    怪味纽约

         其实关于纽约,一切得很真实,却又过于简单了,乃至于直到现在,我无法为它写些什么。
         真实,是因为几乎所有的场景、街道和历程,都在想象和计划之中,延着走下来,没有惊喜也没有惊吓。
         简单,是因为纽约真的无法用一个词语或者颜色去描述,是我见过最难以定性的一个城市,或许,这就是大融炉的定义吧。什么都有,甚至连主色调都变得模糊不清了。
          在我看来,纽约本该是个性的代名词,但或许,所有东西都太有自己的个性了,冲撞之下,反而模糊了个性的定义,纽约,如风一样四散在记忆中。在这里,你可以找到很多类似于其他地方,尤其是欧洲的某个角落,但我不喜欢用类比法来形容他们。纽约,尽管缘起于英国的YORK,但茁壮成长多年之后,已经超越了那些藤蔓,延伸到了高处。像或者不像他的祖先,已经不重要了。我常说绵羊,你硬要在美国买欧洲牌子,纯粹是自找麻烦。但同样,我也不自觉地用欧洲作为标准去量度这个只有两百多年历史的国家,这里没有欧洲漂亮、精致,没有欧洲那么多东西卖,这些都是我们对美国的理解,但其实,用欧洲的标准去衡量美国,是不是很不公平呢。如果我们能用美国的标准去看这个城市,他是否又会更加美好呢。可惜,先入为主总是很残忍地把美国推到了精神贫瘠的那一边去,其实,他拥有很多欧洲没有的东西,更加实际,例如食物和自由的气息,没有那么多的清规戒律,这些,对于生活在其中的人而言,应该更加宝贵。
          相比之下,华盛顿和尼加拉瓜大瀑布,更简单而纯粹,而费城和波士顿,则几乎不值得描述,除了食物。
          这将会是一大堆不成系统的游记了,因为,没有办法用写实的笔法去描述美国。
