        大家好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，今天的台词出自电影《后来的我们》。如果你在大城市上大学，毕业了以后，你会离开那儿吗？我们来听听电影中林见清是怎么说的：

        “毕了业，谁愿意离开北京？每次路过天安门的时候我就在想，所有最好最神奇的事情都会在这里发生。
        我明白北京不是我的家，我宁可拥抱现实中的无家可归，也不想放弃搏一把的机会。都说这儿的生活艰难，但我不怕，至少我在北京混过。
       北京的一天真的很短，短到还没有开始就结束了，所以每天早上一睁眼，我就觉得我离梦想又进了一步。”
——林见清  电影《后来的我们》/<Us and Them>
