点评:After hearing of Urk's repuation to the rest of the Netherlands, I felt that I had to visit. It was rumoured that the residents longed for their history as an island so they were separated from the prying eyes of the rest of the Dutch people, in order to have congress with fish and other water-based creatures. When I arrived, I expected to be greeted with various semi-aquatic, half-humanoid forms of life, but instead witnessed a man fight a seagull to the death over a kaneelbroodje outside the werckpost. Undeterred, I progressed towards the seashore and instead tried to take a walk along the strand - it was a sunny day, what was the worse that could happen? Horrors. Horrors happened. My eyes were assailed from all directions by the faces and forms of some 20 people whose ancestors had either been lost manatees or family before they were family. Also, some fellow on the seashore was seemingly fighting for his life with a crabbing net that had somehow entangled a squid. As an experienced cephalapod wrangler and fish man myself, I have one word: HOW?
Leaving this man to his fate and terrified about finding myself in a bathtub of ice missing vital organs, I finally proceeded to the lighthouse as I felt like they - like my rather sturdy wife - would find that their chromosomal inferiorities prevented them from climbing more than two steps. If I thought that the people of this city were god's own petri dish discarded in a fit of rage, then good lord I could never have imagined the actual sight of the town itself. It defies description. Barren. Cold. Hell on earth. I could not escape this place soon enough. It haunts my nightmares to this day and makes me fear that my wife may have ancestry from here. Is there a blood test to discover this? The health of our unborn child - six months - is at stake and I cannot afford childcare payments nor keeping this creature fed for 18 years.

让这个人听天由命,并害怕发现自己在冰浴缸中失去重要器官,我最终前往灯塔,因为我觉得他们 - 就像我相当强壮的妻子 - 会发现他们的染色体劣势阻止他们攀爬超过两步。如果我认为这座城市的人们是上帝在愤怒中丢弃的培养皿,那么天哪,我永远无法想象这座城市本身的真实景象。它无法描述。荒芜。寒冷的。人间地狱。我无法尽快逃离这个地方。直到今天,它仍然困扰着我的噩梦,让我担心我的妻子可能有这里的血统。是否有验血可以发现这一点?我们未出生的孩子(六个月)的健康受到威胁,我无力承担托儿费,也无法喂养这个生物 18 年。
