点评:I’ve been visiting Chester Zoo since I was about six or seven years old, and all these years later I still never tire of it. Rain or shine, busy or quiet, every visit is different — sometimes the animals put on quite a show, sometimes they clearly have other plans!
There really is something here for everyone, whatever your age. Take a picnic and make a day of it, or, like me with an annual pass, pop in for an hour just because you can. It’s a wonderful place to wander, enjoy the animals and simply see what the day brings.
And there’s so much more going on behind the scenes. Chester Zoo does incredible conservation work both at home and around the world, helping to protect endangered species, supporting breeding programmes and working to return threatened animals to the wild. Knowing that our visits and memberships help support that work makes going there feel even more worthwhile.
There’s a fascinating history behind the zoo too, stretching back nearly a century.
After well over 50 years of visits, it’s still entertaining me — and I think that probably says it all. 🦁🐘🦒
翻译:我从六七岁起就开始去切斯特动物园,这么多年过去了,我依然百看不厌。无论晴雨,无论人多还是人少,每次参观都有不一样的体验——有时动物们会上演一场精彩的“表演”,有时它们则显然另有打算!
无论年纪大小,这里总能满足所有人的喜好。带上野餐食物,尽情享受一整天;或者像我这样持有年卡的人,随时都可以抽出一个小时来逛逛。这真是一个适合漫步闲逛的绝佳去处。尽情欣赏那些动物吧,看看这一天还会带来什么惊喜。
其实,幕后还有很多事情在发生呢。切斯特动物园在国内外都开展着卓越的保护工作:保护濒危物种、协助繁育计划,并努力让那些面临灭绝危险的动物重返大自然。想到我们的参观和会员资格能为这些工作提供帮助,去那里就显得更有意义了。
这座动物园本身也有着引人入胜的历史呢。历史悠久,几乎有一个世纪之久了。
在反复观看了50多年后,它依然能带给我乐趣——我想这就已经说明一切了。🦁🐘🦒
