点评:I visited White Pond in August 2026. The experience was pretty unpleasant—crowds of people and dogs, loud noise (with different music blasting from every corner), and filth (people litter both on the shore and in the water—cans, chip bags, ice cream cups. They leave behind damaged inflatables, wet underwear, diapers...). There were no parking spaces, and everyone was jostling to inflate their inflatables and squeeze their way to the ramp. At the ramp, children were splashing around in mud and seaweed alongside a couple of dogs. The water was murky and brown, and the shallows were completely choked with seaweed, making swimming impossible. After getting out of the water, my whole body was covered in the silt and muck suspended in it. If this is what city dwellers consider "recreation in nature," then I feel sorry for them...
翻译:我在2026年8月去参观了白池塘。这次体验相当糟糕——人山人海,狗也很多;噪音震耳欲聋(各个角落都在播放着不同的音乐);环境污秽不堪(岸上和水里到处都是垃圾——罐头盒、薯片袋、冰淇淋杯。还有损坏的充气玩具、湿掉的内衣和尿布……)。停车场早已停满车辆,人们争着给充气玩具充气,然后挤向滑水道入口。在滑水道那里……孩子们在几只狗的陪伴下,在泥水与海藻中嬉戏。水浑浊呈棕色,浅水区则被海藻完全堵塞,根本无法游泳。从水里出来后,我的全身都沾满了水中悬浮的淤泥和脏物。如果这就是都市人所认为的“亲近自然的休闲方式”,那我真为他们感到悲哀……
