点评:One of the highlights of our group tour to New England was a visit to West Point Military Academy. We did not take a commercial tour. Our director brought on a guide authorized by the academy, who gave us information and history and showed us various features. We went to the Cadet Chapel, the overlook over the Hudson, saw various monuments, the West Point Chain, Michie Stadium, etc. I was most impressed with the Cadet Chapel, and the items at the hill where the West Point Chain is--with monuments, the Chain, beautiful views of the Hudson River, benches with various character traits inscribed, etc. The museum, which is being refurbished, and not open yet for the day when we arrived. The visitor’s center was open and interesting. The gift shop was mainly sports and military oriented clothing and gifts and wasn’t of huge interest to me. The campus as a whole is beautiful and historic. Not only is it a college providing a military and a comprehensive education, but also an active military base. I believe there was a security clearance required, but our tour director had given them the needed information ahead of time.
翻译:我们新英格兰团体游的亮点之一是参观西点军校。我们没有参加商业旅游。我们的导游带来了一名由军校授权的导游,他向我们介绍了信息和历史,并向我们展示了各种特色。我们去了军校学员教堂,俯瞰哈德逊河,看到了各种纪念碑、西点军校链、米奇体育场等。我印象最深的是军校学员教堂,以及西点军校链所在的山上的物品——有纪念碑、链、哈德逊河的美丽景色、刻有各种人物特征的长椅等。博物馆正在翻新,我们到达的那天还没有开放。游客中心开放且有趣。礼品店主要出售运动和军事服装和礼品,我对此并不感兴趣。整个校园美丽而富有历史感。它不仅是一所提供军事和综合教育的大学,还是一个现役军事基地。我相信需要安全许可,但我们的导游已经提前向他们提供了所需的信息。
