点评:Trinity college has some nice buildings, but nothing too gorgeous. There’s a ton of colleges in the U.S. with pretty campuses. There’s some interesting stories, but much is missing. For example, our college student tour guide mentioned that Debate Societies are big there but she didn’t mention any type of topics the students debate. She mentioned some prior celebrities who went to college there or visited. She told us an interesting story in which 4 students killed another student and got expelled but then moved up into high positions in Parliament.
The Book of Kells was SUPER underwhelming. It’s just opened to 2 pages like when you open a normal book and some colors on some letters. I was expecting to at least see some beautiful drawings in the book. The museum leading up to the real book was underwhelming too.
The most beautiful area is definitely the library. It would be SO BEAUTIFUL and I would hav given this tour a higher ranking if all of the book shelves had books in it. They're going through a 5-year restoration project where the books will be off of the shelves to be preserved. It didn’t feel too special only seeing 5 rows of old books instead of the normal 100. There were some cool marble head statues and a random Earth globe.
I don’t think you even need to visit Trinity College until the Restoration Project is completed. Other things like visiting the Guinness Storehouse are much better!
翻译:三一学院有一些不错的建筑,但并没有什么特别惊艳之处。美国有很多大学都拥有漂亮的校园。这里有一些有趣的故事,但很多内容都缺失了。例如,我们的大学导游提到辩论社在那里很活跃,但她没有提到学生们辩论的具体议题。她提到了一些曾经就读或访问过该校的名人。她给我们讲了一个有趣的故事:四个学生杀害了另一个学生,被开除后却在议会中身居要职。
《凯尔经》令人非常失望。它只是像普通书一样翻开两页,上面有一些字母涂了颜色。我原本期待至少能看到一些精美的插图。通往真书的博物馆也同样令人失望。
最美的地方无疑是图书馆。如果所有书架上都摆满了书,那将会非常漂亮,我会给这次参观更高的评价。他们正在进行一项为期五年的修复工程,届时书架上的书籍将被取下进行保护。只看到五排古书而不是通常的一百排,感觉没什么特别的。那里有一些很酷的大理石头像和一个不知名的地球仪。
我觉得在修复工程完成之前,你根本没必要去三一学院。去吉尼斯啤酒展览馆之类的地方要好得多!
