Great site, signage tired
Fishbourne Roman Palace & Gardens的点评
点评:This is an interesting site and there is much to see. We also found the staff genuinely friendly and welcoming. It is a shame that much of the signage is now very tired - some almost illegible through age and others hard to read. This has not been renewed in probably well over a decade. Luckily the mosaics have weathered that time rather better. Additionally we found it quite hard for a seven year old to comprehend - I am a great fan of proper English but here simpler words could have been used e.g. several references to polychrome on signs (when “colour”) would have done the trick. They are clearly making an effort to include children, so amending the signage so it is legible and can be understood by a seven year old would be well worthwhile.
I wouldn’t want to put anyone off visiting a truly important site but I hope these suggestions can be considered
翻译:这是一个很有趣的景点,值得细细游览。我们也发现工作人员十分友善且热情好客。可惜的是,大部分指示牌都显得破旧不堪——有些因年代久远而几乎无法辨认,有些则难以阅读。这些指示牌恐怕已有十多年未曾更新过了。所幸的是,那些马赛克装饰品经受住了时间的考验,保存得还算不错。此外,我们发现一个七岁的孩子很难理解这些内容——我虽然很推崇规范的英语表达,但在这里使用更简单的词汇会更好。比如,标志牌上有好几处提到了“polychrome”(多色的),其实用“colour”就能达到同样的效果。显然,他们也在努力让儿童能够参与进来,因此修改标志牌上的文字,使其易于阅读且能被七岁的孩子理解,绝对是值得做的。我并不想阻止任何人去参观一个真正重要的景点,但我希望这些建议能被考虑。
