Office workers and students have scrambled into their respective offices and schools, but the long row of shops, the Taipei Story House (fomerly Yuanshan Resort), and the SPOT-Taipei Film House (formerly the American ambassador's official residence) have not opened their doors. The wide sidewalks underneath the flamegold trees are quiet--you could walk a long, long way ... almost back into history.
上班族、學生一陣忙亂衝進辦公室和學校以後，夾在台北故事館（原圓山別莊）和台北光點戲院（原美國大使官邸）之間的長排商店仍未開門，欒樹旁的寬敞人行道很安靜，可以讓人做個長長的散步，走的很遠，幾乎可走進歷史裡。
