我家住在个一个花园式小区里，绿地、娱乐设施都很齐备，但是，不知为什么，人们之间的关系却很冷淡。邻里之间互不相识，连楼里的小孩子也不常出门，我经常一个人在楼下的健身区玩。
My family lives in a garden style community with green space and entertainment facilities. However, for some reason, the relationship between people is very cold. Neighbors don't know each other, even the children in the building don't often go out. I often play alone in the fitness area downstairs.
有一天，楼道的广告板上贴出一张大纸，上面写着：“小区定于本周六，组织小区居民免费郊游，早晨七点整在小区门口集合上车，欢迎大家参加。”小区里的人都纷纷在议论这件事，我和爸爸妈妈商量决定参加这次郊游。
One day, a large piece of paper was pasted on the advertising board of the corridor, which said: "the community is scheduled to organize free outings on Saturday, and gather at the gate of the community at 7 o'clock in the morning. Welcome to participate." People in the community are talking about it. My parents and I decided to take part in the outing.
周六一早，我们就带着郊游必备的东西兴冲冲地出发了，小区门口已经有很多人了，大家见了面，互相微笑着打了招呼。许多都是一家三口齐出动，还有许多老年人也参加了活动。六点五十分，车来了，小区的管理员组织大家上了车，坐好后这些每天见面却从没有说过话的邻居们就聊开了。大家很友好地互相问了住址，有的同层，有的是上下层，还有的就是邻居。大家谈了小区的建设，生活环境，谈自己家里有趣的事，谈家里养的宠物，开心极了。
On Saturday morning, we set out with the necessary things for the outing. There were already many people at the gate of the community. Everyone met and greeted each other with a smile. Many of them are from three families, and many of the elderly also take part in the activities. At 6:50, the car came. The administrator of the community organized everyone to get on the car. After taking the car, the neighbors who met every day but never talked to each other chatted. We asked each other's addresses in a friendly way, some on the same floor, some on the upper and lower levels, and some neighbors. We talked about the construction of the community, living environment, interesting things in our home, pets in our home. We were very happy.
中途有一位阿姨晕车，大家都找药给她，还把通风最好的位子也让给她了。看着这些熟悉却又陌生的面孔，我想，其实大家并不是无话可说嘛，人和人之间只要沟通，会相处的很好的。
In the middle of the way, an aunt got carsick. Everyone looked for medicine and gave her the best ventilated seat. Looking at these familiar but unfamiliar faces, I think, in fact, we have nothing to say. As long as people communicate with each other, they will get along well.
游玩的地方到了，这些已经熟悉的邻居们决定一起野餐，我们这些孩子们更是很快就成了朋友，大家一起在小溪里捞鱼，抓蝌蚪，海阔天空的聊天。在自然中，人们的距离更近了，大家一起做食物，有的堆起小火堆烤肉，有的布置会餐的地方，开饭了，每个人都有说有笑的，就好像一家人一样。这次郊游我认识了许多好朋友，我们还约定回家后一起在小区里玩。
When the place of play arrived, these familiar neighbors decided to have a picnic together. We children became friends very quickly. We fished fish in the stream, caught tadpoles and talked in the open air. In nature, people are closer. We make food together, some make small fires for barbecue, some arrange places for dinner and have dinner. Everyone talks and laughs, just like a family. I met many good friends on this outing. We also made an appointment to play together in the community after we went home.
郊游之后，我们的小区变了，人们见面后都会热情的打招呼，邻里之间缺个什么用的都会互相借。我觉得这样的小区才算是真正好的生活空间，人们之间充满了一种温暖的感觉，我们这些新结识好朋友，每天都会约好在楼下打篮球，打乒乓球什么的，老人们也会一起在楼下练练太极拳，连我那以前一下班就不出门的爸妈也会下楼遛弯聊天了。大家都说小区组织的这次郊游功劳最大，我却觉得，其实人与人之间本来就应该友善、融洽相处才对嘛。
After the outing, our community has changed. People will greet each other warmly after meeting, and the neighbors will borrow whatever they lack. I think this kind of community is really a good living space. People are full of a warm feeling. We new friends make an appointment to play basketball and table tennis downstairs every day. The old people also practice Taijiquan downstairs together. Even my parents who didn't go out from work before would walk downstairs and chat. Everyone said that this outing organized by the community is the most meritorious, but I think that in fact, people should be friendly and get along well with each other.
