The first time I went to New York was in 2006 when my company sent me there to attend a training session. We were still living in Canada at that time. There was really no time to experience New York on that trip. The actual traveling to New York was in 2008. That was the second year after we moved to Houston. We drove all the way to Toronto, Canada, and then returned to Texas along the East Coast through Boston, New York, Washington, and other cities. (第一次到纽约，是2006年被公司派到那里去参加一个培训。那时我们还在加拿大生活。那一次并没有时间去感受纽约。而真正到纽约旅游是在2008年。那是我们移居到休士顿的第二年。我们开车一路到达加拿大的多伦多，再沿东海岸经过波士顿，纽约，华盛顿等城市回到德克萨斯州。)
After briefly experiencing the prosperity of this cosmopolitan city, I never imagined that one day our family would be able to interact with this city again. Years later, the thing I heard most about New York was how dangerous the city was. In 2022, when our youngest daughter decided to go to college in New York for the first few months, we felt nervous all the time. I had to repeatedly remind her to pay attention to safety, not to take the subway alone, not to go to public places alone, etc., as if the city was full of crises. (短暂的领略了这个世界大都市的繁华之后，没有想到有一天我们的家庭能够和这个城市再有交集。多年之后，听到关于纽约最多的就是那个城市是如何的危险。2022年，当小女儿决定到纽约上大学开始的最初几个月，我们的心情无时无刻不是在紧张的状态。要反复叮嘱女儿注意安全，不要单独乘坐地铁，不要一个人单独去公共场所等等，仿佛这个城市充满危机。)
The below photos were taken around the school campus when we dropped her off at school for the first time last year. (下面的照片是去年我们第一次送她去学校时在校园周围拍摄的。)
Rushed to and from New York several times, and this time we finally had the opportunity to visit the night market, walk on the streets at night, enjoy the night view of the city, and take the subway to where we wanted to go. Pedestrians on the street and passengers in the subway were all very relaxed, not full of vigilant eyes as I had thought. I also realized that this is still a vibrant city that young people aspire to. Everyone can live freely here while maintaining safety awareness. (匆匆往返纽约几次，这一次再到那里，终于有机会逛逛夜市，行走在夜晚的街道上，欣赏一下城市的夜景，乘上地铁去到想去的地方。街上的行人和地铁里的乘客都是非常放松的状态，并非我曾经以为的都是充满警惕的眼神。我也认识到这里仍然是那个受年轻人向往的充满活力的城市。在保持安全意识的前提下，每个人在这里都可以自由的生活。)

WTC and 9/11 Memorial & Museum (世贸中心与9/11纪念馆）
Everyone remembers September 11, 2001. We were still in Canada at the time. I saw the news on the TV in the lobby of my apartment that morning and was shocked. Today, the new World Trade Center towers, the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the Oculus Center, and several other buildings have been erected on the site of the Twin Towers. （大家都记得2001年9月11日。当时我们还在加拿大。 那天早上我在公寓大厅的电视上看到了这条新闻，感到震惊。 如今，新的世贸中心塔楼、9/11 纪念博物馆、Oculus 中心和其他几座建筑已在双子塔原址上拔地而起。）

Ferry from Manhattan to Staten Island （从曼哈顿到史泰登岛的渡轮）
Visitors and commuters can ride the free ferry between Manhattan and Staten Island. It was an overcast day, but as we boarded the ferry, the rays of the setting sun broke through the clouds and fell onto the Statue of Liberty and the buildings of Manhattan. （游客和通勤者可以乘坐曼哈顿和史泰登岛之间的免费渡轮。 那天是阴天，但当我们登上渡轮时，夕阳的光芒冲破云层，落在自由女神像和曼哈顿的建筑上。）

Manhattan night view from Brooklyn Bridge Park (从布鲁克林大桥公园看曼哈顿夜景)
Photographing the night view of Manhattan is the highlight of this trip to New York. Take the subway into Brooklyn and see the massive pier of the Manhattan Bridge in the Dumbo neighborhood. Under the Manhattan Bridge, looking at the Williamsburg Bridge in the distance. Capture the lights of Manhattan under the Brooklyn Bridge. (拍摄曼哈顿夜景是此次纽约之行的重点计划。乘地铁到达布鲁克林，在Dumbo街区领略曼哈顿大桥的巨大桥墩，在曼哈顿大桥下，眺望远处的威廉斯堡大桥。在布鲁克林大桥下拍摄曼哈顿的流光溢彩。)

At LaGuardia Airport， even though it’s not Thanksgiving yet, it’s already filled with Christmas cheer. （在拉瓜迪亚机场，虽然感恩节还未到，但已充满圣诞节的欢快气氛。）
Sunset Over The Clouds（云端之上的晚霞）
On the flight back, the magnificent sunset above the clouds made me press the shutter again. Maybe this is not a scenery you encounter every time you travel. （回程的航班上，云层之上壮丽的夕阳让我再次按下了快门。也许这不是你每次旅行都会遇到的风景。）
