My favourite city in the world

文/兰舟酱   翻译/Peterliang

I have been to many cities before.

I can still remember the beautiful skyline and skyscraper in London. London is modern and is also a city with a long history. I like the stone architectures. They are old, historic, but also very charming. 

I can still remember the religious temples in Bangkok. I can remember tropical scenes and all those fragrant and colorful flowers. People there are very nice, they wear colorful clothes and they always smile.

I can still remember the delicious food in Singapore. Singapore is also very modern, people there are busy and they walk fast. Just like they have something very important to do. Singapore is an energetic city.

I can remember the city beach in Perth. I remember there were dark heavy clouds above the deep blue ocean. It was very windy, and the waves were also big. Brave people were surfing and swimming. 

Now, I live in Nanjing, China. Nanjing is not very beautiful. Maybe that is because I am so familiar with it. It is my one and only hometown. It is in my blood and I can never forget it. "I don't like it.", I always tell myself. One day, I will leave Nanjing forever.

I think then I will find out that Nanjing will be in my dreams. Maybe then I will finally understand that it is my favorite city in the entire world.

我曾经去过很多不同的城市。

我依稀记得伦敦的摩天大楼和美丽的天际。伦敦是一个有着悠长历史的现代都市。我喜欢那里的石头建筑群，它们老旧，富含历史韵味，非常迷人。

我依稀记得曼谷的不同宗教寺庙。那些令人难忘的热带景色和芬芳四溢色彩斑斓的花朵。那里的人们很好，经常穿着艳丽的衣服和不住地微笑。

我依稀记得新加坡不同的美食.新加坡很现代，人们经常匆匆赶路永远都那么忙碌.就像有不同的重要事情等着他们解决。新加坡是一个充盈着生气的城市。

我依稀记得佩斯那美丽的海岸线。那黑压压带着厚重云层连接着的蔚蓝海岸。风很大，浪很高，勇敢的人们带着浪板游向海洋的怀抱。

现在，我在中国的南京。南京也许没有漂亮的外表，也许只因我距离它太近，太过熟悉。这里是我的故乡，也是唯一的故乡。那是流淌在我的血液里面，无法背离。“我会找到更好的。” 我常常如此告诉自己，终有一天我将离开此地。

有一天，南京将会出现在我的梦乡里。直到那一天我才会明白,这里才是我在这个地球上，最喜爱的一个城市。
