咁 啦， 除咗 update 飯 金金 嘅 情況 呢，

咁 今日 都 想 同 大家 講 一個 題目 嘅。 Then today, I would like to talk about a topic.

咁 呢，關於 你 鍾意 住 喺 大城市 big city Well, if you're interested in living in a big city, then you're not going to be in a big city, but you're going to be in a big city.

定係 鍾意 住 喺 一啲 鄉郊 嘅 地方 啦。

一啲 rural areas

鄉郊 地方 或者 鄉郊 地區

鍾意 大城市 定係 住 喺 一 啲 鄉郊 呀，

或者 another way to say 鄉邨

咁 我 自己 啦， 就 喺 香港 出世，

喺 香港 長大，

我 一直 都 係 住 喺 大城市 㗎 喇。

香港 就 好多 人 呀。

交通 各樣 好 方便 Traffic All kinds of good and convenient

去邊 一度 呢， 就 搭 地鐵 呀， Go to the side once and take the subway

搭 一啲 公共 交通工具, public transport.

公共 交通工具

去 邊度 都 好容易 好快 嘅 。

咁 呀，離 咗 美國 啦。 So, we have left the United States.

咁 我 住 嘅 地方

唔 係 一個 真係 好 大 嘅 城市 Not a really big city

但係 其實 啦，

如果 只要 你 識 揸車 If, if you know how to drive a car.

其實 去 好多 地方 都。。。唔，都 方便 嘅。 In fact, there are many places to go. Well, they are convenient.

要 去 買嘢 呀。

要 去 食 嘢 呀，

唔， 買 唔同 嘅 日用品, daily necessities . Don't buy the same daily necessities

或者 去 睇 戲 呀

去 戲院 , cinemas.

如果 你 識 揸車 If you know how to drive.

其實 就 都 好好 啦.

係呀，當然 如果 你 唔 識 揸車 嘅 話，

咁 就 比較 麻煩 啲 Then it is more annoying

大城市 就 係 你 去邊一度 落街, 跳 上車 . The big city is where you go down the street and jump in the car.

咁 就 可以 去 到 你 一個 地方 Then we can go to your place.

咁，但係 雖然 喺 香港 生活 啦 , 好 方便 . But it is convenient to live in Hong Kong.

但係 其實 我 就 都 好 鍾意 住 喺 一啲 比較 鄉邨 啲 嘅 地方 嘅。 But in fact, I like to live in places that are more rural.

咁 唔係 因為 我 鍾意 揸車 . It's not because I like to drive.

其實 我 到 而家 都 未 有 車牌 . Actually, I didn't even have a license plate when I got home.

咁，但係 呢， 我 就 唔 鍾意 咁 人 多 嘅 地方 喎. Well, I don't like such a crowded place.

同埋 唔 鍾意 咁 嘈雜 嘅 地方

嘈雜 或者 嘈吵, noisy. Noisy, noisy.

我 唔 鍾意 咁 嘈雜 嘅 地方

我 鍾意 比較 靜 啲 嘅 環境 I prefer a quieter environment

咁 同埋 喺 香港 得 呢啲 大城市 啦 Then the same in Hong Kong to the big cities

住 嘅 地方 呢， 好細 好 窄 The place where we live is so small and narrow.

窄 係 narrow 好 窄 呀。

咁 呀， 住 嘅 環境 生活， 環境 呢， 一定 呢， 冇 咁 好 So, the environment in which we live, the living environment, must be so, not so good!

咁 呀，喺 呢 一度 呢， 我 雖然 一個人 住

咁 但係 地方 就 好 大 喇， 咁 樣 呢。 But then, it is a big place, so big it is.

有 兩個 房 啦 , 兩個 廳 呀

有 一個 開放式 廚房, Open kitchen 咁樣。

咁 呀，非常之 好 嘅 一個 So, it's very good One

我 自己 覺得 好好 嘅 居住 環境 啦 I think I have a good living environment.

