Urbanization is accelerating and now more than half the population lives in cities. Big cities are extremely favorable for modern workforce, especially for college graduates. Glamorous as metropolitan life seems, its opportunities also coexist with unexpected challenges.
Most of the population who flood in big cities pursue better salary, health care and education. However, most of these so-called advanced resources are already occupied by first-comers. Job market is shrinking, hospitals are filled with queuing patients and parents are striving for “school district housing”. Even some people do find a satisfactory job, few of them have time for three meals a day and enough sleep, let alone personal interests. It is true that metropolitan workers can earn a decent salary, but it is also true that they are faced with massive pressure.
All in all, we must admit that living in big cities is not only exhausting but also stressful. This type of lifestyle consumes us a lot of energy to fit in but we may love it once we adapt. After all, people are much more likely to realize their personal value in big cities.
参考译文
城市化进程正在加速，现在超过半数的人都住在城市里。大城市特别吸引现代劳动力，尤其是大学毕业生。大城市的生活看起来也许很光鲜，但机遇也与意料之外的挑战共存。
大部分涌入大城市的人是为了追求高薪、高质量的医疗和教育。然而，这些所谓更佳的资源已经被先到者而占满了。就业市场正在缩水，医院里病人排起长龙，家长们对“学区房”抢得头破血流。即使有些人确实找到了满意的工作，但也没多少人有时间一日吃三餐、有充足的睡眠，更不要说发展个人兴趣了。在大城市工作的人的确会拿到不错的薪水，但他们也面临着巨大的压力。
总的来说，我们必须承认生活在大城市里不仅累而且压力大。这种生活方式需要我们投入大量的精力去适应，但一旦适应以后，我们或许会很热爱这种生活。毕竟，人们在大城市里更有可能实现个人价值。
