4. 返鄉日記

Diaries about rural hometowns

請看例句：

During this Spring Festival, many people went back to their rural hometowns for the weeklong holiday and described what they saw and felt in online "diaries".

今年為期一周的春節假期期間，很多人回農村老家過節，并在網上寫"日記"描述返鄉見聞和感想。

春節期間，網絡空間中的各種"返鄉日記"成為熱門話題(become a sensational topic)。寫"返鄉日記"的人生長在農村(be born and grow up in rural areas)，現居城市。從描述家鄉面貌的變化(changes taking place in their hometowns)，到感懷兒時記憶，從展示城鄉之間的碰撞(urban-rural conflicts)，到擔憂鄉村的未來，人們以不同的筆觸和形式分享著各自的返鄉見聞和感想，呈現出每個人眼中與心中的城市與鄉村。

部分"返鄉日記"描寫了農村貧困地區(poverty-stricken rural areas)的貧窮(destitution)與墮落(decadence)，引發了關于中國廣大農村和數億農民未來的憂思(trigger worries about the future of China's vast countryside and hundreds of millions of rural people)。盡管這些"日記"反映了作者的真實感受(reflect the true feelings of the writers)與個人觀點(their own perspectives)，但這些"日記"無法描繪農村全貌(hardly portray a complete picture of countryside)。畢竟他們現在不在農村生活，而且中國農村地區的現狀也各異(the situation in China's rural areas is very diverse)。

鄉土觀察(observation on the rural areas)本不是一個"時令"話題，但在輿論中的集中涌現，卻與春節假期關系密切。新媒體聚焦了城鄉往返者的感受，這未必是農村的真實感受。
