Set against the dull, poster-muffled shop Fronts around them, Fred and Georges windows hit the eye like a firework display.

周围店铺的门脸都暗淡无光，被通告埋没了，而弗雷德和乔治的橱窗像烟火展览一样吸引着人们的眼球。

The buildings in this part of Washington Heights looked exhausted: boarded-up shop fronts with sagging fire escapes, liquor shops, fried-chicken shops, and beauty salons with curled and faded pictures of outdated hairstyles in the windows.

——华盛顿高地这一带的建筑看起来破旧不堪：用木板封起来的店面、走火通道下垂、酒类商店、炸鸡店，以及橱窗里挂着卷曲褪色的过时发型照片的美容院。
