点评:The Narrow Gauge Train Ride in Portland, Main, was a huge disappointment. It is advertised as a 40-minute round trip along the waterfront complete with narration. That part is true – to a point. The train itself is charming, but the trip is one of those “is-that-all-there-is” experiences: a straight shot down the waterfront with a bit of background on the scenery (about 15 minutes), a stop at the end of the line with the opportunity to get off the train and enjoy the view (another 12 minutes or so), followed by a straight-line back-up to return to the station (another 15 minutes). Since the outbound route covered all there was to see and say about the area, the return narration was simply the history of narrow gauge rail development in Portland. Considering the expense (It wasn’t cheap!), we expected more. We loved everything else about Portland – the train ride, not so much!
翻译:在缅因州波特兰乘坐的窄轨火车之旅实在令人大失所望。宣传称这是一趟时长40分钟的环程之旅,沿途可欣赏海滨风光并配有讲解。这一点在某种程度上倒是属实。火车本身很可爱,但整个旅程却属于那种“就这点内容而已?”的类型:沿着海滨直线行驶,途中对周边景色稍作介绍(大约15分钟)。线路的终点站设有一个停靠点,乘客可以下车欣赏沿途景色(大约需要12分钟),之后再沿原路返回车站(约15分钟)。由于去程路线已经介绍了该地区所有值得一看、值得讲述的内容,回程时的讲解就只是关于波特兰窄轨铁路发展史的介绍而已。考虑到费用不菲(真的挺贵的!),我们原本期望能有更多内容。不过我们非常喜欢波特兰的其他一切——包括乘坐火车的体验。算不上吧!!
