Central Park

Central Park lies at the very center of Manhattan, one of the few quiet places this city has. Solomon has held court here for years, playing chess and watching the crowds come and go. When Seven demanded to know why he wastes his days here, he answered that he is living life, making connections, challenging himself. To Solomon, the park is something close to a spiritual home:

“If this is the end, I want to spend it in Central Park. It it's not the end, I'd rather be spending my time in Central Park”

“如果这就是末日，我想在中央公园度过。要是还不是末日，我也宁愿把时间花在中央公园。”TL

The park is Baba’s turf as well. She is the famous “Central Park Pigeon Lady,” said to sit on the same bench day after day, feeding her flock of spirit pigeons; that is what Billy calls her. In her eyes, Central Park after dark is the measure of a dangerous place:

“Gotta treat this place like central park after dark”

“这地方得当成夜里的中央公园来对待。”TL

Billy once mocked Vindicta to her face, saying she does nothing but walk around Central Park barefoot. Bebop is a regular here too; Solomon once told him he hadn’t been by the park in a while, and asked how his mother, Shelly Fisher, was doing.

The park has its rules, too. The Shopkeeper warned Solomon that they don’t allow most of this stuff in the park. And when someone sighed, to Solomon who was about to lead them out of the park, that the situation was worse than they had thought:

“If you're leaving Central Park the situation must be more dire than I thought.”

“你要离开中央公园了，看来情况比我想的还糟。”TL
