La tortuga Simona 🐢

La mia città è una città speciale, unica al mondo, ma anche molto simile a tutte le altre. Si trova nel nord-est della penisola italiana, sul Mare Adriatico. Si chiama Venezia. Ci sei mai stato/a?
Venezia è una città molto, molto antica. Ancora oggi possiamo camminare tra i palazzi d’epoca, visitare le chiese medievali, andare a vedere le opere d’arte nei musei. Per questo motivo ci sono sempre tanti turisti, d’estate e d’inverno, in primavera e in autunno.
In tutte le altre città del mondo ci sono strade asfaltate e macchine, autobus e tram. A Venezia, invece, ci sono i canali: i canali sono dei corsi d’acqua salata. Invece delle macchine, ci sono le barche.
Nelle città normali le persone camminano sui marciapiedi; a Venezia camminiamo sui ponti.
Per andare al lavoro o a scuola andiamo alla fermata ad aspettare il vaporetto. I vaporetti sono autobus sull’acqua.
Nonostante tutto questo, Venezia è una città come le altre: c’è un ospedale, ci sono le università e le scuole. Ci sono i supermercati, i mercati e i negozi di alimentari. Ci sono due cinema dove possiamo guardare i film con gli amici e tanti ristoranti dove mangiare cibo delizioso.
C’è anche un famoso festival del cinema e un celebre festival d’arte e architettura.
Viviamo in belle case antiche e trascorriamo le giornate come le persone di tutte le città del mondo: lavoriamo o studiamo, andiamo in palestra o a fare yoga, passeggiamo o andiamo al bar con gli amici.
Ci sono solo due parchi pubblici, purtroppo un po’ piccoli, perché a Venezia non c’è spazio per costruirne di più grandi. Ma non importa, perché alcune delle altre isole della laguna sono immerse nel verde.

男：有一位在中国的外国博主的视频，最近得到了外交部的点赞。
外交部：很高兴看到外国朋友们在中国享受美景、美食，亲身感受生动真实的中国。
男：就是那位带着一家老小在中国那个"啊，city不city啊？好city啊"。人家博主回应了，说这个city就是城市化的意思。
女：唉呦，人家是真的挺了解的。
男：对中国是真正的了解。我们来看一下数据。国家移民管理局今天发布了一个数据，今年上半年全国各口岸入境外国人1463.5万人次，同比增长152.7%。
女：其中通过免签入境的是854.2万人次，同比增长190.1%，预计今年下半年外国人来华的热度将持续地升温。
男：唉，你看就这个"city不city"这个用法啊，这就很中西合璧。以前咱们老说叫中式英语（Chinglish），现在你这个这叫什么呢？英式汉语。我觉得这种用法本身就是两种文化碰撞的一种火花了。
女：并且我也在想外国博主的city梗在咱们中国网友这圈里玩得也挺火的，还真的有一种地球村的村民常来常往，我到你们家做客，来，咱们拉拉家常这种热闹劲儿。
男：而且最近大家也都看到新闻了，说现在你只要在这个国外的视频平台上挂上中国旅行的关键词就能收获大量的观看。说明啥？说明大伙儿都想看看中国。
女：特别是来了吧，都说好，来了还想来。说明的的确确值得来啊。
男：咱们出国之前其实经常也会在短视频上搜索攻略，那外国朋友来之前你想他也得是一样的想法吧。
女：那肯定。
男：所以我觉得我们的文化是那么不同，但是我们又是那么相同。
