听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是，你喜欢住在大城市，还是小城市呢？在我看来，它们。大城市有很多精彩的活动，也非常的包容。包容的意思就是，大城市能理解各种各样的人。相对来说，小城市就没有那么包容。因为小城市甚至乡村居住的人们见识比较少。而大城市的人们见多识广，如果你有比较小众的爱好，大城市的人见怪不怪，小城市的人可能会对你另眼相看呢。

大城市的压力也比较大。相比小城市，人们更难在大城市生存，因为生活水平高，消费也贵。在中国的大城市比如北京、上海和广州，消费可以非常的高，而收入却有高有低。为了生存，人们必须有很强的赚钱能力。小城市就比较安逸了，消费不高，生活节奏不快，人也随和。

你喜欢大城市还是小城市呢？欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

塞翁失马

Harriet Rich moved to Valladolid, Mexico from the US, when she retired, about 15 years ago. I stayed at the Airbnb she has there, in 2023. It feels like a blessing to say we’ve been friends ever since. 

These days, we’re playing around with podcasting. Here we are, talking about writing and publishing and more!
