评分New York City, here is New York. It is a city of isolation, a city of loneliness and most importantly a city of tolerance. Gone are the old days. Just like what Maugham said, some people are always looking for their final destination. It's a curse, and a ...
评分如果恐怖分子也有闲情读书,那么,本拉登的信徒们在胁持飞机撞向世贸大厦时,他们的左口袋里别着一把刀或枪,右口袋里可能会兜着一本怀特的《这就是纽约》。“纽约最微妙的变化,人人嘴上不讲,但人人心里明白。这座城市,在它漫长历史上,第一次有了毁灭的可能。只须一小队形...
