Cities can be loud and crowded. You can hear horns beeping and garbage trucks passing by. You hear people talking and babies crying on the bus. At night, there are lights everywhere—from cars, stores, restaurants, and apartments. Do you ever just want to leave?

If you are seeking peace and quiet, you can find it easily. Why not pack a picnic and take a hike through the woods? If you are close to a beach, why not take off your shoes and walk in the sand? Nature can be found in city environments, too. Most cities have parks with grass, trees, and flowers. You can even bring a book to read on a park bench.

Even if you are very busy, take time to stop and smell the roses. Nature is here for us all to enjoy, and the best part is it’s free!

都市地區總是喧囂擁擠，你會聽見喇叭和垃圾車經過的聲音；公車上的吵雜對話聲與嬰兒哭聲。入夜後，到處看得見車輛、商店、餐廳與公寓大樓的燈光。你是否曾想遠離這一切？

如果你追求的是平靜安詳的感覺，非常簡單，何不到森林野餐和健行？ 如果附近有海灘，何不脫下鞋子，踩沙散步？ 都市環境裡同樣也能看見大自然的蹤影，多數都市均設有充滿綠地、樹林和花圃的公園，你甚至可以帶本書，坐在公園長凳上閱讀。

即使你非常忙碌，還是能撥冗駐足聞聞玫瑰花香。享受大自然的機會唾手可得，最棒的是完全免費！
