点评:The cathedral is lovely and it has some great graffiti if you like looking for that kind of thing, as I do.
However, one thing that lets it down are some of the volunteers. Upon arriving early I saw a woman with blonde hair going into the cathedral. It was early, but I didn’t yet know what time it opened. I went to ask her for help and she looked at me as though I was scum on her shoe. I asked if she worked at the cathedral and she abruptly told me, ‘No! I volunteer here!’. I was stunned by her tone. It was so abrasive and rude. After a couple of seconds silence she tried to hurry me up to find out what I wanted. I told her, reeling a little, that I just wanted some information. She eventually gave me opening times.
That was my first impression and experience of the cathedral.
Then, once inside, I felt as though some of the other volunteers were disapproving and abrupt. It wasn’t a very welcoming experience. It seemed to me that they had a very elevated sense of self-importance. I felt talked down to, as though I was a child. All I wanted was to see the cathedral. I managed to see everything in my own time. Without their help.
Not all volunteers are like this, I’m sure. Perhaps I had an unlucky day. But I doubt I’ll return.
翻译:这座大教堂非常漂亮,如果你也像我一样喜欢寻找涂鸦的话,这里有不少很棒的涂鸦作品呢。
不过,有些志愿者的表现实在让人失望。我早早地就到了那里,看到一位金发女子走进了大教堂。当时时间还早,我还不知道教堂几点开门。我走过去想向她求助,她却用一种仿佛我是她鞋上的污渍般的眼神看着我。我问她是否在教堂工作,她立刻冷冷地回答道:“不!我是这里的义务工作者!”她的语气让我震惊不已——实在是粗鲁又无礼。沉默了几秒钟后,她便急着催我说出需求。我有些局促地告诉她,我只是想了解一些信息而已。最终,她告诉我了开放时间。
那便是我对这座大教堂的第一印象与体验。
随后,进入大教堂后,我感觉其他一些志愿者也显得不太友善、态度生硬。整体的体验实在算不上友好。在我看来,他们有着极其强烈的自负心理。他们说话的口气就像在训斥我,仿佛我是个小孩子。我只不过想参观大教堂而已。最后我靠自己顺利参观了所有地方,根本不需要他们的帮助。
我确信,并非所有志愿者都是这样。或许那天我运气不好罢了。不过,我大概不会再回来了。
