Are there many parks or public gardens where you live (or, in your hometown)?
    The town I grew up in has many lush, green parks, both in the centre of the city and further out among residential areas. Much of my childhood was spent in various parks around the city, and I gave them all special names – the Bash Park and Super Girl Park were always my two favourites.
    在我長大的城鎮(zhèn)里有許多蔥翠的公園，在城市中心和離住宅區(qū)較遠的地方都有。我童年的大部分時間都在城市各種公園里度過，我給它們都起了特別的名字——巴什公園和超級女生公園是我一直很喜歡的兩個公園。
    Do you often (or, ever) go to a park or a (public) garden?
    Now I rarely go to the park because I do not have very much free time, but whenever I have a friend visiting me during their vacation, I make sure to take them to my favourite parks around Beijing, which include many of the famous historical sites popular among tourists.
    現(xiàn)在我很少去公園因為我沒有很多空閑時間，但是每當我朋友在他們的假期來看我時，我肯定會帶他們?nèi)ケ本┲車蚁矚g的公園，其中包括許多游客喜歡的歷史景點。

    I often notice many large groups of people dancing or exercising during the rare moments I visit or simply walk past parks and gardens. Open spaces on campuses and near apartment blocks are used in similar ways; hordes of people gather and follow aerobics classes or perform traditional dances. Depending on the time of day, spontaneous T’ai Chi classes can also be seen occurring in China’s parks and gardens.
    當我少有地參觀或者路過公園和花園時，我經(jīng)常注意到有一大群人在那跳舞或運動。在校園和附近的公寓樓的開放空間也是一樣;成群結(jié)隊的人們聚集在一起，跟著跳有氧健身課程或表演傳統(tǒng)舞蹈。根據(jù)時間，(有時)還可以在中國的公園或者花園里看到自發(fā)組織的太極拳課程。
    What do you like to do when you go to a park or a public garden?
    Whenever I go to a park nowadays, I aim to go on a nice, sunny day when it is not raining outside. I spend several hours preparing to go, by making a picnic of breads, meats, dips and fruits. Sometimes I take a flask of hot tea or coffee if it is a cold day. Then I sit outdoors with my friends, while chatting and enjoying the beautiful view.
    現(xiàn)在每當我去公園，我都會在一個外面不下雨的大晴天去。我花幾個小時的時間去準備，制作野炊的面包，肉，蘸料和水果。有時如果天氣冷的話我會帶一小瓶熱茶或者是咖啡。然后我和我朋友坐在外面,一邊聊天一邊享受美景。
    What do you think are the functions of parks and public gardens?
    I think parks are extremely functional as public spaces, which are very necessary for an active, sociable society. China’s parks enable groups of people to meet, exercise, socialize and conduct other group activities. A prosperous people are a social people – without parks and free, open public spaces in which to gather, I believe the Chinese people would not be nearly so sociable, happy and successful.
    我認為公園作為公共空間是極其有用的，它對于一個活躍的社交的社會是非常必要的。中國的公園使不同的人聚集在一起，鍛煉，參加社交活動并且組織其他的團隊活 動。成功的人是愛社交的人---沒有可以聚會的公園和免費開放的公共場所的話，我相信中國人不會這么善于交際，快樂和成功。
