Нью-Йорк после Парижа
В 1906 году журнал "The Atlantic's"опубликовал очень интересную статью "New York After Paris". А несколько дней назад корреспондент этого же журнала написал "Revisiting 'New York After Paris", которую я и нашла, гуляя по интернету. Я сразу же стала читать оригинал , в котором сравниваются два великих города Нью-Йорк и Париж,и нашла там полно интересных сравнений. Мне понравилось!
Вот пара цитат.
The typical New Yorker is always in such a hopeless hurry to make his fortune that he is impatient of small things in every relation of life. He has no time to eat and drink like a civilized being,-witness the barbarous noon-lunch counter and the still more barbarous bar. He has no time for the little courtesies which go to make up manners.
The Londoner is said to take his pleasures sadly. The New Yorker takes his hurriedly, as if-rush is so much second-nature with him-he were anxious to get them off the docket as expeditiously as possible. In short, he has no time to live a well-rounded life. He uses up so much energy in getting together a heap of dollars that he has no energy left for living.
