NOT JUST AN OLD CHURCH
Ballintubber Abbey的点评
点评：Ballintubber nestled below the roadside & adjacent a graveyard is deceiving in its "plainness" but I knew i would return after a visit 25 years ago. There was "something about it", I texted to my wife the previous day. And so ther is & was. The stonework for a start is finer than the churches built in the 19th century, as Catholic emancipation released pent up energy that saw a frenzy of church building competing with the multitude of established anglican churches from the time of English established authority. Ballintubber abbey has a homely welcoming aspect, a cosiness that belies its rough stone interior, softened with a whitewash and windows that seemed to glow, sharing the outside light with the visitor. We were delighted to hav Pauline our guide sharing her own "glow" with us priviged guests, of this ancient Abbey. God forbid some day they hav a robotic guide, like a newsreader reading a prepared script or worse, a robot guide. God help us if they do because we will not get a sense of Pauline's knowledge of history, marking not just the abbeys main events in its long life but the context, immediate & social, in which key historical abbey events happened. Thank you Pauline for your enthusiasm (infectious much), your insights - anecdotal & historical with no little humour & charm & your refreshing approach. My apologies for thinking initially that you might be just a typical sort of civil servant who would be just going thro the motions. Delighted to hav met you & hope to meet again in that big old abbey in the hollow. Maith agat.
翻译：巴林图伯修道院坐落在路边，毗邻一片墓地，其“朴素”令人着迷，但我知道，25年前来过之后，我一定会再来。前一天我给妻子发短信说：“这里真有特别之处。”过去如此，现在也如此。首先，这里的石雕比19世纪建造的教堂更精美，因为天主教解放运动释放了被压抑的能量，教堂建筑的狂热与英国统治时期建立的众多圣公会教堂竞争。巴林图伯修道院给人一种温馨亲切的感觉，与其粗糙的石砌内饰形成鲜明对比的是，白色的墙面和闪闪发光的窗户，让室内的光线与来访者融为一体。我们很高兴能有导游波琳与我们这些古老修道院的尊贵客人分享她独特的“魅力”。但愿有一天，他们能像播音员一样，拿着准备好的稿子，或者更糟，变成一个机器人导游。如果他们真的这么做，愿上帝保佑我们，因为我们将无法体会到保罗对历史的了解，她不仅关注修道院漫长历史中的主要事件，还关注修道院关键历史事件发生的直接和社会背景。保罗，谢谢你的热情（极具感染力），你的见解——既有轶事，也有历史，还不乏幽默和魅力，以及你令人耳目一新的方法。抱歉，我最初以为你只是个例行公事的普通公务员。很高兴认识你，希望下次能在山谷里那座古老的大修道院再次相见。再见！
