标题:As new jobs in finance dry up, New York City’s fiscal model is wilting
正文:At 270 PARK AVENUE in midtown Manhattan, employees have moved into the immense new headquarters of JPMorgan Chase. The building boasts 2.5m square feet of office space and is almost 1,400 feet tall—more or less the same as the Empire State Building. Measuring an entire city block across, and built by a bank whose market capitalisation is climbing towards $1trn, the building gives the impression of unshakable dominion. For more than two centuries New York City has been a behemoth of trading, banking and money-management and an imposing gateway to capital markets for America and the world.
知识点:midtown n. /ˈmɪdˌtaʊn/
the central part of a city, between uptown and downtown 市中心区
• The new office building is located in midtown Manhattan.

• We decided to stay in a midtown hotel for convenience.
为了方便起见,我们决定住在市中心的酒店。