但 如果 喺 香港 呢 個 價錢 However, if the price in Hong Kong

去 租 香港 嘅 一個 單位 , 一個 apartment 一個 flat ,

就 只 可以 租到 呢， 我哋 所謂 嘅 劏房 They can only rent what we call sub-divided units.

一個 劏房 啫 即係 一個, small single room 咁 樣 .

係 一個 好細 一個 嘅 可能 百幾 呎 It's a small one, maybe a hundred feet or so.

100 square feet 百幾 呎

## 或者 一個 二百 幾 呎 嘅 一個 劏房 咁樣

但係 我 呢 一度 呢， 比 香港 平 嘅 租金 But in my case, the rent was lower than that of Hong Kong.

但係 就 差唔多 有 八百 幾 呎 But it's almost 800 square feet.

九百 呎 嘅 地方

咁 我 就 鍾意 住 係 一啲 鄉郊 嘅 地方 啦。 Then I would like to live in some rural areas.

咁 呀，好 快 呢， 我 就 可以 It's so fast, I can do it.

揸 車 周圍 去

我 就 覺得 好 興奮 呀,

因為 當識 揸車 嘅 時候 呢 It is because when you know how to drive a car

周圍 去 買嘢 呀, 食嘢 呀 , Go around and buy and eat.

去 睇戲 呀，咁 都 可以 好 方便 . To go to the movies, so can be so convenient

乜 當然 啊 What? Of course!

乜 大城市 啦 選擇 What? Big city? Choose?

choices 選擇 就 有 好多 啦

最 令 我 懷念 嘅 , miss, 懷念 , What I miss the most , miss, miss.

就係 香港 呢 有 好多 唔 同 類型 嘅 餐廳 , different types of restaurants, different types of cuisines.

咁 有 好多 唔同 嘅 餐廳 啦

唔同 嘅 菜式

咁 我 食 乜嘢 嘢 都 可以 好 方便

但係 住 係 一啲 鄉郊 地方

譬如 我 呢 一度 啦

咁 都 有 餐廳

但係 選擇 唔係 話 真係 咁 多 But the choice is not really so much

真係 多 嘅 係 一啲 美式 嘅 快餐 , American style fast food shops. It's a lot of American fast food

美式 嘅 快餐店 多 啦

但係 你 話 好似 香港 咁

可以 食到 唔同 國家 嘅 菜式 啦， You can enjoy dishes from different countries.

呢 一度 啦 都 有啲 亞洲 餐廳

但係 就 唔係 有 太 多 嘅 選擇 啦 咁樣。 But there are not too many choices.

香港 真係 美食 天堂 Hong Kong True Gourmet Paradise

美食 天堂 , Food paradise .

美食 天堂

呢 樣 嘢 係 What is it?

我 係 好 掛住 香港 嘅 一個 地方 , miss Hong Kong so much on that point.

呢 一點 係 非常 掛住 香港 This point is very much linked to Hong Kong.

就 係 嗰 啲 美食 呀

唔同 地方 嘅 嘢食 啦

同埋 餐廳 . 係 啦 .

但係 總括 而言 , overall speaking, But, overall speaking, I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

總括 嚟 講 喇, or to conclude,

我 都 係 鍾意 一啲

比較 鄉郊 嘅 地方 More rural areas

少人 啲 啦

地方 大啲 啦

呢 一度 我 住 嘅 地方 呢 This is where I lived at one time

周圍 都 好多 公園 呀 The surrounding area is full of parks

一啲 好 大 嘅 草地 , grassland park

好多 草地 啦

好多 公園 , 特別 係 夏天 嘅 時候 呢

公園 都 好多 人 會 去 聚集 , 去 玩 呀 A lot of people go to the park, for fun.

咁 喺 香港 都 有 啲 公園 嘅 There are some parks in Hong Kong

但係 就 當然 細 好多 囉 But, of course, it's much smaller.

唔，各有各好 啦 Well, to each his own

大城市 都 有 大城市 好 嘅 Big cities have big cities that are good

有 大城市 嘅 方便

就 係 咁 啦
