New York City is known for a lot of things nightlife, world-class cuisine, an enviable skyline. There is, of course, a flip side to fast-moving life in the big city: our hair-trigger tempers, in-your-face attitudes and the relatively constant state of angst that comes from living cheek-to-jowl with more than 8 million urban neighbors.
cuisine n. 烹饪艺术、菜肴、烹饪;风味、(通常指昂贵的饭店中的)饭菜,菜肴
angst n. 焦虑,担心
