Does everyone think old buildings are important?
No, not everyone. Some of us might think these buildings are shabby. Usually they are not well-quipped and the design is always outdated. That’s why many people living close to Nanjing Rd. in Shanghai always hope government can implement house demolition in that region. You know, they are currently living in very old buildings, having to share restrooms and kitchens with others. Many of them choose to move out and rent out these old buildings to those from rural areas.
每个人都认为老建筑是重要的吗？
不，不是每个人。我们中的一些人可能会认为这些建筑都是破旧的。通常他们调侃道这些老建筑都是过时的设计。这就是为什么很多人住在上海的南京路上却总是希望政府能在该地区实施房屋拆迁。要知道，他们生活在非常古老的建筑里，不得不和别人共用洗手间和厨房。所以他们中的许多人选择搬出来和出租这些旧建筑给那些来自农村地区的人。
