点评:Let me begin by saying that I like the Idle Valley nature reserve. It is a very picturesque venue that has a pleasant walking track circumnavigating its centra lake. I like that aspect of the reserve very much.
However, what I do not like about the reserve, is its café. Or, to be more specific, the prices charged in the café, for what on the whole is not exactly haute cuisine.
The quality of the bread served, for instance, is of the cheapest variety [there was a time when they served thick cut bloomer bread of good quality. Better quality bread is served in Morrisons café] and the price of the cakes, mostly mass-produced tray-bakes, at £3.50, are overpriced. And a portion of carrot cake, for example, at £4.25, is exorbitant. I am fully aware that there are those who frequent the reserve who think nothing of paying such prices. I am not one of them.
In conclusion, therefore, although I may well continue to frequent the reserve, I will not be imbibing in any of the café's overpriced fare.
翻译:首先,我要说我喜欢艾德尔谷自然保护区。这是一个风景如画的地方,有一条环绕中心湖的宜人步行道。我非常喜欢这个保护区的这个方面。
然而,我不喜欢这个保护区的咖啡馆。或者,更具体地说,咖啡馆的收费,总的来说,它并不是高级美食。
例如,供应的面包质量是最便宜的品种[曾经有一段时间他们供应质量上乘的厚切布鲁默面包。莫里森咖啡馆供应质量更好的面包],蛋糕的价格过高,大多是批量生产的烤盘蛋糕,3.50 英镑。而一份胡萝卜蛋糕,例如,4.25 英镑,太贵了。我完全知道,经常光顾这个保护区的人中,有些人不介意花这么多钱。我不是其中之一。
因此,总而言之,尽管我可能会继续经常光顾这家酒吧,但我不会喝这家咖啡馆的任何高价饮料。
