广场square[英][skweə(r)] [美][skwɛr] 中英文故事：时代广场上空的繁星（4） “早晨8点了。离这里两个街区的地方供电已经恢复了，这儿马上就会来电。”说到这儿，父亲停了一下，脸上露出一丝回味的神情，“你知道吗，昨晚我在时代广场上空看到了星星！我觉得已经很久都没有人说看到星星了。” 突然，大厅的吊灯亮了。欢呼声、掌声、笑声立刻响彻整个大厅。那些和我一样在地板或沙发上挨过漫漫长夜的人都舒了口气，美美地伸了个懒腰。 父亲和我一起进电梯，我迫不及待地希望电梯快点升到9楼。随后，我欢欣雀跃地走进房间准备好好睡一觉。 后来，我们参观了自由女神像、斯坦顿岛、世贸大厦遗址、帝国大厦以及百老汇的歌剧魅影。但我总觉得父亲对纽约印象最深的还是绚丽的人工灯光暂时消失,上帝的工艺品闪耀恬静光芒的那个时刻。 “Eight. The lights are on two blocks down from us. The power should come back on pretty soon.” He paused, a look of reverie on his face, “You know, last night I was able to see the stars over Times Square. I wonder how long it’s been since somebody was able to say that. ” All of a sudden, the chandelier came on. Cheers, clapping and laughter filled the room. People sighed and stretched, having spent the interminable night sitting on the floor or couch, just as I had. Dad and I got on the elevator, and I waited impatiently as it slowly made the journey to the ninth floor. Gleefully, I walked into our room ready for a long nap. As it turned out, we got to see the Statue of Liberty, Staten Island, Ground Zero, the Empire State Building and Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Somehow, though, I always felt that Dad was most impressed when the gaudy man- made lights of New York City were temporarily extinguished and the quiet splendour of God’s handiwork shone through. 中英文例句 1.
