点评:We had booked an ENGLISH private tour guide to take us around Seoul. He was a wonderful man and even carried our bags for us when we went shopping. BUT....on our first shopping trip, he dropped us off and left us to fend for ourselves. He left us for 1 hour in a place where no one spoke English. The purpose of having him, was to go with us everywhere and help us when we needed an interpreter. Store owners were talking to us and we had no idea what they were saying. NEXT, John barely spoke English. We understood about one word in every four words. We paid a lot of money for a private English speaking tour guide to help us around Seoul. It was sooooo hard to communicate with him because of his lack of English. I had to use my interpeter application on my phone in order to communicate with John. What's the use of paying tons of money for an English speaking guide when the guide doesn't understand NOR speak English????? Make sure that you insist that the person is FLUENT in English before paying all that money for nothing.
翻译:我们预订了一位英语私人导游带我们游览首尔。他是个很棒的人,购物时甚至还帮我们提行李。但是……第一次购物时,他把我们送到目的地就走了,让我们自己想办法。他把我们留在一个没人说英语的地方整整一个小时。我们请他的目的就是让他陪同我们,并在我们需要翻译时提供帮助。店主们跟我们说话,我们却完全听不懂。而且,约翰的英语也说得非常差。我们大概每四个词才能听懂一个。我们花了大价钱请了一位英语导游带我们游览首尔,结果却因为他的英语太差而沟通起来非常困难。我不得不使用手机上的翻译软件才能和约翰交流。花那么多钱请一位既不懂英语又不会说英语的导游,这有什么用呢?一定要确保你选择的导游英语流利,否则你花那么多钱却得不到任何帮助。
