　　According to the report, people living in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen suffer much higher economic pressure, while fourth-tier and smaller cities offer fewer job opportunities and connection plays an important role in every aspect of life there.

　　报告称，北上广深等一线城市居民承受着较大的经济压力；而四线及以下城市的工作机会较少，人脉在生活的各个方面都起着重要作用。

　　People in fourth-tier and smaller cities have economic pressures close to the national average level in terms of income, education, medical services and elderly care, while family and human relationship stress are higher than second- and third-tier cities.

　　报告发现，三线城市是最适合居住的地方。
