点评:I'm honestly at a loss with these other reviews... Though we saw glimpses of these magical animals and passed through some beautiful nature, our guide Ben was disappointing at best, dangerous at worst. Disappointing because he kept laughing at his own unfunny jokes and told us little about the ecosystem we were exploring. Dangerous because he failed in his most important duty: as a guide on an unpredictable river.
The entire morning, he was leagues in front of us, flying solo. Occasionally, he yelled at us some instruction or observation, but he was so far ahead we could not hear it. He took us through rapids that almost seriously injured me at one moment, and he was nowhere near. By the end, he literally deserted us -- going back to shore while we were busy looking for dolphins in the middle of the Mekong river.
It was all very strange. I do not think this man is in the right profession...
翻译:说实话,我对其他评论感到很困惑……虽然我们看到了这些神奇动物的身影,也欣赏到了美丽的自然风光,但我们的向导本的表现充其量只能说是令人失望,往坏了说是危险。令人失望是因为他一直在自顾自地讲一些不好笑的笑话,而且对我们正在探索的生态系统几乎不做任何讲解。危险是因为他没有尽到最重要的职责:在变幻莫测的河流上做好向导工作。
整个上午,他都远远地走在我们前面,独自一人划行。偶尔,他会朝我们喊一些指示或观察,但他走得太远,我们根本听不见。他带我们穿过一段急流,我差点被严重划伤,而他却远远地躲在后面。最后,他竟然抛弃了我们——在我们忙着在湄公河中央寻找海豚的时候,他自己却返回了岸边。
这一切都非常奇怪。我觉得这个人不适合这份工作……
