城市的發展 The Development of City

Now, the degree of urbanization has been deepening and we enjoy the convenience brought by urbanization. How does everybody know how the cities began? Long time ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from place to place, hunting animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed greatly. One thing is certain that they gathered in the rich place or near water. In that age, water and climate are the most important to lives. It is the rich water and comfortable climate that gathered people from different places. They began to live near one another, so that the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages. Then the villages became bigger and machines were invented, life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. There were a growing number of people living near factories. Because of the increasing people, more and more buildings were built. And then cities were built.

現在，城市化的程度已經加深，我們享受着城市化帶來的方便。每個人是怎麼知道城市是怎樣開始的呢？很久以前，世界上只有幾千人。這些人從一個地方到另一個地方，以狩獵動物爲食。沒有人知道這些人是怎樣以及何時學會種植食物的。但是，當他們真正做到的時候，他們的生活發生了很大的變化。有一件可以確定的事就是他們聚集在肥沃或者近水的地方。在那個時代，水和氣候對生命是最重要的。豐富的水和舒適的氣候把來自不同地方的人們聚到一起。他們開始彼此住的很近，因而第一個村莊誕生了。很多人來到村莊工作，接着村莊變得越來越大。當發明了機器的時候，村莊的生活再一次發生了變化，建立起了工廠。越來越多的人居住在工廠附近。由於人口增長，越來越多的建築被建立起來，接着就建立起了城市。
