New York is like an international airport, with people coming and going. In coffee shops, in particular, with everyone talking away in English or Spanish or French and me writing in Chinese, I'd feel like I was in a safe, cozy little world and could work undisturbed.
紐約就像個國際機場、人來人往，尤其到咖啡店寫作時，大家都用英文或西班牙文、法文在交談，我用中文寫作，覺得那個小世界挺安全的，不受干擾。
