我说过:“我会为你们建造个不可思议、富丽堂皇的酒店。我提供建筑行业的工作,拯救酒店行业的工作,以及大中央区将会到来。所以市政局达成了共识。
I said, 'I will build you this incredible, gorgeous, gleaming hotel. I will put people to work in the construction trades and save hotel jobs and the Grand Central area will come around.' So the city made the deal.
人不是为失败而生。一个人可以被毁灭,但不能给打败。
All human errors are impatience, a premature breaking off of methodical procedure, an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.
【译文】冰与炭不能长久共存,寒与暑不会同时到来。
小说是一面反映社会的镜子,包括所有的光明和阴影。
