【正文】 he slaughter in my native New York dominate my thoughts. It makes it hard to concentrate on work, and it makes the everyday things seem so trivial. Only now, twentyfour hours after the tragedy began to unfold, have I begun to realize how this has affected me on so many levels.As an American, I feel threatened and confused, where only yesterday I felt proud and invincible (不可戰(zhàn)勝的). As a citizen of the global munity, I have been shocked into the reality of the reach of global terrorism. As a human being, I am appalled at the cruelty and inhumanity of these acts of terrorism.

Surely our lives will be different now. We may be more aware, more inconvenienced, more insecure. But we must learn to deal with this tragedy and to move on, to live our lives as fully and as entirely as before.
