註釋
The skyscrapers and neon nightlife, together with the inner-city ghettos, symbolize the excitements and tribulations of the contemporary urban living of New York. But this city's powerful presence is also built upon a dramatic history. Settled by Dutch traders, seized at gunpoint by an English fleet, New York's development into a mega-city is as astounding as any in American history.
