深圳市

以中國大陸的城市來説，到處都有很大的改變，其中以深圳市的為最驚人。深圳的人口三十年前是三十萬人，現在是一千萬人。不但有許多工廠，而且有中國第三大的港口，也可以說是大陸南方的貿易跟科技中心。在政治的經濟自由化跟中國人的主動參與下，深圳從一個由漁業生活的城市成爲亞洲最熱鬧的城市之一。滿街都是購物中心或是高級公寓大樓。西方的報導，像華爾街日報；跟新聞週刊，像經濟學人，都以深圳為大陸經濟發展的代表。因爲居民一年比一年更多，所以路常常施工讓人頭痛，尤其是尖峰時段的通勤。深圳離香港很近，在地理上過去有許多小山，現在是平的。我認爲十年以後深圳的建物會更稠密。

Shenzhen

All the cities in China are changing, and Shenzhen is the most surprising among them. Thirty years ago, its population was 300,000; now it is 10,000,000. Not only are there many factories; it is also the country’s third largest port and a financial and technological center of southern China. Thanks to the government’s economic liberalization and the people’s hard work, Shenzhen has changed from a fishing village to one of Asia’s liveliest cities. The streets are full of department stores and high-rise apartments. Western newspapers like the Wall Street Journal and magazines like the Economist have made Shenzhen a symbol of Chinese development. Since there are more residents every year, construction is a great annoyance, especially in rush hour traffic. The city is very close to Hong Kong, and it used to be covered with small hills, but the landscape has since been flattened. Ten years from now, Shenzhen’s skyline should be even more dense with buildings.
