上海无疑是中国最大的城市然而上海虽然大却不粗
Shànghǎi 上海wúyí 无疑shì 是Zhōngguó 中国zuì dà 最大de 的chéngshì 城市ránér 然而Shànghǎi 上海suīrán 虽然dà 大què 却bù 不cū 粗
There's no doubt that Shanghai is the biggest city in China. But even though it's big, it's not crude.
在上海无论你是站在摩天大楼下还是走在里弄中都不会有粗的感觉
zài 在Shànghǎi 上海wúlùn 无论nǐ 你shì 是zhàn zài 站在mótiāndàlóu 摩天大楼xià 下hái shì 还是zǒu 走zài 在lǐlòng 里弄zhōng 中dōu 都bùhuì 不会yǒu 有cū 粗de 的gǎnjué 感觉
In Shanghai, no matter whether you're standing under a skyscraper or walking through a narrow lane, you'll never feel that the place is ``crude."
因为上海是按照工业文明最雅致时代的理想模式打造出来的所以上海是中国最雅致的城市
yīnwèi 因为Shànghǎi 上海shì 是ànzhào 按照gōngyè wénmíng 工业文明zuì 最yǎzhì 雅致shídài 时代de 的lǐxiǎng 理想móshì 模式dǎzào 打造chūlái 出来de 的suǒyǐ 所以Shànghǎi 上海shì 是Zhōngguó 中国zuì 最yǎzhì 雅致de 的chéngshì 城市
That's because Shanghai was built on the ideals of the most elegant era of industrial civilization. So, Shanghai is the most refined city in China.
不要以为这份雅致只属于资产阶级它也是那些住在弄堂里睡在亭子间干干净净小木床上的女孩子们的做派
bùyào 不要yǐwéi 以为zhè 这fèn 份yǎzhì 雅致zhǐ 只shǔyú 属于zīchǎn jiējí 资产阶级tā 它yě shì 也是nàxiē 那些zhùzài 住在lòngtáng 弄堂lǐ 里shuì 睡zài 在tíngzijiān 亭子间gāngānjìngjìng 干干净净xiǎo 小mùchuáng 木床shàng 上de 的nǚháizi men 女孩子们de 的zuòpài 做派
Don't go thinking that this elegance is just for the ``bourgeoisie." It's also a way of life for the girls who live in the lanes and sleep on tiny, immaculate little wooden beds in the garrets.
