都市更新
Urban renewal — Chinese reading, HSK 5
文章
我家附近有一排四十多年的老房子，牆壁裂開，下雨還會漏水。去年建商提出都市更新的計畫，要把舊房子拆掉，蓋成二十層的新大樓。
wǒ jiā fù jìn yǒu yì pái sì shí duō nián de lǎo fáng zi qiáng bì liè kāi xià yǔ hái huì lòu shuǐ qù nián jiàn shāng tí chū dū shì gēng xīn de jì huà yào bǎ jiù fáng zi chāi diào gài chéng èr shí céng de xīn dà lóu
Near my home there's a row of houses over forty years old; the walls are cracked and they leak when it rains. Last year a developer proposed an urban renewal plan to tear them down and build a twenty-storey tower.
大部分住戶都很贊成，因為新大樓有電梯、停車場，也比較安全。但是住在一樓的陳奶奶堅決反對。她在那裡開了三十年的雜貨店，附近的老客人每天都來找她聊天。
dà bù fèn zhù hù dōu hěn zàn chéng yīn wèi xīn dà lóu yǒu diàn tī tíng chē chǎng yě bǐ jiào ān quán dàn shì zhù zài yì lóu de Chén nǎi nai jiān jué fǎn duì tā zài nà lǐ kāi le sān shí nián de zá huò diàn fù jìn de lǎo kè rén měi tiān dōu lái zhǎo tā liáo tiān
Most residents were in favour, because the new building would have lifts and parking and be safer. But Grandma Chen on the ground floor was firmly against it. She has run a grocery there for thirty years, and her regulars come to chat with her every day.
都市更新能讓城市變新，可是如何照顧到每個人的生活，恐怕比蓋大樓更難。
dū shì gēng xīn néng ràng chéng shì biàn xīn kě shì rú hé zhào gù dào měi gè rén de shēng huó kǒng pà bǐ gài dà lóu gèng nán
Urban renewal can make a city new, but looking after everyone's way of life is probably harder than putting up a tower.
