点评:If you can only visit one cultural spot while in New York, make it The Met. No matter how high your expectations are going in, this place simply exceeds them the moment you step through the main hall.
It’s massive, but every gallery has something that makes you stop dead in your tracks. Standing inside the wing with the Temple of Dendur, with the sun streaming through the glass windows over the water, is an unforgettable experience. The European paintings and the Arms and Armor hall are equally breathtaking—you could easily wander for hours and still feel like you've only seen a fraction of what’s there.
A special shout-out to the staff, too. In a place that big, you might expect it to feel impersonal, but every docent and security guard we asked for directions was remarkably warm, patient, and clearly proud to work there.
Give yourself plenty of time and soak it in—an absolute must-do in NYC.
翻译:如果你在纽约只能参观一处文化景点,那就一定要去大都会艺术博物馆。无论你事先抱有多高的期待,只要一踏入主厅,这里的一切定会超出你的想象。
博物馆规模宏大,但每个展厅都有令人驻足流连的佳作。置身于陈列着丹德儿神庙的展厅中,阳光透过玻璃窗洒在水面上,这种体验实在令人终生难忘。欧洲的油画展区以及武器与盔甲展厅同样令人叹为观止——你即便逛上好几个小时,也依然会觉得自己只看到了其中的一小部分罢了。
还要特别表扬一下这里的工作人员。在如此庞大的场馆里,你或许会以为服务会显得冷漠生硬,但实际上,每位为我们指路的导游和保安都极其热情、耐心,显然也为能在这里工作而深感自豪。
务必预留充足的时间慢慢欣赏吧——这绝对是来纽约不可错过的体验。
