Now, while all countries have their good sides and not so good here is my list of why I think China is the most amazing place to live. The below list is not in any particular order and I’d love to hear your suggestions on why I’m wrong or any areas you think I might have left out.
我的上一封信是关于中国驾驶员如何能改善他们的驾驶习惯，文章发出后大家给的反馈和我预期的基本是一致的，所以本周我想聊另外一面：我为什么认为江苏更好！
现在，所有国家都有好和不好的方面，我罗列了一些我认为中国是一个了不起的生活居住之所的原因。下面的原因没有任何特定的顺序， 如果我说错了或任何你认为我可能会遗漏的地方，我很愿意听到你的建议。
1
Driving
Yes, I said it, driving. I know I wrote in my previous letter about how China should improve some areas of their driving habits but the one area that amazes me regarding Chinese driving it the relative lack of road rage here. I have seen drivers do some crazy things only for other motorists, cyclists, pedestrians not batting an eyelid and continuing happily on their way.
驾驶！
是的，我说的是开车。我知道我在上一封信中写到，中国驾驶员应该改善他们驾驶习惯的某些方面，但是让我感到惊讶的一面是中国司机相对的没有什么路怒。我有看到过司机对骑摩托车的人、骑自行车的人和行人做一些疯狂的事情时眼睛都不眨一下，并继续愉快地行驶。
2
Safety
I think this might be the area I love the most about China. Having lived in major cities in the West I had developed a street-wiseness that always had me on alert. However, walking anywhere/anytime around any Jiangsu city I have visited leaves me in a carefree state of alert that is completely disarming. No troubled teens hanging around street corners, no drug addicts looking for an opportunity to swipe your belongings and no alcohol-fused drunks falling out of bars and clubs looking for trouble. I also find that this is one area that Chinese people really do not understand how lucky they are in the way their government protects them.
安全
我认为这可能是我最喜欢中国的一个方面。我在很多西方主要城市居住过，也因此已经练就了“街头聪明”，让我时刻保持警惕。然而在江苏，不管何时何地，在任何一个我到过的城市，我走在路上完全不用担心，也无需戒备。你不会遇到麻烦的青少年游荡在街角、吸毒成瘾的人寻找机会窃取你的财物，也不会有醉汉从酒吧俱乐部出来找麻烦。我还发现，这是中国人并没有意识到的一点，其实他们真的是很幸运，能有政府这样的保护。
3
Open 24/7
It sometimes feels that China never sleeps. There are no such things as quiet Sunday afternoons where most shops and restaurants are closed.
每天24小时开放
有时觉得中国是个不眠之国，因为即使是在安静的星期天下午，也不会有商店和餐馆休息。
4
Massive cities within minutes of each other
Nanjing, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou and of course Shanghai all within minutes of each other on the high-speed train. Each city has so much to see and do that living in this area never gets dull.
分分钟到达其他城市
高铁大大缩短了城市之间的距离，南京、常州、无锡、苏州之间，当然还有上海，往来时间都可以分钟计时。每个城市都有很多好看的，生活在这些城市绝不会觉得沉闷。
5
Delivery (Kuaidi)
Shopping online is incredible here. While years ago it was tricky to find our home comfort foods or clothing sizes to suit foreigners needs/sizes but with the amazing Taobao & getting everything you need delivered to your door within days is now easy-peasy.
快递（Kuaidi）
在线购物真的是令人难以置信。几年前如果没有一些技巧的话，很难找到我们家乡的食物或符合我们外国人尺寸的衣服，但现在淘宝的存在让一切都很简单，几天内你就能在家门口拿到你所需要的东西。
6
Chinese hospitality
You got to hand it to the Chinese. They are extremely considerate hosts. It amazes me how helpful the average person on the street can be despite the language barrier.
中国人的好客
你得把它交给中国人，他们好客而且周到。让我赞叹的是，路上的人都那么乐于助人，尽管有着语言上的障碍。
7
Government
I could count on one hand the number of government officials I had met before I came to China. But here in China, government officials can be seen everywhere. I am most impressed by the officials at the local investment promotion bureaus of individual cities who’s aim/goal is to promote/attract and assist business in their area. Of course, the foreign affairs offices do their utmost to support and assist foreign investment too.
政府
到中国之前，我遇到的政府官员人数用一只手就可以数过来，但在中国政府官员随处可见。我对各个城市的地方投资促进局的官员印象深刻，他们的目标就是促进/吸引和帮助他们所在地区的企业。当然，外交部门也竭尽全力支持和协助外国投资。
8
Opportunities
With such a booming economy and a massive population, how could China not be a great place to be and prosper. For anyone who wants to work hard, it’s a great place to be.
机会
由于经济蓬勃，人口众多，中国想不成为一个伟大繁荣的地方都难。对于任何想要努力工作的人来说，这是一个很好的地方。
9
Fruits/nuts/vegetables
Yeah, this might be a weird one but I do believe Chinese people eat better that us in relation to eating fruit, nuts, and seeds. No wonder so many locals over the age of 50 still look like they’re in their 30’s!
水果/坚果/蔬菜
是的，你可能觉得比较奇怪，但我相信在吃水果、坚果和芝麻方面，中国人比我们做得更好。这也难怪当地许多年过五十的人看起来还像三十几岁！
