Unit 1 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream Life in America
原文：
Many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.
翻译：
在美国，许多人对乡村生活抱有浪漫的想法。许多住在城镇的人梦想着开设自己的农场，靠土地为生。但很少有人真正去实现他们的梦想。这也许还好，因为正如吉姆·多尔蒂开始他的写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的，农耕生活远非轻松自在。然而，他解释说，自己并不后悔，对自己改变生活方式的决定仍然充满热情。
