哎，我觉得新天地这种利用上海的老式石库门建筑来构造的娱乐场所，虽然很有特色，但却少了石库门作为一种民居而包含的人文情怀。不过那些斑驳的墙，生锈的栅栏，黑漆的木门，���去油漆的石柱，凹凸不平的路面，还是能让人体会到一些石库门弄堂的沧桑的。

Oh, I think that though it's very distinctive, architecture like Xin Tian Di that uses old-style shikumen to create entertainment venues loses some of the spirit of humanity that comes from having people living in a place. But those mottled walls, rusty railings, black-lacquered wooden doors, black-painted stone pillars and uneven roads still give you a sense of the big changes in the shikumen.
