"BACK to business as usual" was the rallying cry taken up by New Yorkers a year ago, after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Centre. Remarkably, a sort of normality has returned to the city. The first few months after the attack were dreadful, but the new year brought new hope, tourists and businessmen started to return, the hotels and Broadway shows began to fill up. This summer, the city’s economy has reportedly resumed growth after a deep recession.
Even so, it would be wrong to conclude that life has returned to normal. New York remains consumed with grief for the thousands of lives lost, remembered this week in countless services throughout the city-big and small, private and public. The most moving was the reading of the names of each murdered individual, which came just after one minute’s silence was observed at 8:46 a.m. on September 11th, the exact anniversary of the first plane hitting the first tower. Can New York ever have been so quiet?
【T1】
There was a brief moment of collective panic around Memorial Day in late May, after the federal government started sharing its fears that terrorists might target cities with weapons of mass destruction and the New York Times Magazine ran a cover story exploring what might happen if a dirty nuclear bomb went off in Times Square.
But this week’s ceremonies have pushed these fears once more to the forefront of people’s minds.
How can New Yorkers achieve the "closure" most of them yearn for when they know that those who took their friends and colleagues could at any moment come back for them?
【T2】
There will be a collective sigh of relief once this anniversary week has been(hopefully)safely negotiated, but most New Yorkers will not forget that what made the city such an attractive target a year ago continues to make it the likeliest focus for any future attack in America.
The city’s boosters claim that people were bonded more closely than ever to the Big Apple by the communal pulling together of the recovery effort.
【T3】
It is debatable whether this would have happened if the terrorists had struck again, or had done so more effectively than with the few anthrax-carrying(含有炭疽病毒)letters that were received last October from still-unknown authors.
For now, the lure of New York has persuaded most of its inhabitants to gamble that September 11th was a one-off.
Such calculations surely overstate the terrorist impact, because they assume that the attack stopped a nascent economic up-turn in its tracks. That gives insufficient weight to the damage that Wall Street would have suffered anyway due to the crisis of investor confidence following the collapse of Enron, the accounting scandals and so forth.

答案
如果恐怖分子再次发动攻击,或袭击比去年10月收到的含有炭疽病毒的匿名来信更加可怕,公众能否如此团结,这值得怀疑。
