The Changes of My Hometown
家乡的变化
My hometown is located at the outside of the city.
我的家乡坐落在城市外。
I was born and grew up there. It was a little village with natural scenery of green mountains, a beautiful river and lovely village houses. In the summer, I liked to go to picnic under the mountain and swim in the river.
我在那里出生和长大。它是一个小村庄，有着绿色的山、美丽的河还有漂亮的小屋的自然的风景。夏天里，我喜欢去山脚下野炊，到河里游泳。
But now my hometown has changes. The mountains were blown down to build the factories, and the river was polluted by the waste water from those factories. There are no more green mountains but the smoking factories. The water of the river turns black and stinks, and I can never swim in it again. The village houses are gone too, and the ugly storied houses with walls are instead.
但是现在我的家乡变了。群山被炸平用来建工厂，河水被这些工厂里的废水所污染。再也没有绿色的山，只有冒着烟的工厂。河里的水变成黑色还散发恶臭，我再也不能在里面游泳了。还有那些小屋也消失了，取而代之的是丑陋的带围墙的楼房。
I don’t like the changes of my hometown, it is a polluted hometown.
我不喜欢家乡的变化，这是一个被污染了的家乡。
