问题    Another characteristic of our landscape is its exquisite moderation. It looks like the result of one of those happy compromises that make our social and political plans so irrational and yet so successful. It has been born of a compromise between wilderness and tameness, Between Nature and Man. In many countries you pass straight from regions where men have left their mark in every inch of ground to other regions that are desolate wilderness. Abroad, we have all notice how abruptly most of the cities seem to begin; here, no city; there, the city. With us the cities pre tend they are not really there until we arc well inside them. They almost insinuate themselves into the countryside. This comes from another com promise of ours, the suburb. There is a great deal to be said for the suburb. To people of moderate means, compelled to live fairly near their work in a city, the suburb offers the most civilized way of life. Nearly all Englishmen are at heart country gentlemen. The suburban villa enables the salesman or the clerk, out of hours, to be a country gentleman. A man in a man in a suburb feels that he has one foot in the city and one in the country. As this is the kind of compromise he likes, he is happy.
选项
答案    在国外，我们都注意到多数城市是猛然间出现在人们眼前的：这儿了无城市的迹象，那儿却一下子就是城市了。在这里，我们不知不觉地踏人城市，葛然回首，发现自己早已置身其中。它们像是悄悄地、不动声色地与乡村融为一体。这是我们的另一项折中的结果——郊区。郊区实在是值得好好写写，；中等收入的家庭不得不住在离工作单位很近的市区，对他们来说，郊区提供的是最文明的牛活方式。几乎所有的英国人都愿过乡村绅土般的生活，而郊区别墅式的住房使推销员或公司职员在不上班的时候能享受一下做乡村绅士的乐趣。在新郊区住的人会觉得他是一只脚在城里，一只脚在乡村。这是他喜欢的一种折中，并为此而感到高兴。
