一种垂死的树在美国公园里茁壮成长

我们站在纽约中央公园的购物中心，正值秋天的落叶季节。当弗雷德里克·劳·奥尔姆斯特德和卡尔弗特·沃克斯设计这条四分之一英里的人行道时，他们的灵感来自欧洲的公共空间。他们设想了一个“大长廊”，在这里，从城市的精英阶层到地位较低的人，各种背景的人都可以聚集在一起，相互交流。

We're standing on the Mall of New York City's Central Park, in the middle of fall foliage season. When Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed this quarter-mile walkway, they were inspired by Europe's public spaces. They envisioned a 'grand promenade' where people of all backgrounds, from the city's monied elite to those of lesser status, could come together and mingle.
