Here is New York

Elwyn Brooks White was a leading American essayist, author, humorist, poet and literary stylist and author of such beloved children's classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine. He authored over seventeen books of prose and poetry and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1973.Funnily enough for such a famous writer, he always said that he found writing difficult and bad for one's disposition but he kept at it!Mr. White has won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, which commended him for making “a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”

E.B. White's underground classic, and one of the most beautifully written, accurate portrayals of the world's most diverse and interesting city.

“有谁指望孤独或者私密，纽约将赐予他这类古怪的奖赏”。E•B•怀特在《这就是纽约》的开头这样写到。现在，如果把句子中“纽约”替换成“北京”，这句话也将继续表现出它的合理性。事实上，《这就是纽约》会让所有生活在大城市的人感同身受。读罢此文，我脑海中出...  

在信息朝生暮死的年头，我不得不承认自己是后知道派分子，这是件很难为情的事，充分暴露出我的视觉广度狭隘和神经系统慢热。后果可想而知，我总在人家把一桩事烘烤到烂熟时才现身大放厥词。捧角儿从来都没有我的份，没在人堆里拊掌起哄我是乐此不疲，属于玩票的大多数。 上周...

怎么会有写的这么好的英文........

妙不可言，妙不可言

给城市的情书。一半小时就看完了。我觉得我要写北京都能比他写的好。但是不影响纽约在我心里的holy city的地位。

commuters give the city its tidal restlessness. natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.
