English translation (AI-generated)

New York, without trust.
In the default settings of the mind,
every stranger harbors a design to seize your money.
And so each person, even among companions,
cannot spare another the slightest bit.

Step on a foot in the subway,
and a fist comes straight at your face.
Yet a vagrant pisses in the street, and naked hurls himself against the cars,
and not a passerby pauses for even a moment.
It has all become ordinary.

In a city so cold and so unfeeling,
there are but two kinds of people:
those with money and those without;
and but two attitudes to life:
those living for money, and those driven mad by failing to get it.

纽约，没有信任。
在认知的默认设定里，
所有的陌生人，都有抢钱的企图。
于是每一个人，哪怕同伴之间，
也容不下另一个人的分毫

地铁踩到了脚，
迎面就是拳头。
而流浪汉在街头撒尿，赤裸着向汽车横冲直撞，
也没有路人片刻的停留。
一切都习以为常。

在一个如此冷漠和无情的城市，
人就这么两类：
有钱的和没钱的；
生活态度也就两类：
为了钱的和求钱不得而发疯的。
