点评:My inquiry to Barry asked to see his Cornwall, not necessarily the BBC version. It is clear from many other reviews that he can show you the Cornwall of television and film. But if you want to see Cornwall through his eyes, ask him about the miners at Geevor, and see in his eyes the pride he has in the courage of those men.
Ask him how to split slate. Ask him what it is like to rebuild the timber framework of a roof and then slate it, knowing that roof will outlive you by a hundred years. Ask him what it was like to fish with his father, and visit with him the still-functioning fishing village of Cadgwith.
Barry loves Cornwall and takes enormous pride in its history and its contributions to the world. There is no better way to see a land than through the eyes of someone who loves it.
翻译:我向巴里提出请求,希望能看看他眼中的康沃尔——未必是BBC镜头下的那个康沃尔。从众多其他评论中不难看出,他完全能够向我们展示电视与电影里的康沃尔风貌。但倘若你想通过他的视角来了解康沃尔,那就问问他关于吉弗尔矿场的矿工们的事吧;届时你就能从他的眼神中,感受到他对那些矿工们勇气与坚韧的由衷钦佩。
还可以问他该如何劈开石板。也问问他:明知亲手重建的木制屋顶结构能经受上百年风雨而屹立不倒,重新铺设石板的过程又会带来怎样的感受呢?问问他与父亲一起钓鱼是什么体验,然后和他一同去参观至今仍在运作的卡德威斯渔村。
巴里深爱着康沃尔,为这里的历史以及它对世界的贡献感到无比自豪。要了解一片土地,没有比透过一个深爱它的人的眼睛去看更好的方式了。
