🕖用新聞學英文｜雙語教學花路米：Visitors Disappointed by London's Newest Attraction 遊客對倫敦最新觀光景點感到失望

👉Article London's newest tourist attraction has disappointed visitors to the centre of the British capital. Designed by Dutch architecture company MVRDV, the Marble Arch Mound is a 25 meter artificial hill that offers views of Hyde Park, Oxford Street and other famous areas of London. City officials hope the attraction will help bring people back to the centre of London after more than a year of restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, just a few days after it opened the Marble Arch Mound began offering refunds to tourists who were unhappy with their visit. Visitors compared the hill to a construction site, and said that it does not look like the pictures on the Marble Arch Mound website. A promised shop and café have not yet been finished. Westminster Council, which is in charge of the hill, have said that parts of the attraction "are not yet ready for visitors." They also said that anyone who booked a ticket during the first week that the attraction was open will be offered their money back, and a free ticket for another visit at a later date. The council said it plans to continue improving the Marble Arch Mound until it is taken down in January 2022. 👉Summary 「大理石拱門山」是一座高25公尺的人造山丘，可一覽海德公園、牛津街和倫敦其他知名地區的風景。在新冠病毒疫情導致一年以上的限制之後，都市官員希望這個景點，能夠將人潮帶回倫敦市中心。不過，就在開幕後的幾天，「大理石拱門山」卻得開始退費給不滿意的遊客。遊客把這座山丘比擬成施工地，並表示它看起來不像官網上的照片。承諾好的商店和咖啡廳也還沒完工。掌管這座人造山的西敏市議會表示，該景點的部分區域「尚未準備好開放給遊客」，並承諾任何在該景點開放首週訂票的人，都能拿到退款，以及之後日期的一張免費門票。 👉Words & Phrases disappoint（使）失望 architecture建築學 artificial人造的 References Article: Engoo Daily News (https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/visitors-disappointed-by-londons-newest-attraction/oBbGKvE9EeuuHwuo3j8hCA) (https://engoo.com.tw/) ☆若您對本頻道節目有任何疑問或建議，請e-mail 至：[email protected] #每周一、四更新 #收聽無廣告不用APP選教育電台 線上收聽 #進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道 ----- 英語節目主持人：屠潔(Jenny)、Neil ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：世界咖啡館 ----- ----- 🎙教育電臺🎙 📻官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV 🔗粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink 🎧線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE 🎙Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5 Powered by Firstory Hosting
