Nice Tour, Too High Level
National Stockyard Exchange的点评
点评:This was a very interesting tour—it was fascinating to see the cattle in the stockyards—there are just so many of them, for as far as the eye can see from up on those catwalks. It was pretty cool to see how a live cattle auction functions in person, too. I’ll be very honest, though, I felt very lost in what our guide was saying most of the time. He was clearly very knowledgeable and has worked in the Stockyards for decades, so it was definitely me, not him. I knew absolutely nothing about cattle, ranching or auctions coming in, so his tour was a little too high level for me—a lot of the concepts I either needed an intro or beginner course in before the tour or a handout with definitions, I guess. So even though I didn’t know what he was talking about for the most part, it was still very cool to see something new!
翻译:这是一次非常有趣的旅行——看到牲畜围栏里的牛真是令人着迷——它们的数量实在是太多了,从那些走道上望去,一眼望不到边。亲眼看看现场牲畜拍卖会的运作方式也很酷。不过,说实话,我大部分时间都听不懂导游在说什么。他显然知识渊博,而且在牲畜围栏工作了几十年,所以肯定是我听不懂,不是他。我对牛、牧场经营或拍卖一无所知,所以他的讲解对我来说有点太高深了——很多概念我猜,在参观之前要么需要上一门入门或入门课程,要么需要一份有定义的讲义。所以,即使我大部分时间都不知道他在说什么,但看到一些新的东西仍然非常酷!
