A Special New York Story for
往事並不如煙，今年正逢九一一恐怖攻擊事件後的第二十五年，紐約下城區的世貿大樓旁的Ground Zero銘記逝者及其家屬、這座城市以至這個國家的傷痛。然而，那不僅是一座提醒著傷痛的遺址，隨此地出現的還有在悲痛後重建的社群、組織以及他們不問歲月更迭持續付出的善意，在人們看得見與看不見的地方發酵，造福更廣大的群眾。本文受訪者親身經歷九一一事件，本刊特別經受訪者以及原文出版社授權轉載編譯此文。

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. At Ground Zero, the memory of those lost—and the grief carried by their families, the city, and the nation—still endures.
Yet the site also tells a story of rebuilding: of communities, organizations, and acts of compassion that have continued to grow from tragedy and serve others in lasting ways.

幾分鐘前傳來的那聲巨響，也並非如米克起初所想，只是一輛垃圾車在樓下街道輾過坑洞。那是一次爆炸，揭開了自珍珠港事件以來，美國本土傷亡最慘重恐怖攻擊的序幕。而身處現場的米克，即將在九一一事件的「原爆點」親...

芝加哥百年館藏亮相紐約：中國藝術珍品限時登場
Chicago’s Century-Old Chinese Art Collection Comes to New York
在芝加哥藝術博物館珍藏逾百年的中國藝術，今秋亮相紐約。其中不少於20世紀初由收藏家與慈善家捐贈，展現明清御窯技藝，也見證了中國藝術走進美國博物館的歷程。此次拍賣焦點包括雍正粉彩蝠桃紋盌、商周青銅禮器、佛教造像與宮廷瓷器；另有逾110件博物館藏品於網拍中不設底價。

其中「雍正御製粉彩盌」，不只是一件瓷器傑作，更盛載層層祝福：五隻紅蝠象徵五福，六顆壽桃諧寓延年益壽，過枝花卉又寄託天下長治、或為祝賀皇帝萬壽而製。這是芝加哥藝術博物館此次釋出的53件瓷器之一；拍賣收益將用於拓展及維護亞洲藝術館藏。另有乾隆青花釉裡紅「佛獅」蒜頭瓶及宣德青花花果紋盌等珍品。
Chinese works of art preserved at the Art Institute of Chicago for generations will be presented in New York this fall. Acquired largely through early 20th-century gifts, they reflect both imperial craftsmanship and America’s growing appreciation of Chinese art.
A leading highlight is a Yongzheng famille rose “bats and peaches” bowl. Five red bats represent the Five Blessings, six peaches promise longevity, and its flowering branch conveys a wish for enduring peace—suggesting the bowl may have been created for an imperial birthday.
It is among 53 museum ceramics being offered to support the expansion and care of the Asian art collection. Other highlights include a Qianlong “Buddhist lions” vase, a Xuande fruit-and-flower bowl, ritual bronzes and Buddhist sculptures. More than 110 museum works will also be offered online without reserve.

自學成才的園藝家與景觀設計師瑞秋·蘭伯特·梅隆，曾為甘迺迪總統重新打造白宮玫瑰園，將這片空間化為優雅、親切而充滿生命力的「戶外辦公室」。

她的設計祕訣，在於拿捏秩序與自然隨性之間的完美平衡：精心挑選每一株植物，讓其融入環境，彷彿渾然天成。其中，木蘭是她最重要的靈感之一。她鍾愛木蘭淡雅、銀白色的樹皮，認為它彷彿能「留住夏日的光」，也欣賞枝條舒展開來的優美姿態。木蘭被種植在花園四個角落，即使寒冬時節依然動人，也柔化了白宮建築原本略顯冷峻的線條。

如今，她對自然、比例與美感的獨到理解，仍在橡泉花園基金會延續著。
A self-taught gardener and landscape designer, Rachel “Bunny” Mellon transformed the White House Rose Garden into an elegant, welcoming outdoor office for President Kennedy.

The secret to her success lay in finding the perfect balance between structure and spontaneity, allowing carefully chosen plants to blend naturally into their surroundings as if they had always belonged there. Today, her legacy lives on at Oak Spring Garden Foundation.

“Mrs. Mellon loved the Magnolias for their pale, silvery bark, which seemed to ‘retain the light of summer,’ and for the graceful way their branches fanned out. Planted at each of the garden’s four corners, they looked beautiful even in the depths of winter and softened the starkness of the White House.

‘Their presence changed the entire character of this empty space,’ Mrs. Mellon said. ‘These magnolias, my original inspiration, were not disappointing when they were in place. They gave life to what had been a cold, bleak space.’”

今天正式進入三伏天，你知道這將是利用中醫調理身心的重要時節嗎？
三伏天通常是一年之中氣溫最高且恩熱潮濕的日子，接下來從初伏至末伏，長達逾一個月的時間，被視為中醫冬病夏治的黃金期。近年來，越來越多人對於相對溫和的中醫調理感興趣，也有許多人定期至中醫診所做「艾灸」保養。

如果你還沒聽過，那麼你不會想錯過本季的最新文章，我們採訪了紐約大唐醫風中醫診所院長馮羅小潔，從中醫的基本醫理，到熱門的艾灸調理的介紹，幫助在紐約大都會生活的每個人，重拾更健康、輕盈的生活節奏！

Today marks the beginning of Sanfu, traditionally considered the hottest and most humid period of the year—and an important season for restoring balance through traditional Chinese medicine.

From the first to the final phase of Sanfu, this month-long period is regarded in TCM as a prime time for “treating winter conditions in summer.” As interest in gentler, preventive care continues to grow, more people are also turning to moxibustion as part of their regular wellness routine.

In our latest seasonal feature, we speak with Serene Feng, founder of PhoenixCare in New York, about the foundations of TCM and the increasingly popular practice of moxibustion—offering New Yorkers practical ways to rediscover a healthier rhythm of life.
