Frank Sinatra 的 New York, New York 這首歌：

Start spreading the news, 

I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill - 

top of the heap

These little town blues are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it - 

in old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city that 

never sleeps
And find I'm a number one
Top of the list - king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
And if I can make it there, 

I'm gonna make it anywhere
It up to you - New York New York

聽到這首歌曲，

令我想起一次跨年節假期。
走在零下15度的銀色世界，
感受到寂靜與酷寒的極限。
由世貿遺址漫步到不遠的堤岸⋯

這是充滿朝氣的老城市，
許多古典的高樓

依傍在摩登大廈旁，
也可以那麼自然、協和。
紐約確實有其獨特風格。

行色匆匆的人們

依然不忘優雅地禮貌與殷勤。
記得有次快步穿越馬路正要轉入另一街道，
聽到對街有位男士高聲喊：

Lady Lady 
手上還揮著我的長圍巾。

當時才發覺圍巾溜掉了。
綠燈後他一路飛奔過來，
帶著微笑說 Take care 後

才再走回原路。
令人印象深刻，
冰天雪地中感覺無比溫暖。
