点评:We recently took an in-depth tour of Mount Vernon with our guide, Conner, and it was an incredible experience. It was clear how passionate and knowledgeable he was about the life of George Washington and the rich history of Mount Vernon. Conner didn’t just focus on the highlights. He gave a well-rounded perspective of Washington’s life, sharing both the positive contributions and the more difficult and complex aspects, including his relationship with slave labor.
I was initially nervous about going because I had heard mixed reviews due to the house being under construction. However, our family felt that the mansion was actually just a small part of the entire experience. The grounds were expansive and full of history, from the wharf and the working farm to the surrounding woods, outbuildings, and the enslaved workers’ quarters. There was so much to learn and see.
Our whole family loved the trip and would absolutely recommend it to others.
翻译:我们最近在导游康纳的带领下深度游览了弗农山庄,这是一次难忘的体验。康纳对乔治·华盛顿的生平以及弗农山庄丰富的历史充满热情,知识渊博。他并没有只关注亮点,而是全面地展现了华盛顿的人生,既分享了他的积极贡献,也分享了他与奴隶劳工的关系等一些更为艰辛复杂的方面。
起初,我有点紧张,因为房子还在建设中,之前听到的评价褒贬不一。然而,我们一家人觉得,这座宅邸其实只是整个体验的一小部分。庄园面积广阔,充满了历史的韵味,从码头、农场到周围的树林、附属建筑以及奴隶工人的宿舍,应有尽有。这里有太多值得学习和欣赏的地方。
我们全家都很喜欢这次旅行,绝对会推荐给其他人。
