点评:We are currently on holiday from Cornwall and staying in The Cotswolds.
Yesterday we arrived by coach as part of a day trip to Sudeley, a party of around forty of us—no small undertaking these days!
When we entered the shop our whole party was greeted by a lovely young lady who gave us some information about the site and the day ahead, she was very polite, warm, personable and made us feel very welcome indeed: dealing with a large group of grumpy OAPs (well some of us) Is no easy task but every question was answered and nothing was too much trouble - We were quite astonished to learn she had only been there a couple of weeks. A real credit to the place—many thanks to her.
The grounds themselves were beautifully kept and a genuine pleasure to stroll around at a leisurely pace. Being able to step inside the chapel and see the tomb of Katherine Parr felt rather special indeed—quite a privilege, really.
All in all, a most enjoyable outing. We shall certainly look forward to returning again in the future.

昨天我们乘坐大巴抵达苏德利,参加一日游。我们一行大约四十人——如今这可不是个小数目!
我们走进商店时,一位和蔼可亲的年轻女士热情地接待了我们。她向我们介绍了苏德利以及当天的行程安排。她非常礼貌、热情、亲切,让我们感到宾至如归。要应付一大群脾气不太好的老年人(好吧,其实我们当中有些人确实如此)可不是件容易的事,但她耐心解答了我们提出的每一个问题,而且有求必应。得知她才来这里工作几周,我们都感到非常惊讶。她真是苏德利的骄傲——非常感谢她!
苏德利庄园的庭院维护得非常漂亮,悠闲地漫步其中真是一种享受。能够走进教堂,瞻仰凯瑟琳·帕尔的墓碑,感觉非常特别——这真是一种荣幸。
总而言之,这是一次非常愉快的旅行。我们期待将来有机会再次光临。
