英文短篇故事（纽约）118 I Love New York City!

 　　"I love New York City," said Eddie. "I wake up happy because I'm waking up in NYC. I sleep like a baby because I'm sleeping in NYC. It's a big city chock-full of small, friendly communities. It isn't the mean city that people see in the movies. It's a city made for enjoying. It's a city made for exploring. What's not to love?" Barry said, "Ha! What's not to love? Bags of smelly¹ garbage are on the streets every day. Some sidewalks and subway stations reek² of urine. Streets and subways—even the sidewalks!—are jam-packed. And the bikers—just yesterday a biker almost ran me over. They come at you from everywhere—from the front, from the back, and from the sides. When I step into the street, I look out for bikers first, cars second." Eddie said, "Those things aren't bad. They just add CHARACTER to our city."
