点评:My two friends and I visited Haworth after many years of planning. I booked a guided walk with Johnnie Briggs. Our day with him and his colleague Stuart was most enjoyable. Johnnie led us through the town while Stuart guided us on the moors. Johnnie, a mine of local history and a Bronte expert, led us through the town entertaining us with tales of Haworth's past from its mean back streets to its hey day as an international trading route. Johnnie's well informed and deeply psychological take on life on the Bronte family and on life in the parsonage prepared us well for our visit. We visited the parsonage, the town, the cemetery and the old post office. Later in the afternoon, we were collected by Stuart and we walked up the moors to Top Withens which is thought to be the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. Stuart was equally impressive informing us not just about the literary heritage of the area but also about nature and environment and the ongoing task of preserving the moors. Stuart also brought us to Ponden Hall. All in all, we were more than happy with our experience and would certainly recommend it to those who wish to enjoy the richness of a place that is so beautiful and historic.

翻译:我和两个朋友经过多年的筹划,终于来到了霍沃斯。我预订了约翰尼·布里格斯的导览徒步之旅。我们和他以及他的同事斯图尔特一起度过了非常愉快的一天。约翰尼带我们游览小镇,斯图尔特则带我们游览荒原。约翰尼是当地历史的专家,也是勃朗特文学的专家,他带领我们游览小镇,为我们讲述了霍沃斯从穷乡僻壤到作为国际贸易要道的鼎盛时期的精彩故事。约翰尼对勃朗特家族和牧师住宅生活的深入解读,为我们做好了充分的心理准备。我们参观了牧师住宅、小镇、墓地和旧邮局。下午晚些时候,斯图尔特来接我们,我们沿着荒原步行前往托普威森斯,据说那里是《呼啸山庄》的灵感来源。斯图尔特同样令人印象深刻,他不仅向我们介绍了当地的文学遗产,还向我们介绍了自然、环境以及正在进行的荒原保护工作。斯图尔特还带我们去了庞登庄园。总而言之,我们对这次体验非常满意,一定会推荐给那些想体验这片美丽而历史悠久的土地的人。
