为啥大量中国游客游览一个平凡的的英国乡村 [英国媒体]

-------------译者：klqw-审核者：龙腾翻译总管------------



A travel firm has revealed why it brought coachloads of Chinese tourists to a completely unremarkable English village.

一家旅游公司透露了它将中国游客载到一个完全不起眼的英国村庄的原因。

Residents in Kidlington Oxfordshire were mystified this summer when the holidaymakers were seen nosing around their streets and posing for selfies next to their front doors.

今年夏天，当牛津郡基德灵顿的居民发现度假者们四处问路并在他们的大门旁摆pose自拍时，他们懵逼了。

Reports at the time suggested a tour guide may have wrongly told the groups that the village featured in the Harry Potter movie as the setting for the Dursleys' house.

那时的报道说一名导游可能错误地告诉了人们这个村庄作为德斯礼家的原型在哈利波特的电影中出现。（注 德斯礼一家是哈利波特中的角色）

But the Chinese firm behind the visits has now revealed they brought the tourists to Kidlington because they were 'looking for the true sense of this country'.



但负责此次参观的中国公司现在表示他们带旅客来基德灵顿是因为他们正“寻找这个国家的真实感觉”。

A guide has told the BBC that the groups liked the houses and gardens adding: 'We don't have [these] in China.'

据一位导游对BBC透露，旅行团很喜欢这里的房屋和花园：“我们在中国可没有这些。”

They rather cryptically said: 'The environment makes you feel you are closer to the simplicity of your original self.'

他们晦涩地表示：“这儿的环境让你有种回归真我的感觉。”

Locals in the village which is situated three miles to the north of Oxford told of their puzzled joy in August when the tourists began arriving in their streets.

这个座落在牛津北边三公里小村庄的人们，讲述了当游客出现在村子街道上时他们困惑中夹杂着愉悦的心情。

One joked: 'Don't knock it I've been selling them cream teas at ?8 a go.'

其中一位开玩笑地说：“不要提了，我卖给他们的奶酪茶每听收了8块钱。”

Tony Bennell said: 'They do get very excited about it and really enjoy taking pictures in front of the gardens and flowers.

Tony Bennell 说：“他们对这里很兴奋，特别享受在花园和花草前面拍照片。”

'I have no personal grievance but for example there are gardens where people have benches out and the tourists will just wander in and pose for selfies on them.'

我没有个人情绪，但是有些中国人看到别人家花园里的长椅后会直接闯进去在上面拍自拍，让人很恼火。

Another villager Simon Jones 34 added: 'There are quaint chocolate-box thatched houses in the village and an ancient church but the tourists are taking selfies in front of bog standard modern homes.

另一个村民Simon Jones说，在村庄里面有古典的巧克力盒子茅草屋和一座古老的教堂。但是游客们只在那些现代标准的房屋前自拍。

'It's really weird and nobody has a clue why Kidlington and Benmead Road in particular has suddenly become world-famous.'

“很奇怪而且没人知道为什么基灵顿郡和Benmead路怎么突然之间就世界闻名了”

Joel Ryan said on Facebook: 'I reckon that some tour guide has...told the tourists that the street is famous for being in the Harry Potter films (at the Dursleys) and they've only gone and bought it hook line and...sinker.' 

Joel Ryan在facebook上写道：我估计是某些导游告诉游客这条街曾经出现在哈利波特的电影（在Dursleys那一部），然后就信以为真了。

British architecture even in the most bog standard 3 bed semi is so different to what they are used to in China. The street layout is different the gardens are different. When I visit an entirely different cultures I want to see as much as possible. I've never arrived en masse with a load of other tourists but I've probably taken pictures of someone's home because it's so unusual to me.

英式建筑，即使是最标准的3床半独立式住宅对中国人来说也是完全不同的。街道和花园的布局对他们来说都是如此与众不同。当我去旅游一个完全不同文化的地区时我会尽可能的多看一些内容。我不会和一堆游客一起行走，而是给别人的房子拍照，因为它们对我而言是如此的与众不同

I would guess the reason they're walking all over the front gardens is because there's no fence therefore they assume there's no problem with them walking there. Private property in China would be fenced off.

我猜他们走到花园前面只是因为这儿没有栅栏，他们认为走到这里并没有什么问题，在中国，私有的地方是会被围起来的。

No they didn't walk on the grass just the pathways and not disturbing the grass. This is a good thing to happen and more tourists the better our economy will grow.

他们只是走在小路上，并没有走在草坪上伤害小草，这是很好的事情，来更多的游客可以让我们的经济增长的更好。

Thebritishsoldier - it says they sit on the benches in people's gardens to take selfies...how do they do that without walking on the grass?

英国大兵---据说他们坐在人们的花园上的长凳上自拍。如果不走在草坪上怎么做到这一点？

Actually the real reason is because the trips are specifically visiting Bicester Village outlet centre and Kidlington is only 6 miles away so it is an easy drop-off point intended to be a "value-add" to the shopping trip.

事实上真正的原因是，他们的旅行是专门来比斯特出口中心购物村的，而且这里距离基德灵顿仅仅6英里远，这里是一个方便的落客点，目的是为这种购物之旅增添价值。

You would be hard pushed to find anything but Brits in parts of Spain Malta France or Italy. And? Has it escaped you that London is THE most prosperous part of the UK? Any clue why? Do people fly to the UK wanting to visit up North? And why oh why do some silly Brits believe they are so flipping entitled? It is not 'Great' Britain in 2 years it will be 'Little' Britain and hopefully the people that are kicked out will do the same to Brits!

在西班牙、马耳他、法国或意大利的部分地区，你会很难找到除了英国人之外的任何东西。然后呢？ 难道你就可以忽视伦敦是英国最繁荣的地区了吗？有什么迹象表明人们飞往英国是想北部游玩的吗？为什么有一些愚蠢的英国人总觉得自己很牛逼？两年内英国就不是“伟大的”英国了，它将是“小”英国，希望被赶出英国的人也对英国人做同样的事！（看不懂，尽力了）

'Some silly Brits' as you call them feel they are 'so flipping entitled' because it is their country of birth and that of their parents and grandparents. If that doesn't make them 'entitled' then I don't know what does.

那些被你称为“愚蠢的英国人”，你觉得他们“自以为牛逼”，这是因为英国是生养他们、他们父母和祖父母的国家。 如果这都不能让他们有资格牛逼，那么我也不知道怎样才行了。

I think it's charming. They want to see the 'true' England rather than just the (overpriced) tourist areas. I'd take it as a compliment.
