On a cold and dreary day last winter, I met Roubini over lunch in the TriBeCa neighborhood of New York City.

去年冬天的一天，天气寒冷阴沉，我和洛比尼在纽约市的翠贝卡共进午餐。

Outside the the freezing cold of winter rules and the dreary bay looks like a yawning abyss as the train rumbles across it.

窗外，冬日的酷寒肆虐着。随着列车呼啸而过。沉闷阴郁的海湾看起来像是裂开口子的深渊。
