点评:Last Thursday my girlfriend and I went to Knaresborough and whilst there we thought we would go boating.
We did this through Knaresborough Boats (Blenkhorn’s Boat Hire), and we had an experience from hell.
Firstly at no point was a life jacket offered to us, we have a right for the provider to offer them to us yet he didn't.
Secondly, we were only given incredibly basic instructions move this oar this way and this oar that way to go backwards and forwards, we were not given instructions on river safety, what to do in the event someone went in overboard, even basic things like how to turn.
Thirdly, after we set off we quickly got stuck against a wall along the river bank and were so unsure of how to get back to the dock which was not far away that we were noticeably distressed.
Fourthly, we were stuck because as I said above we were not told how to turn, eventually we did turn around and managed to one oar row back to where we supposed to get out. However, the guy running it made us row down further and do the complicated process of docking it, we clearly didn't know what we were doing and were using one oar, he could at any point have stepped in to help but didn't.
Fifthly, my girlfriend became panicked and was hyperventilating on the boat as she was worried it would tip over, as all the man had said was don't move around as it might tip it over he had not explained further. Moreover, after we got off the boat and walked back towards the church I suffered a large scale panic attack due to the stress of the experience and how I too became worried about falling in or us falling in.
A horrible experience
翻译:上周四,我和女友去了克纳雷斯伯勒,在那里我们决定去划船。
我们是通过克纳雷斯伯勒船只租赁服务(布伦克霍恩船艇出租)来安排的,结果经历了一场噩梦。
首先,他们根本没有向我们提供救生衣。作为顾客,我们有权获得救生衣,但他们却没有提供。
其次,他们只给了我们极其基础的指导——把这只桨这样动、另一只桨那样动就能前后移动而已。我们没有得到任何关于河流安全的指导,也不知道如果有人落水该怎么做,甚至连如何掉头这类最基本的操作也无人告知。
第三,出发后我们很快就卡在了河岸边的墙壁上,由于完全不知道如何返回不远的码头,我们显得极为慌乱。
第四,我们之所以动弹不得,正如我上面所说,是因为没人告诉我们该如何掉头。最终我们掉转船头,设法用一只桨划回了我们认为应该下船的地方。然而,负责指挥的人却让我们继续划得更远,然后完成一系列复杂的靠泊步骤。显然我们根本不知道该怎么做,而且当时只用了一只桨;他本可以随时过来帮忙,但却没有这么做。
第五,我的女友惊慌失措,因为在担心船会翻掉,她在船上出现了呼吸急促的情况。那个人只是说“别乱动,否则可能会把船弄翻”,并没有进一步解释。此外,我们下船后往教堂走去时,由于刚才经历带来的压力,再加上我也开始担心自己或其他人会掉进水里,我发作了一次大规模的恐慌症。
一次糟糕透顶的经历。
