点评:Any fan of Bob Marley or a fan of music in general should pay a visit to the Trench Town Culture Yard. This was not only the site where a young Bob and Rita Marley lived as he was beginning his music career, but Trench Town is the spiritual home of the reggae sound that spread throughout the world in the 1960s as so many musicians came from the neighborhood. Inside the Culture Yard, is the Government Yard where you can see Marley's single room residence where he and Rita would "share the shelter of my single bed " as he sang in "Is This Love". You will be given a guided tour at a cost of $20 USD/person. There are several other rooms visited containing displays and artifacts including Marley's guitar. His VW van that he drove in his early years is also on site. It was pretty powerful to see the humble beginning of this music great who was so influential in so many ways. Even though it was a pretty cool experience, in truth, there isn't a lot to see at the Culture Yard. You can see it all in 15-20 minutes. Our tour guide was not a professional tour guide but seemed like just a local fellow which in some ways added to the vibe of the experience, but there could be a better presentation. However, we had also arranged for a walking tour of the Trench Town neighborhood beyond the Culture Yard, and this made the visit so much more memorable. I called the number on the website and arranged for a tour with Sophia with InnerCity Tours who gave a great tour. The cost of the Culture Yard plus a tour of the neighborhood was $40/person but she provided a terrific tour telling us so much about the history of Trench Town and it included a stop in front of Bob Marley's childhood home, and this was probably the only safe way to explore the neighborhood without appearing out of place.
翻译:鲍勃·马利的粉丝,或者任何热爱音乐的人,都应该去参观战壕镇文化园。这里不仅是鲍勃·马利和丽塔·马利在音乐生涯起步时居住的地方,更是雷鬼音乐的精神家园。上世纪60年代,雷鬼音乐风靡全球,许多音乐家都来自这里。文化园内设有政府庭院,您可以看到马利的单人住所,就像他在《这就是爱吗?》中唱到的那样,他和丽塔会“分享我的单人床”。您将获得20美元/人的导览服务。此外,这里还有其他几个展厅,里面陈列着马利的吉他和文物。他早年驾驶的大众面包车也停放在文化园内。能够亲眼目睹这位在诸多方面都影响深远的音乐巨匠的卑微出身,真的令人震撼。虽然这是一次非常棒的体验,但说实话,文化园里并没有太多值得一看的地方。你可以在 15-20 分钟内看完所有景点。我们的导游不是专业导游,看起来就像个当地人,这在某种程度上增添了体验的氛围,但讲解还可以更好。不过,我们还安排了文化庭院以外 Trench Town 街区的徒步旅行,这让这次旅行更加难忘。我拨打了网站上的电话,安排了 InnerCity Tours 的 Sophia 陪同的旅行,她提供的服务非常棒。文化庭院加上街区游览的费用是每人 40 美元,但她提供的旅行服务非常棒,给我们讲了很多关于 Trench Town 的历史,还包括在鲍勃·马利童年故居前停留,这或许是探索这个街区而不显得格格不入的唯一安全方式。
