Barbara: He is exactly like what I expected him to be: funny, adorable, friendly, he loves New York and he loves the people of New York.
芭芭拉：果然不出所料，他为人风趣、迷人且友善。他很爱纽约，也爱纽约人。
Ed: Listen, if you don't like crowds, then you won't like New York. It's…it's the electricity that makes the difference. You can't find this anyplace else: a hundred and seventy-five different races, religions, ethnic groups, all around New York.
埃德：如果你不喜欢人群，就不会喜欢纽约。因为其热力四射，所以才特别。它是独一无二的：175个种族、宗教、族群全都在纽约生活。
Barbara: I'm hearing sirens outside as we speak; one of your neighbors is hammering next door. Do you ever get tired of the 3)hustle and bustle of people living one on top of the other here?
芭芭拉：我们谈话时我听到外面有警笛大作，有位邻居在隔壁敲敲打打，你曾对这种热闹紧张、接踵摩肩的生活产生过厌倦感吗？
Ed: Well, the fact is—and I'm smiling as I say it—that I would be more conscious of birds chirping when I go visit my friends in Connecticut than I would be of that siren. The fact is, the siren made no dent on my consciousness. I knew it was there, but who cares? It's part of New York.
埃德：事实上，对此我只会付诸一笑，因为比起警笛，我会更留心我在康涅狄格探望朋友时所听到的鸟叫虫鸣。其实我对警笛已经免疫了。我知道有警笛，但我不在乎。这是纽约的一部分。
Patrick(Host):I do love the pace, I mean there's something going on here a-a-all the time, you know. Twenty-four hours a day something's going on outside your window. I do like that part. And I think maybe if I could hire somebody to hold my hand when I get lost on the subway, yeah, I can live here.
帕特里克（男主持）：我的确喜欢这里的节奏，这里无时无刻都有新鲜事，一天24小时随时都有好玩的事在等着你。我蛮喜欢纽约的这一点。如果我搭地铁时能雇人牵着我的手而不至于迷路，那就很好，我愿意住在这里。
