点评:We decided to add Sleepy Hollow into our road trip and the cemetery was top of the list. We love old cemeteries anyway, so it was a no-brainer. It wasn’t my favourite of the trip, but it’s still worth doing. It’s a massive cemetery, and you’re best off parking in two separate locations depending on which graves you want to see (Irving is closer to the church, whereas Carnegie is much further out). I love they provide you with a little map.
There were some very interesting gravestones here which I enjoyed exploring (I’ve attached a pic of one of my favourites). We also found the Eleanor Van Tassel stone which Irving based Katrina on - it’s right close to the church behind an iron fence.
It seems poignant than Irving based characters on stones he saw here, and then was buried in the same cemetery.
翻译:我们决定把沉睡谷(Sleepy Hollow)也纳入我们的公路之旅,而墓地是首选。反正我们都喜欢古老的墓地,所以毫不犹豫地就去了。虽然沉睡谷不是我此行最喜欢的地方,但还是值得一去。这是一个巨大的墓地,最好根据你想看的墓地,把车停在两个不同的位置(欧文墓地离教堂更近,而卡内基墓地则远得多)。我很喜欢他们提供的一张小地图。
这里有一些非常有趣的墓碑,我很喜欢探索(我附上了我最喜欢的一张)。我们还找到了埃莉诺·范·塔塞尔(Eleanor Van Tassel)的墓碑,欧文就是以它为原型创作了卡特里娜飓风的——它就在教堂附近,铁栅栏后面。
这比欧文根据他在这里看到的墓碑塑造人物,然后被埋葬在同一片墓地里更令人心酸。
