生活在城市的人，时常会抱怨，吃的是喷了农药的蔬菜，喝的是撒了漂白粉的水，住的是鸽子笼，吸的是汽车尾气，出了门不是挤车挤死，就是堵车堵死，这日子还让不让人活了？要不我们一起逃离大都市，向广阔的农村前进吧！

哎我们还不如农民自己承包一块地种种比城市悠闲舒适多了每天呼吸新鲜空气金灿灿的油菜花免费看路上也没那么多车两旁是绿油油的庄稼真是赏心悦目自己盖一栋小楼还有大院子比别墅还别墅

Agh, we're not as lucky as the peasants! Maintaining a plot of land yourself is so much more carefree and comfortable than life in the city. You can breathe fresh air and look at the beautiful golden canolas for free! There aren't many cars on the road and bright green fields on either side. It's really pleasant to imagine. You can build a small house for yourself, plus a big courtyard. It's even more lovely than a villa!
想得美你是不是去过几次农家乐就以为全国农民都很悠闲自在典型的农民守着一亩三分地面朝黄土背朝天你吹空调吃冰激凌的时候他们还在烈日下除草施肥呢

That's wishful thinking! Is it because you've been on a few "Happy Peasant Household" tours that you think all peasant life is so carefree and relaxing? The typical peasant is resigned to his plot of land and toils over it with his back to the sky. While you're eating ice cream with the air conditioning on, they're weeding and spreading fertilizer under the hot sun!
