1.Translate the following sentences into Chinese.1.偶爾從寂靜中開來一輛汽車，在閃爍的交通燈下輕巧地駛過。

2.他們不遺余力地讓城里人想象自己現在住的地方決不是城市：在較為現代化的城郊鋪上幾塊草坪，在更為富裕的遠郊，草坪的面積更大。

3.即使城市居民在他們郊區的家外面能知道有時天氣熱了，有時天氣冷了，但僅憑他們的后院的草坪或幾棵半死不活的小樹，他們是無法知道季節更迭的真正節奏的。

4.城里人日復一日地生活在非現實之中，自命不凡，舉止愚蠢，他們即使在趕路時也是步履沉重，他們從不仰視他們的建筑，更不會仰望天空。恰恰是這種生活使他們帶者傲慢的神情蔑視和譏諷 供養他們的鄉下人的有益且有回報的生活。

如果我們超越一點來研究這個問題，就象我們們遠距離地審視整個國家一樣，我們對到底 是什么到大城市來這個問題就會有一點眉目了。大城市值得注意的主要一點就是“大”：人多，發生的事情也多。如果你真正從一個很遠的距離。如夜晚航行的飛機上，俯視一座城市，你會被眼前難以置信的明亮所打動：那么多的燈光，以至于你會情不自禁地以為五彩繽紛的生活就在下面向你招手。然而，一旦你落地，失望之情便會油然而生，因為當你驅車從機場駛入市中心說，你會意識到光明不過是綿延幾英里的路燈和虹招牌。他們本身并非是快樂與幸福的源泉。城市之光并不友善，僅僅只是燈光而已。事實上，其效果或許還讓你感到孤獨和寂寞。
