点评:We’d already visited the Museum a few times, there’s always something new to look at, as they seem to be constantly improving the displays. Lots of button pushes and a colouring table for children too.
However our trip today was to do the hard hat tour of the underground vaults.
After a thorough health and safety briefing we donned our hard hats and high vis jackets. After walking down a path, we descending a short vertical ladder, not half as scary as they make it sound in the description, to reach the entrance to the vault. As you enter and look up, it’s almost breathtaking, the very idea that Victorian engines built this and it had laid undisturbed for years, makes you feel like you’re touch history.
Our two tour guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, not just following a script but able to answer questions and gearing their banter to include all the different ages of our group.
翻译:我们之前已经参观过这座博物馆好几次了,那里总有一些新展品可供观赏,看来他们一直在改进展览内容。馆内还有很多按钮可以操作,也为孩子们准备了一张涂色桌。
不过,今天我们的任务是参观地下的保险库——也就是所谓的“安全帽之旅”。
在接受了全面的健康与安全培训后,我们戴上了安全帽和反光背心。沿着一条小路走了一段后,我们顺着一架垂直的梯子 descend下去。要到达地窖的入口,其实并没有描述中说得那么恐怖。一走进去抬头仰望,景象简直令人惊叹不已——想想看,这些可是维多利亚时期的机器建造出来的工程,而且多年来一直未受干扰地保存着,这种感觉就像是亲手触碰到了历史。
我们的两位导游知识渊博又热情洋溢,他们并非照本宣科,而是能自如地回答各种问题,还根据我们团队中不同年龄层的游客调整自己的谈吐风格,让每个人都乐在其中。
