Changes in Life
What are you thinking about?
You look so pensive.
I was just thinking about how much things have changed since I was a child.
Oh, sometimes I think about that too.
What were your thoughts?
Nostalgic for sure.(念旧的，怀旧的)
Generally, I remember the best time, and then I get a bit depressed when I think about how things have changed.
To be nostalgic means ...to think about and miss past experiences.
I was just thinking about how much things have changed since I was a child.
What kind of changes depressed you?
Well, one thing is the paced of life.
Every thing is so fast pace now, so there isn't enough time to think.
That's because you've grown up.
You not a child anymore, so you have responsibilities.
What were your thoughts?
Oh, sometimes I think about that too.
It's more than just thinking responsibilities.
My parents had to work, but they also had time for other things.
My dad used to go fishing on the weekends, and my mom used to work in her garden.
She loved to grow flowers and vegetables.
Yeah, that does sound nice.
Living in the city makes things like that really difficult.

Yes, living in the city, certainly, part of the problem, right?
Well, that depends on you.
You make things sound as if you have no choices in life.
It's the choices you've made that put you where you are now.
Sure, that's certainly part of the problem.
I guess i've changed.
You make things sound as if you have no choices in life.
Well, that depends on you.
Living in the city makes things like that really difficult.
You want a life style that you can't have in the city.
if you really wanted those things, you could move back to the countryside.
No, that's not an option.
If I did that my wife will divorce me.
Have you ever talked about it with her?
No, I haven't.
We don't talk about things like that.
we were both too busy.
I think she's even busier than I am.
Well, maybe she would surprise you.
Maybe she'd like a change too.
You should talk to her.
En, I don't know.
Well, maybe she would surprise you.
Maybe she'd like a change too.
Have you ever talked about it with her?
What about with you?
I'm Ok.
My wife and I accepted things as they are.
We try to think positively and we support each other.
It sounds like you have a good marriage.
Yes, we do.
And one reason for that is we share our thoughts with each other.
We don't want to grow apart like so many couples.
Maybe I'll surprise my wife in such sharing my thoughts with her.
Well if you don't do it now, nothing is going to change.
Yes, you probably right.
I'll think about it.
