点评:We toured with Mena for two of the seven days we are spending along the Nile. He is an excellent guide. First, he really knows his stuff, and is an excellent story teller, recounting the old legends in a way that really brings the carvings or statues that you are looking at to life. To appreciate the temples and tombs that you will visit, you need to engage your imagination , and his approach helps you to do that. Second, he is very good company, and that is important if you plan to spend the whole day with him . He speaks perfect fluent idiomatic English. He is interested in you and your lives, but not in an intrusive way. If you want to have a conversation he is open and easy to talk with, but if you would rather sit and watch the world go by, he doesn’t feel the need to fill the silence. This is quite a refreshing contrast with other guide experiences we have had. We didn’t have any kids with us, but if we ever bring the grandchildren here, we will definitely ask for Mena again.
翻译:我们在尼罗河畔的七天行程中,有两天是由梅纳带队游览的。他是一位非常优秀的导游。首先,他知识渊博,而且是一位出色的故事讲述者,他讲述的古老传说栩栩如生,仿佛让眼前的雕刻或雕像都活了过来。想要真正欣赏即将参观的寺庙和陵墓,你需要调动想象力,而他的讲解方式恰好能帮助你做到这一点。其次,他非常健谈,如果你打算和他一起度过一整天,这一点就显得尤为重要。他的英语非常流利地道。他对你和你的生活很感兴趣,但又不会过分打扰。如果你想聊天,他会很乐意与你交谈;但如果你只想静静地坐着,欣赏沿途的风景,他也不会刻意打破沉默。这与我们之前遇到的其他导游截然不同,令人耳目一新。我们这次没有带孩子,但如果以后有机会带孙辈来这里,我们一定会再次选择梅纳作为导游。
