英语翻译
I,by comparison,living in my overpriced city apartment,walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage,paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor,I am rated middle class.This causes me to wonder,do the measurements make sense?Are we measuring only that which is easily measured — the numbers on the money chart — and ignoring values more central to the good life?
For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables,line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbors’ orchards and gardens.There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return,and neighbors who barter their skills and labor.But more than that,how do you measure serenity?Sense of self?
I don’t want to idealize life in small places.There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally,as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland.There are cruelties,there is intolerance,there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities.Furthermore,it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups—when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.”
Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities—the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight.But these are,sadly,more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us

相比之下,住在我的价格过高的城市公寓,步行街的工作过去腐烂垃圾袋,向当地缴纳税收和高利贷州政府普遍厌恶我,我额定中产阶级.这使我不禁想,做有意义的测量?我们测量只有那种容易衡量 - 图表上的钱数 - 和值更无视中央的好生活?

我也不想要贬低城市,是一个陌生人对另一个小规矩关怀爆发的机会,总是惊喜.但这些都是,可悲的是,更多的规则和例外比往往被可怕的腐败和危险,我们周围不知所措

我不想美化生活在小的地方。有些时候,外面的世界的残酷,当侵犯我国汽油价格上升或开发商把自己的眼睛在世外的农田。有残酷的,有偏狭,还有所有的许多毛病、meannesses在小的地方,在大城市的存在。此外,它是很难忽略他们当他们不能被流放到另一个城镇的心理或免除了作为最善变的外星人groups-when他们不得不被认为是“我们的一部分。”
我也不希望小看这个机会在cities-the礼仪小喷发的one-stranger-to-another关怀,总是惊喜。但是这些是例外,可悲的是,多比规则和经常被可怕的内核和危险,环绕着我们.
我直接用的有道，嘿嘿。
