点评:I came to Awashima ‘Marine Park’ with a friend fanatic of Love Live. I was told that we would be visiting the “most depressing aquarium in the country” but what followed was much worse.
We were greeted upon arrival with penguins who looked as if they were on the brink of emaciation, rooted to the spot in an effort to conserve what little energy remained. Entering the aquarium, a dead fish rotted beneath the shallow waters of the swimming pool which looked fit for perhaps a small dog - yet which housed scores of fish (one being a shark whose fin had been worn down through what we can only presume was years of swimming around the brink of the enclosure).
Other highlights from inside included several fish laying upon the sand - maybe dead, maybe not (it was hard to tell) - spider crabs, static, as they had no room to move, and a ‘touching exhibit’ including another shark who had resigned itself to a life of misery being violently manhandled by tourists.
Outside, the scenes weren’t any less shocking. Two turtles clearly yearned for freedom, one, with a degree of futility, attempting to summit the rocks caging it in, and the other stood firm in the corner, gaining the energy to mount one final escape attempt. The sea-lions were trapped in aquified prison cells, desperately swimming in circles, the diameters of which less than the sea-lions’ own length - one also looked dead.
A further penguin exhibit proved just as harrowing. Two penguins were frantically trying to escape the watery box which they had been given to swim in, while the murky waters of the other area looked to have housed some sort of exotic waterborne disease.
Cheap beer.
2 stars.
翻译:我和一位Love Live的狂热粉丝朋友一起来到了淡岛“海洋公园”。我被告知我们将参观“日本最令人沮丧的水族馆”,但接下来的体验却更加糟糕。
抵达后,迎接我们的是一群看起来濒临消瘦的企鹅,它们僵在原地,努力保存着仅存的一点体力。走进水族馆,一条死鱼在浅水池下腐烂,看起来或许只够一只小狗待着——然而,这里却栖息着数十条鱼(其中一条是鲨鱼,它的鳍已经被磨损,我们只能推测是多年来在围栏边缘游动造成的)。
馆内其他亮点包括几条躺在沙滩上的鱼——可能死了,也可能没死(很难说);蜘蛛蟹,一动不动,因为它们没有活动的空间;以及一个“感人”的展品,其中还有一条鲨鱼,它已经甘愿承受着被游客粗暴对待的痛苦生活。
外面的景象同样令人震惊。两只海龟显然渴望自由,其中一只徒劳地试图爬上囚禁它的岩石,另一只则稳稳地站在角落里,积蓄力量,准备进行最后一次逃脱尝试。海狮被困在水牢里,拼命地绕着圈子游动,圈的直径还小于海狮自身的长度——其中一只看起来也已经死了。
另一个企鹅展区也同样令人毛骨悚然。两只企鹅正疯狂地试图逃离它们被安排在里面游泳的水箱,而另一侧浑浊的海水似乎滋生了某种外来的水传播疾病。
廉价啤酒。
2星。
