Soldiers  in the trenches were packed so tightly that the virus had a perfect place to mutate.

战壕里士兵挤得水泄不通，病毒有了完美变异场所。

Again at eight o'clock, when the dark lanes of the Forties were five deep with throbbing taxi cabs, bound for the theatre district, I felt a sinking in my heart.

到了晚，第四十几街那边灯光昏黄，开向戏区出租车突突地响着，把五车道路挤得水泄不通，这时我心会再次感到怅惘。

Word that tensions might ease a bit in the capital came after protesters and their supporters spent the weekend jamming the streets with dance parties, bonfires and even an inflatable hot tub.

有消息称，首都紧张局势可能会有所缓解。此前抗议者及其支持者周末用舞会、篝火，甚至充气热水浴缸把街道挤得水泄不通。
