点评:I’ve been wanting to come here for years as we often see the castle from the Amtrak train ride between Albany and New York City. I’ve been very curious about it and the tour was very interesting and informative.
Unfortunately, my friends and I were disappointed that the tour went on in the pouring rain. Even with umbrellas and rain jackets, we got soaked. Yes, it was still nice to see the flowers in the gardens, but it would’ve been so much more enjoyable if we hadn’t spent half the time trying to avoid stepping in lots of big puddles and mud on the oaths. There was little visibility on the boat ride out and all the seats were wet, so we think they should’ve canceled the trip. Or perhaps it would have been nice if they provided complimentary coffee, tea or hot chocolate to everyone to take the chill off. Frankly, we would not have gone but didn’t want to lose the money we spent on the tickets. So we made the most of it.
翻译:多年来我一直希望能来这里,因为我们经常在从奥尔巴尼前往纽约市的阿姆特拉克列车上看到这座城堡。我一直对它充满好奇,而这次参观也确实既有趣又涨知识。
遗憾的是,由于参观过程是在倾盆大雨中进行的,我和朋友们都颇感失望。尽管我们带了雨伞和雨衣,还是被淋得透湿。不过,能看到花园里的花朵,倒也算是件乐事吧。不过,如果我们不必花一半的时间来设法避开小径上那些大水坑和泥泞的话,这次体验肯定会愉快得多。乘船出海时能见度极差,而且所有座位都湿透了,所以我们觉得他们本应该取消这次行程。又或者,如果能为每位游客提供免费的咖啡、茶或热巧克力来驱寒,那就更好了。坦率地说,我们本来是不会去的,只是不想浪费买门票的钱罢了。所以我们充分利用了这个机会。
