4. 返乡日记

Diaries about rural hometowns

请看例句：

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".

今年为期一周的春节假期期间，很多人回农村老家过节，并在网上写"日记"描述返乡见闻和感想。

春节期间，网络空间中的各种"返乡日记"成为热门话题(become a sensational topic)。写"返乡日记"的人生长在农村(be born and grow up in rural areas)，现居城市。从描述家乡面貌的变化(changes taking place in their hometowns)，到感怀儿时记忆，从展示城乡之间的碰撞(urban-rural conflicts)，到担忧乡村的未来，人们以不同的笔触和形式分享着各自的返乡见闻和感想，呈现出每个人眼中与心中的城市与乡村。

部分"返乡日记"描写了农村贫困地区(poverty-stricken rural areas)的贫穷(destitution)与堕落(decadence)，引发了关于中国广大农村和数亿农民未来的忧思(trigger worries about the future of China's vast countryside and hundreds of millions of rural people)。尽管这些"日记"反映了作者的真实感受(reflect the true feelings of the writers)与个人观点(their own perspectives)，但这些"日记"无法描绘农村全貌(hardly portray a complete picture of countryside)。毕竟他们现在不在农村生活，而且中国农村地区的现状也各异(the situation in China's rural areas is very diverse)。

乡土观察(observation on the rural areas)本不是一个"时令"话题，但在舆论中的集中涌现，却与春节假期关系密切。新媒体聚焦了城乡往返者的感受，这未必是农村的真实感受。
