三 中文翻译
我在俄亥俄州东北部的一个小镇长大。去宾夕法尼亚州中部上学后，我很快就意识到，人们对俄亥俄州的了解少得可怜。虽然我家离学校只有三个半小时车程，但大多数同学都把俄亥俄州当成了另一个世界。"你回家得坐飞机吗？你住在农场里吗？"这样的问题没完没了。在他们眼里，我就是个外人。
随着年龄增长，我越来越庆幸自己有着小镇的根。诚然，我和朋友们以前总爱抱怨，说自己待在这穷乡僻壤快闷死了；然而，等我大三快读完的时候，我深信：正是离开了小镇，我们才意识到自己有多爱它，才明白到底爱它的什么。
小镇的生活节奏很慢，人们很看重彼此之间的联结。你和邻居的关系远不止点头之交——很多时候，他们真的就像家人的延伸。这种联结很大程度上围绕着户外活动和对小镇的了如指掌；活在当下、留心周遭，是这里文化的重要组成部分。
大学这些年，我格外珍惜每次回小镇的机会。我很感激成长过程中拥有的那些经历，而且我知道，无论下一段人生旅程将我带往何方，我都可以依靠这份小镇的根，指引我走向正确的方向。

My Hometown: A Small Town with Big Heart
I grew up in a little town in northeast Ohio, a place most people know little about. The realization of how little people knew about Ohio came quickly after I went to school in Pennsylvania, where my classmates kept asking silly questions like "Do you have to fly home?" I was almost a foreigner in their eyes.
The pace of life there is slow and people value connecting to each other.You do more than just talk to your neighbors — in many cases, they're truly an extension of your family.Being present and mindful of your surroundings is a critical part of the culture.
As I grow older, I'm more and more grateful for my small town roots.Wherever my next adventure takes me, I know I can rely on my small town roots to lead me in the right direction.
