人身意外成本
这些行为造成人身损害的几率，在大城市远高于中小城市：挤压踩踏，高空抛物，建筑事故，偏僻处抢劫，交通意外 ，闹市行凶。。。
Cost of accidents
The possibility of being injured in accidents caused by the following things in big cities is much higher than that in medium-and small-sized cities : pushing ,shoving and trampling, killer litter, unsafe construction sites, robbery in inconspicuous back streets, traffic accidents, and crimes in open and bustling public areas…
焦虑成本
焦虑变成了都市人的原罪，“成功教”的信徒都很焦虑：不看报纸不上网有咨询焦虑，休假有落体焦虑，单身有婚姻焦虑，工作有升职焦虑，跳槽有待遇焦虑，怀孕有性别焦虑——没一步是省心的
Cost of anxiety
While anxieties are original sins to urban dwellers ,those who strive for success are anxious all the time :they are worried about missing important information if they don’t read newspaper or surf online; worried about lagging behind the work schedule if they ask for leave; worried about getting married when they are single; worried about the spouse having an affair when they are married; worried about the properties’value fluctuating when they buy houses; worried about promotion when they work ; worried about the remuneration when they change their jobs ; and last but not least ,they are worried about the babies’gender when they are pregnant-all in all ,nothing can put their mind at ease.
心情低落成本
愤怒，伤心，抑郁，无聊，孤独，无力感，这些负面情绪旁被上司看见，会质疑你态度不端正影响工作；自己去发泄，则需要购物，倾诉，社交，暴食，背包旅行等多种费钱费时的行业配合。
Cost of depression
Anger, sadness, depression, boredom, loneliness and helplessness, all of these negative attitudes will do you no good but offend your boss. You can take out all these bad moods on shopping , or talking to friends, or socializing, or cramming your stomach with good food or traveling ,but undoubtedly, all of these cost money and time!
感情稳定成本
大城市的恋爱率和离婚率高，与速食爱情和陌生人的伦理淡薄有关。人心更加自私，并不交付给对方，只是寄存，随时想抓住新的机会。异性诱惑那么多，出轨门槛那么低，你不知道为感情和婚姻付出多少才够安全。
Cost of having a stable relationship
The high possibility of having a relationship and the high divorce rate are closely linked with modern people’s moral ethics: everything including love has a price; people can’t care less about others. People become more selfish and they never give their full trust to anyone. Lovers are just temporary partners. There is always temptation which lures people to jump into a new relationship. It is so easy to have an affair and you never know how much you should invest to have a secure relationship or marriage.
加班成本
加班最恐怖的不是占用私人时间，而是把在私人时间工作变成了一种习惯。把女的当男的用，把男的当畜牲用，只有工作没有生活，提倡加班不提倡加班费，这也是大城市的一种清明上河图。
Cost of extra work
The worst part about extra work is not to take up your personal time ; instead ,it is when you are so used to the overtime schedule it becomes a routine. Nowadays, women work like men and men work like beast of burden. Lift is all about work, and extra work doesn’t mean extra income or promotion. This is probably a modern version of “riverside scene at qingming festival”
出人头地成本
出一本书就有名列《县志》，开一辆宝马就能全城瞩目，这在大城市绝不可能，优秀的人，爱秀的人，有故事的人，创业的人，敢脱的人，会操作和炒作的人多的是，凭什么你暴名暴利？
Cost of standing out from the crowd
Want to have your name printed on county annals by publishing only one book? Want to be in the spotlight by only driving a BMW? This is absolutely impossible in big cities! These are millions of elites, showy people, people with stories, entrepreneurs, people mooning in public ,speculators and on overhypers. What makes you so special to stand out from the crowd?
时髦成本
在小城市， 一个月有一套新衣服就可以领先同事和朋友，在大城市，你要比着铜版纸杂志上的品牌和时装服季上的新款来，既要高级又要见个性。光是衣服已不够，还有包包、配饰、发型、手表、化妆品、香水等。一样都不能落伍。
Cost of fashion
In small cities, you might be the most fashionable person among your colleagues and friends if you show off one new dress every month. However, in metropolises , in order to be impressively fashionable, you will have to wear high-quality clothes with unique style, and follow the fashion trend and buy the name brands and newest design of clothes printed on art-paper fashion magazines. On top of that, you need to constantly “update” your purses, accessories, hairstyle, watches, cosmetics and perfumes.
噪音成本
高架路、餐馆、舞厅、KTV、建筑施工、道路维修、汽车保养场、冷却塔、老年人晨练的音响、空调、城市功能越复杂化。噪音越多，隔音成本不仅在于双层玻璃，也包括听力受损，睡眠不安，心烦意乱。
Cost of noises
Highways, restaurants, discos, KTV, construction, sites, road repair, automobiles maintenance workshops, cooling towers, the elderly’s morning exercise music, air-conditionind the more functions a city has ,the more noises there are. The cost of avoiding noises includes not only the double-layer glass but also the impairing of hearing, bad sleep and bad mood .
