If you have to walk for more than 10 minutes to reach your lunch appointment in Hong Kong, you’ve either chosen the wrong restaurant or you work for the wrong investment bank.
在香港,如果你要走10多分钟才能到达订好的午餐地点,要么你选错了餐厅,要么你在错误的投资银行工作。
Hong Kong’s Central district is a warren of law firms, banks, investment managers and accountants that, when set upon by lunch-goers, can overwhelm the uninitiated diner.
香港中环是律师事务所、银行、投资经理和会计师云集的地方,而当各路人马都抢着吃午餐时,就会让缺乏经验的人抓狂。
Most locals will aim to take their meals in restaurants they can stroll to under the protection of an interconnected walkway system that spans almost the entire district, from the Four Seasons hotel in the north-west to the HSBC building in the south-east. Venturing outside risks exposing oneself to torrential downpours in April or unbearable humidity in July.
大多数中环人会希望在他们可以在人行天桥系统的遮风挡雨下漫步而至的餐厅用餐,人行天桥系统四通八达,几乎横跨整个中环——从西北部的四季酒店(Four Seasons)到东南部的汇丰银行(HSBC)大楼。在外面冒险则可能会让自己暴露在4月的倾盆大雨或7月难以忍受的潮湿中。
