New York and London have been connected by a giant "telectroscope"- a optical device placed under Brooklyn Bridge in New York and another one on the Thames River in London. 近日,一套巨型望远镜将纽约和伦敦“连”在了一起,其中一架望远镜安装在纽约布鲁克林大桥下,另一架则在伦敦泰晤士河上。
And we never mentioned to one another how,when we left those cars and bars in our soiled bluejeans,and after the long subway ride home to Brooklyn or Queen or the Bronx. 我也从没向谁提起过怎么样以及什么时候我们穿着我们的被脏污的牛仔裤离开那些汽车、酒吧,然后经过一段漫长的地铁旅途回到布鲁克林、皇后街或是布隆克斯。
布鲁克林在19世纪时有许多暱称,其中有「树之城」(City of Trees)、「家之城」(City of Homes)和「教堂之城」(City of Churches),今日则综合称为「家与教会的自治市」(Borough of Homes and Churches)。在1980年代及90年代,该区以治安不良闻名于世。自朱利安尼担任纽约市长之后,治安大为改善,居住环境也逐渐变好。 从中国人的构成在纽约和布鲁克林最迅速增长的人口。
