点评:I live three miles away in Harborne, I visit Halesowen at least once a week for all the things Harbore (sic) lacks. Shopping centres don't set my pulse racing like a favourite pub or restaurant, but I can't see anything wrong with the Cornbow: I've given it five to counter the three folks who gave it only two. Harborne doesn't have a shopping centre so no shelter in bad weather. I get most of my groceries from the ASDA, it's better than the one nearer to me in Bartley Green as it's on two floors, has a pharmacy and much bigger clothes department. If I have photocopying to do I always use Halesowen library because unlike Harborne it doesn't close for an hour at lunch time. I buy my Christmas related stuff from Card Factory as Harborne doesn't have a branch.
Once all my shopping is done it's hot foot to the excellent Wetherspoon The William Shenstone, which isn't in the Cornbow but is just a minutes walk away. Harborne, I need hardly add, doesn't have a Wetherspoon.
翻译:我住在三英里外的哈伯恩,每周至少去一次黑尔索文,因为哈伯恩缺少很多东西。购物中心不像我最喜欢的酒吧或餐厅那样让我心动,但我对康博购物中心(Cornbow)没什么意见:我给了它五星好评,以平衡那三个只给两星的人。哈伯恩没有购物中心,所以天气不好时没有地方可以躲雨。我大部分的食品杂货都在阿斯达超市(ASDA)买,它比离我家更近的巴特利格林(Bartley Green)那家好,因为它有两层楼,有药房,而且服装部也大得多。如果需要复印,我总是去黑尔索文图书馆,因为它不像哈伯恩那样中午关门一个小时。我的圣诞用品都是在卡片工厂(Card Factory)买的,因为哈伯恩没有分店。
买完东西后,我会赶紧去很棒的威廉·申斯通酒吧(Wetherspoon The William Shenstone),它不在康博购物中心里,但步行几分钟就能到。我几乎无需赘言,哈伯恩没有 Wetherspoon 酒吧。
