英语翻译
My father’s reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite:“You won’t catch me putting my money in there!” he declared,“Not in that glass box!”
  Of course,my father is a gentleman of the old school,a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting,but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity(实物) that could be carried,or stolen.
对于地处纽约市第五大道第43街道的银行建筑,我父亲的反应是直接且确切的.他说过,“你不要想把我的钱放在这里,这个玻璃箱里.”
当然,我的父亲是旧式社会上有身份的人,他也是那些认为现代建筑的美好交易是令人心烦意乱的上一代人中的一员.但我确信他对建筑的消极反应并没有他误解钱的本质概念来得强烈.在他们那代人的想法中,钱作为真实存在的实物,是可以被搬走或被偷走的.
