点评:So, the first time we came back to York, we baulked at the price of entrance - £20 each. But what felt very expensive then, when compared to the entrance fees for other attractions of similar ilk, is actually pretty good value given we burned more than 3 hours immersed in and entranced by the numinous building, its wonderful contents and especially (for us non-religious types) the architectural exhibition in the crypt, comparing the long lost Roman fortress with the old and new minsters over the centuries. The Chapter House was also a highlight, with a massive self-supporting roof opening up the space for some quiet contemplative time.
We were fortunate enough to have the afternoon soundtracked by the rehearsals of the university orchestra and choir practicing for their performance that evening. My God, the acoustics are just stunning!
翻译:所以,我们第一次回到约克时,看到门票价格——每人20英镑——就有点犹豫了。但当时觉得很贵的,跟其他类似景点的门票相比,其实物有所值。因为我们在这座神圣的建筑里待了三个多小时,被它精美的藏品深深吸引,尤其是(对我们这些非宗教人士来说)地下室的建筑展览,展览对比了几个世纪以来古罗马要塞与新旧教堂的变迁。教堂的会议厅也是一大亮点,巨大的自支撑屋顶营造出一个可以静心沉思的空间。
我们很幸运,下午的时候正好听到大学管弦乐队和合唱团为晚上演出排练。天哪,音响效果简直太棒了!
