你得承认:这个国家具备某种魔术师的天分,以至于可以催生出一切最有趣的事物,从迪士尼到大峡谷,从避孕药到可口可乐,谁都无法对它们不屑一顾。当美国的大门终于朝旅行者打开,我们也许该脱掉那件潮湿沉重、名叫“历史”的旧呢子大衣,把它丢给学者们,轻装前行,进入旧金山,进入拉斯维加斯,进入纽约,进入这个世界上最大的成人游乐场,在自由的空气里,“享受生活”是唯一严肃的主题。 You have to admit that this country has the talent of some sort of magician that can spawn all the funniest things, from Disney to the Grand Canyon, from birth control pills to Coca-Cola, no one can disdain them. When the door of America finally opens to travelers, we may need to take off the heavy, heavy old name coat called “History,” throw it to the scholars, walk lightly into San Francisco and into Las Vegas, into New York, into the world’s largest adult playground, in the free air, “enjoy life” is the only serious theme.
