点评:Iceland has lost too much of the authenticity that made it so attractive to visit in the first place, with its once enviable natural beauty and rich culture wrecked and trampled due to the boom in global tourism. Gullfoss and Geysir, the original cornerstones of Icelandic tourism, are now places to be avoided due to the obscene concrete development of the area with ensuing mass arrivals of fully laden coachloads of selfie-obsessed tourists, reducing the whole purpose of visiting the area to a side show with tacky overpriced souvenirs and junk food. Geysir gave its name to the world but is hallowed ground no more and Sigríður Tómasdóttir will be spinning in her grave at the betrayal of her legacy. Their natural beauty and attraction have long been overwhelmed by man's disrespect for the environment and one fears for the future. Þingvellir is leaning in the same direction too but hopefully the lessons learned with Gullfoss and Geysir will prevent this.
翻译:冰岛已经失去了太多最初吸引游客的真实性,曾经令人羡慕的自然美景和丰富的文化因全球旅游业的蓬勃发展而遭到破坏和践踏。黄金瀑布和间歇泉是冰岛旅游业的原始基石,但现在由于该地区的荒唐混凝土开发,大量自拍狂人乘坐大巴抵达,游客纷纷避开,参观该地区的目的沦为一场低俗高价纪念品和垃圾食品的杂耍。间歇泉让世界闻名,但如今已不再是圣地,Sigríður Tómasdóttir 将在坟墓中为背叛她的遗产而感到震惊。它们的自然美景和吸引力早已被人类对环境的不尊重所淹没,人们对未来感到担忧。辛格韦德利 (Þingvellir) 也倾向于同样的方向,但希望从黄金瀑布 (Gullfoss) 和盖歇尔间歇泉 (Geysir) 吸取的教训可以避免这种情况。
