陆老师，区里公布了晴川里的规划，大部分房子要拆除，只留下临街的第一排，改成社区文化中心。您在报纸上写的那篇文章，好像起了作用。您看到规划的时候是什么心情？
Lù lǎoshī, qū li gōngbù le Qíngchuān Lǐ de guīhuà, dàbùfen fángzi yào chāichú, zhǐ liúxià línjiē de dì-yī pái, gǎichéng shèqū wénhuà zhōngxīn. Nín zài bàozhǐ shang xiě de nà piān wénzhāng, hǎoxiàng qǐ le zuòyòng. Nín kàndào guīhuà de shíhou shì shénme xīnqíng?
Ms. Lu, the district has published the plan for Qingchuan Lane: most of the houses will be demolished, and only the first row, facing the street, will be kept and turned into a community cultural center. The article you wrote in the newspaper seems to have had an effect. How did you feel when you saw the plan?

起没起作用很难说，可是能留下一排，总比全拆了好。在我看来，留下来的房子，有利于后人了解这座城市是怎么长大的。不过只留一排，也势必会变成一个漂亮的空壳。
Qǐ méi qǐ zuòyòng hěn nán shuō, kěshì néng liúxià yì pái, zǒngbǐ quán chāi le hǎo. Zài wǒ kànlái, liúxià lai de fángzi, yǒulìyú hòurén liǎojiě zhè zuò chéngshì shì zěnme zhǎngdà de. Búguò zhǐ liú yì pái, yě shìbì huì biànchéng yí ge piàoliang de kōngké.
Whether it had an effect is hard to say, but keeping one row is better than tearing it all down. As I see it, the houses that remain will help those who come after understand how this city grew up. But keeping only one row is bound to turn it into a pretty empty shell.
