这也许是伦敦的标志性景象:地铁站里的人们沿着自动扶梯向上走。在这个城市,只有游客才会站在扶梯上茫然发呆。这是因为伦敦和曼哈顿、香港以及其他大城市一样,已经成为拼搏者的天下。他们正把所有其他人赶出城市。
It may be the defining London sight: people walking up escalators ,at Tube1) stations. In this city only tourists stand ,goggling2) blankly into space. That's because London-- like Manhattan, Hong Kong and other great cities--has fallen into the hands of strivers. They are driving everyone else out of town.
