点评:Our family was disappointed! This was a typical tea cup tour of "this is this and this is this and this is this..." instead of teaching us about Ralph Waldo Emmerson and his family. Emmerson is such an intriguing literary figure who inspired so many other literary and historical figures. There is so much information on this man available that they could really create a fantastic tour. I don't think our family walked away learning anything about Emmerson. This could be a great dialogic tour that people would walk away from discussing. Instead all we learned was what chair he sat in. Time for a rewrite on the script. Our guide really just rambled off what we assume was a script (though it felt more like an inventory of items) with no pauses or inflection in her tone that it was hard to retain. At one point our guide switched off with another guide but the tour continued on the same as with the first guide. Then after two rooms the first guide took over again. It felt odd but they both delivered the information the same way.
The gift shop could be so much more than it is. It was not impressive at all. It would be a great way to bring in money. I mean Emmerson has such great quotes, the gift shop could have great products.
We wouldn't bother going back unless we heard the tour was updated.
翻译:我们一家人都很失望!这是一次典型的茶杯之旅,内容是“这是这个,这是这个,这是这个……”,而不是教我们了解拉尔夫·沃尔多·埃默森和他的家人。埃默森是一位非常有趣的文学人物,他启发了许多其他文学和历史人物。关于这个人的信息太多了,他们可以创造一次精彩的旅行。我认为我们一家人并没有从中学到任何关于埃默森的知识。这可能是一次很棒的对话之旅,人们不会再讨论。相反,我们只知道他坐在哪把椅子上。是时候重写剧本了。我们的导游真的只是漫无目的地讲着我们认为是剧本的东西(虽然感觉更像是物品清单),语气中没有停顿或语调,很难记住。有一次,我们的导游换了另一个导游,但游览继续进行,和第一个导游一样。然后,在两个房间之后,第一个导游又接手了。感觉很奇怪,但他们都以同样的方式传递信息。
礼品店可以比现在的更多。一点也不令人印象深刻。这将是一个赚钱的好方法。我的意思是,埃默森有如此精彩的名言,礼品店可以有很棒的产品。
除非我们听说旅游有更新,否则我们不会再去。
