22、g!” he said. “Good morning to you,” I answered, and for no reason at all we started to laugh, and moved on into the day. Nothing significant in it except it may or may not have happened that way 30 or 40 years ago. Im not sure the full charge of friendliness would have been assumed or answered. It m

23、ade me think of something I saw Monday night on TV. They were showing the 1967 movie “Guess Whos Coming to Dinner?” with Katharine Hepburn, Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy, about a young white woman and a young black man who fall in love, hope to marry and must contend with disapproving parents on

24、both sides. Its held up well, and parts of it seemed moving in a way I didnt remember, and pertinent. There was a bit of dialogue that packed a wallop. Spencer Tracy as the father of the would-be bride is pressing Mr. Poitier on whether he has considered the sufferings their mixed-race children migh

25、t have to endure in America. Has he thought about this? Has his fiance? “She is optimistic,” says Mr. Poitier. “She thinks every one of them will grow up to become president of the United States. I on the other hand would settle for secretary of state.” Those words, written 35 years ago may have see

26、med dreamy then. But in its audience when the movie came out would likely have been a young, film-loving Army lieutenant named Colin Powell who, that year, was preparing for a second tour of duty in Vietnam. And now he is secretary of state. This is the land dreams are made of. Does that strike you

27、as a corny thing to say and talk about? It is. Thats another great thing. Late Tuesday, on a subway ride from Brooklyn to the north of Manhattan, I resaw something Id noticed and forgotten about. It is that more and more, on the streets and on the train, I see people wearing ID tags. We all wear IDs

28、 now. We didnt use to. They hang from thick cotton string or an aluminum chain; theyre worn one at a time or three at a time, but theyre there. I ponder the implications. What does it mean that we wear IDs? What are we saying, or do we think were saying? I mean aside from the obvious. I imagined yes

29、terday the row of people across from me on the train, looking up all of a sudden from their newspaper and answering one after another: “Im not just blowing through life, Im integrated into it. I belong to something. I receive a regular paycheck.” “I have had a background check done by security and h

30、ave been found to be a Safe Person. Have you?” “It means I know who I am,” says the man in blue shirt and suspenders. “It means I can get into the building,” says the woman in gray. “It means I am a solid citizen with a job.” “I am known to others in my workplace.” I wonder if unemployed people on t

31、he train look at the tags around the other peoples necks and think. Soon I hope Ill have one too. I wonder if kids just getting their first job at 17 will ever know that in America we didnt all use to be IDd. Used to be only for people who worked in nuclear power plants or great halls of government.

32、 Otherwise you could be pretty obscure. Which isnt a bad way to be. A month ago there were news reports of a post-Sept. 11 baby boom. Everyone was so rocked by news of their mortality that they realized there will never be a perfect time to have kids but were here now so lets have a family. I believ

33、ed the baby boom story and waited for the babies. Then came the stories saying: Nah, there is no baby boom, its all anecdotal, theres no statistical evidence to back it up. And I believed that too. But Ive been noticing something for weeks now. In my neighborhood there is a baby boom. There are babi

34、es all over in Brooklyn. It is full of newborns, of pink soft-limbed infants in cotton carriers on daddys chest. It is full of strollers, not only regular strollers but the kind that carry two children - double-wides. And triple-wides. I dont care what anyone says, there have got to be data that bac

35、k up what Im seeing: that after Sept. 11, there was at least a Brooklyn baby boom. A dream boom, too. The other day I spoke with a friend I hadnt seen since the world changed. He was two blocks away when the towers fell, and he saw everything. We have all seen the extraordinary footage of that day,

36、seen it over and over, but few of us have seen what my friend described: how in the office buildings near the World Trade Center they stood at the windows and suddenly darkness enveloped them as the towers collapsed and the demonic cloud swept through. Did you see those forced to jump? I asked. But

37、not this time. I spoke to a friend who is a therapist. Are your patients getting extraordinary dreams? I asked. “Always,” he laughs. Sept.11-related? “Yes,” he says, “mostly among adolescents.” I asked if he was saving them, writing them down. He shook his head no. “Yes,” he said, and looked away. H

38、ave you had bad dreams? “Yes,” he said, and looked away. I thought about this for a few days. My friend is brilliant and by nature a describer of things felt and seen. So: The Sept. 11 Dream Project. We should begin it. I want to, though Im not sure why. I think maybe down the road I will try to wri

39、te about them. Maybe not. I am certain, however, that dreams can be an expression of a nations unconscious, if there can be said to be such a thing, and deserve respect. (Carl Jung thought so.) To respect is to record. Send in your Sept. 11 related dream - recurring, unusual, striking, whatever. I w

40、ill read them, and appreciate them and possibly weave them into a piece on what Sept. 11 has done to our dream lives and to our imaginations, when our imaginations are operating on their own, unfettered, unstopped, spanning. I found myself fully awake at 5 a.m. yesterday and went for a walk on the B

41、rooklyn Bridge. Now more than ever the bridge seems like a great gift to my city. It spans. In the changed landscape of downtown it is our undisturbed beauty, grown ever more stately each year. It is hot in New York. It is so hot that once when I had a fever a friend called and asked me how I felt a

42、nd I said, “You know how dry and hot paper feels when its been faxed? Thats how I feel.“ And how I felt all day yesterday. It is hot. We feel as if weve been faxed. 1.

People seem to love it more now, or at least mention it more or notice it m

44、ore. So do I. Its always full of tourists but always full of New Yorkers, too. I am struck, as I always am when Im on it, that I am walking on one of the engineering wonders of the world. And I was struck yesterday that I was looking at one of the greatest views in the history of mans creation, Manh

45、attan at sunrise. And all of it was free. A billionaire would pay billions to own this bridge and keep this view, but I and my jogging, biking and hiking companions have it for nothing. We inherited it. Now all we do is pay maintenance, in the form of taxes. We are lucky. Analyze the structure of th

46、e sentence. This sentence can be changed into “Now all we do is to pay”. Infinitive can be used with / without “to” after the verb “be”, when the subject is a clause beginning with “all” or “what”. That is: All / What + be + (to) v. All I did was (to) fax the paper so as to let her decide what to do

47、. 我所做的就是发传真给她，让她决定该做什么。我所做的就是发传真给她，让她决定该做什么。 What well do is (to) leave a note for Bill to tell him well be back in time for the dinner party. 我们要做的是给比尔留个条，告诉他我们会准时我们要做的是给比尔留个条，告诉他我们会准时回来回来参加晚宴的。参加晚宴的。 As I rounded the entrance to the bridge on the Brooklyn side, a small moment added to my happiness

48、. It was dawn, traffic was light, I passed a black van with smoked windows. In the drivers seat with the window down was a black man of 30 or so, a cap low on his brow, wearing thick black sunglasses. I was on the walkway that leads to the bridge; he was less than two feet away; we were the only peo

49、ple there. We made eye contact. “Good morning!” he said. “Good morning to you,” I answered, and for no reason at all we started to laugh, and moved on into the day. 1.
