New Orleans 新奥尔良 In my opinion, you could win the debate over whether Florida is part of the South just based on its smell. (It's not.) Meanwhile, New Orleans exudes the South's signature perfume from every street corner. It's a thick, soporific scent of humidity penetrating wood porches and plaster walls; dead moss; and the Mississippi's fresh water colliding with the brine of the Gulf. Old beer, frying fat, mud, and lush grass are all in there, too. 在我看来，多数人仅根据气息便将佛罗里达划定为南方（其实它并不属于南方）。同时，新奥尔良的每个角落都流露出南方的典型气息，透过潮湿木材门廊和墙壁的一种厚重又具有催眠作用的气息；已死的青苔；密西西比河淡水与盐水相遇的海湾。老啤酒、油炸肥肉、泥以及茂盛的草丛也都在那里。 |
