愛排隊的紐約客
🏃♀If you are a true New Yorker, you have probably spent a Sunday waiting in line at a restaurant that serves the same brunch dishes as the empty joint next door, while your earbuds play some sort of yacht rock music provided by your insurance company or mortgage holder, which has, of course, put you on hold.
如果你是真正的紐約客，你可能會花費整個星期天在一家餐廳排隊等位，其實隔壁空蕩蕩的小店就提供相差無幾的早午餐；與此同時，你的耳機裡響著某段遊艇搖滾樂，由你的保險公司或抵押持有人提供，當然，是讓你等待電話轉接時聽的。
👯♀It’s how New Yorkers build up the reserves of hostile energy that keep the lights burning. If you are a visitor to New York, a go-to activity might be lining up in front of a Broadway theater well before the house opens, even though your ticket guarantees you the same seat if you arrive at the last minute. It’s where you meet the most interesting people, none of them New Yorkers.
紐約人就是靠著這個來積蓄敵意的能量，讓生命之火常燃。如果你是來紐約的遊客，必選的一項活動可能是不等開門就開始在某家百老匯劇院外排隊——儘管你的門票保障你即便是最後一刻到達也能坐上同一個位子。在這樣的地方，你可以遇到最有意思的人，他們都不是紐約人。
🏙Either way, as Lou Reed sang, “First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait.” The photographer Natan Dvir, who moved to New York from Israel in 2008, was stunned by the local tendency toward lines. He was waiting amid a crowd at a bus stop, and when the bus pulled up, everyone magically took positions in line, as if they had choreographed it in advance.
無論以哪種方式，正如盧·里德唱的那樣，「你學到的第一件事就是總要等待。」2008年從以色列搬到紐約的攝影師納坦·德沃對這裡的人們喜歡排隊這件事感到震驚。他在一個公車站，在人群中等車，當公車停下來時，每個人都神奇地排起了隊，好像提前設計過一樣。
