点评:I took my two-year-old to Hinksey Outdoor Pool today. When we arrived there were only 30 minutes left in the session, which is actually enough for a toddler. The staff member at the desk told us we could wait and come back for the next session and that we’d then have two hours; she never said that wouldn’t be possible. We waited by the pool for half an hour, but when the next session started a different staff member was on duty and she refused to let us in under any circumstances. My husband and I explained that this was their colleague’s mistake and that my two-year-old shouldn’t have to pay the price for it, but she still wouldn’t allow even 15 minutes in the water. I had to take my child—who has been unwell for a month and had been looking forward to swimming—home in her swimsuit, in tears. The lack of coordination and the unkindness from staff—refusing even to let a small child dip her feet in the water—was very disappointing.
翻译:今天我带两岁的孩子去了欣克西室外游泳池。我们到的时候,只剩下30分钟了,其实对一个蹒跚学步的孩子来说,这时间已经够用了。前台工作人员告诉我们,可以等到下次再来,这样我们就有两个小时的时间了;她从没说过这不可以。我们在泳池边等了半个小时,但下次开始的时候,值班的工作人员换了人,无论如何都不让我们进去。我和丈夫解释说,这是他们同事的失误,我两岁的孩子不应该为此付出代价,但她还是不让我们下水,哪怕只有15分钟。我不得不带着孩子——她已经病了一个月,一直盼着游泳——穿着泳衣回家,哭得稀里哗啦。工作人员的不配合和不友好——甚至不让一个小孩把脚伸进水里——真是令人失望。
