakes you up every morning at the crack of dawn. It doesn’t come with a snooze button either. Some of you would argue that roosters actually have a built-in snooze button. They’ll crow approximately every 2 minutes for about 8 cycles. But you’ll have little luck sleeping in.
每天黎明时分后院的公鸡会叫醒你。没有那种可以按下的停止键。有的人可能会觉得公鸡身体内部还是有一个暂停键。它们每两分钟有8个周期。但是你却没办法睡着。
The village isn’t like the city where neighbors don’t talk to each other. Even though people don’t exactly live right next door, you take the time to get to know your neighbors really well. Well enough to know when their birthdays are.
乡村里不想城里那样邻居之间互不交谈。即使挨得不是很近，你们也会花时间好好了解。好到能够知道生日。
3. You catch up on local news at the local pub/bar
在当地酒吧能够听到当地新闻
The community is scattered over a vast expanse of land. But, come weekend, everyone loves a tipple and catches up on the latest news at the local pub. Whether it’s jobs or someone’s had a baby, you’ll get to hear it here.
社区都分散在一个很大的地方，但是，周末来临，每个人都喜欢去酒吧，在酒吧听听最新的新闻。不管是关于别人的工作还是某个人有了个孩子，你都会在那里听见。
The odds of someone breaking in are so slim that it really isn’t worth a bother trying to lock the door behind you. Your property is remote enough that anti-social elements dare not venture anywhere near it.
有人闯门的几率很小，所以不必费心的锁门。那里太远了，所以反社会因素都不敢走到那里。
