点评:We visited Jorvik Viking Centre as we’re both really interested in Viking history, so we were looking forward to this and perhaps had quite high expectations.
Unfortunately, we found the experience just okay. The ride and displays felt quite rushed, and we felt there was so much digitalisation that we didn’t really have the opportunity to stop, take things in and properly learn about the history. We were hoping for more of an immersive, hands-on experience that would really bring Viking York to life.
Perhaps our expectations were simply too high, but by the end we felt that we could have watched a good YouTube documentary about Jorvik and the Vikings and come away with a very similar experience.
It’s certainly worth visiting if you’re interested in Viking history, and there were some interesting things to see, but for us it didn’t quite deliver the immersive historical experience we were hoping for.
翻译:我们俩对维京历史都抱有浓厚兴趣,因此特意去参观了约里克维京中心,心中满怀期待,期望也相当高。
可惜的是,整体体验也就一般而已。游览过程和展览内容显得有些仓促,而且由于大量运用了数字化手段,我们几乎没有机会停下来好好感受、细细品味历史。我们原本期望能获得一种更加身临其境的体验。这种亲身体验确实能让维京时代的约克“活”起来。
或许我们的期望有些过高了,但最后我们觉得,就算只看一部关于约维克和维京人的优质YouTube纪录片,也能获得类似的体验。
如果你对维京历史感兴趣,这里绝对值得一游,确实有一些有趣的展品可以观赏;不过对我们而言,这里未能带来我们所期待的那种身临其境的历史体验。
