Mr Chen: Well, in some ways it is. It's really nice to have a beautiful modern town. However, most of my old friends have moved away. It has become impossible for us to see each other as often as before. We used to play cards
and Chinese chess together. Now I feel a bit lonely from time to time.Anyway ，it's good to see the amazing changes in the town.
陈先生：嗯，在莫忠程度是这样的。拥有一座美丽的现代化城镇的确很好。然而我的大多数老朋友都搬走了，对于我们来说再像以前那样经常互相见面是不可能了。我们过去常常一起打牌、下中国象棋。现在我时不时会觉得有点儿孤独。不管怎样，看到城镇这些令人惊叹的变化，还是不错的。
