Surprisingly, for such an extensive, cynically efficient cluster of humanity, the city displayed surprising civility and solidarity during and after the attacks. It immediately regained its strength, its sense of humor, and its industriousness.
令人惊奇的是，面对如此广泛、效率不可思议的人性的汇聚，纽约城在袭击前和袭击后都表现出令人难以置信的礼貌和团结。它立刻重新找回了力量、幽默和勤勉。2001年9月11日后，各式各样的摩天大厦、俱乐部和餐馆如雨后春笋般地拔地而起，几乎比以前更有活力。不仅如此，这座城市拒绝再次为从这次灾难中牟取政治利益的美国总统投票。
