It is a wet, cold day in midtown Manhattan but the Grill Room at the Four Seasons on East 52nd Street is a well-appointed shelter from the rain. The lighting gives the walnut walls a warm, golden glow and waiters glide from table to table, attending to an assortment of Wall Street masters of the universe. Barry Diller has arrived before me and is chatting to some people he knows on a nearby table, flecks of rainwater on his dark suit and green-and-pink striped tie.
尽管室外正下着雨,天气十分阴冷,但曼哈顿市中心第52大街东段(East 52nd Street)四季酒店(Four Seasons)内的Grill Room牛排馆却是理想的避雨处,它设施一应俱全,灯光打在核桃木墙板上,显得暖意融融、十分温馨,服务员悄无声息地穿行于各餐桌间,悉心为华尔街的各路精英服务。捷足先登的巴里•迪勒(Barry Diller)正与附近餐桌的熟人闲聊,黑色西服及粉绿条纹相间的领带上还可见斑斑雨点。
