For a city that gave divorce a bad name through its movie depiction of the ultimate ugly bust-up, Kramer vs. Kramer, the New York hearing of Murdoch vs. Murdoch went remarkably smoothly. There were no histrionics and no last-minute wrangles. 从《克莱默夫妇》一类电影对离婚的描绘中，我们可以看出纽约这座城市对离婚这种丑恶的最终决裂的嫌恶。然而默多克夫妇在纽约法院的离婚程序似乎格外顺利。没有做作的掩饰，也没有最后一分钟的博弈。 Even Ellen Gesmer, the judge presiding over the hearing at the New York supreme court in Manhattan, sounded relieved by its cordiality. “I’m glad you managed to settle this matter amicably,” she said, addressing herself to the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and his soon-to-be-ex wife Wendi Deng seated in front of her. 就连主持听证会的曼哈顿纽约高级法院大法官、艾伦·盖斯莫都对二人的友好态度感到如释重负。她对就坐于堂前的美国媒体大亨默多克与即将成为他前任妻子的邓文迪说，“我很高兴你们能友好的解决这一问题，” |
