上流社会众生相

Soon ‘The Tropic’was known as the place to always find the driest Martinis and the prettiest women in Manhattan.Beautiful girls attracted celebrities and sports figures.Socialites mingled with politicians.And with the smart set came the Press and an ever growing reputation.And Bobby moved more and more gracefully amongst the rich and Famous.He learned the ins and outs of ‘The Cafe Society’ which included any number of prominent figures from New York's glamorous underworld.

There were the Rhinebeck,came home every night, to ordler the finest wines in the world.They seemed like an ideal couple.Except that he was sleeping with his wife's sister.And there was no shortage of Royalty from all over Europe.Like, Count Henrick Van Goren who played backgammon for millions.And his wife, Countess Van Goren,who is actually Chickie Sherman from,Passaic, New Jersey.And that ring on Suzy Bancroft's finger was a mere 41 carats.And of course with the elite came the tabloid scandals,like Tom Price, the Wall Street genius,who married the much taller automobile heiress Linda Ray Harmon,He ran through a fortune on race horses and show girls,until one day, out hunting,she mistook him for a deer.

And Bobby met them all and shook their hands and joked with them,and heard their sad and happy stories,over $1000 Magnurns Piper-Heidsieck.And learned about life and how in the end,Rodgers & Hart had it right.

很快“热带回归线”就闻名遐迩，成为曼哈顿酒类最高级且美女云集的热闹场所，正妹吸引名人和运动明星，社会名流与政客打交道，与时髦人士一起到来的还有媒体，这间夜店的名气愈来愈大，Bobby在富人和名人间跟穿梭自如，学会上流社会的里里外外，包括纽约迷人黑社会的所有老大。有rhinebeck夫妇，几乎每晚报道，点最高级的酒，他们看似神仙眷侣，除了他跟他老婆的妹妹睡。也少不了全欧洲的皇室，像是Henrick van Goren伯爵，他挥霍几百万玩棋，他的妻子伯爵夫人，其实是来自新泽西小镇的村姑，她手上的戒指有41克拉。当然伴随着精英而来的是小报丑闻，像是Tom Price，华尔街的天才，娶了比他高半头的汽车业女继承人Linda Ray Harmon，他花光她的钱在赌马和车模，直到有一天去打猎时，她把他误认为鹿。Bobby认识所有人，跟他们握手、谈笑风生，听他们边讲着悲欢故事，边狂饮高级香槟，并学会了生活以及罗杰斯和哈特最终是如何修成正果的。

很喜欢这段，知识分子伍迪艾伦风格，但是看的是机翻，最后一句实在别扭，求指正嘻嘻。
