"I used to do all my dating there," recalls an editor at the United Daily News, now in his fifties. Young people couldn't afford coffee shops in those days, but the zoo was within easy reach and admission was only 2NT, on top of which, "the greenery and the views made it just right for strolling about and chatting."
「我以前約會都在動物園」，聯合報一位五十多歲的編輯說，那時沒錢上咖啡廳，動物園不但交通方便，門票才二元，而且「綠蔭夾道，景色優美，很適合散步聊天。」
