坐在 HGV 後面的拖車頂上,我們在“Mr Men”花車上竭盡全力避免嚴重的眼睛受傷
After enduring years of being carnival targets, Brett Ellis was curious about the modern incarnation of the event.
在經歷了多年狂歡節目標之後,布雷特·艾利斯對這項活動的現代體現感到好奇。
Venturing down to Hastings seafront on a sunny day, he was surprised to see the carnival was poorly attended.
在陽光明媚的日子裡,他冒險前往黑斯廷斯海濱,驚訝地發現嘉年華的參與人數很少。
Despite the best efforts of the organisers, the carnival was a shadow of its former self and appeared to be dying.
儘管主辦單位盡了最大努力,嘉年華仍是昔日的影子,似乎正在消亡。
People dressed as women were dotted around the carnival, and one float had ‘Wildlife Herpes’ written on the side.
狂歡節周圍散佈著打扮成女人的人們,一輛花車的側面寫著「野生動物皰疹」。
The carnival queen was forced to walk in the heat with the only indication of her status being a sash around her midriff.
這位狂歡節女王被迫在炎熱的天氣中行走,唯一表明她身份的標誌是她腹部的腰帶。
There were two majorette troupes, but one would have been sufficient, quipped Brett, adding that once you’ve seen one person throw a baton in the air, you’ve seen them all.
布雷特打趣道,雖然有兩個女隊長劇團,但一個就足夠了,並補充說,一旦你看到一個人向空中扔一根接力棒,你就已經看到了所有人。
He was surprised to see people dressed as gentlemen at a predominantly child-centred event, but for some reason it seemed acceptable at a carnival.
他很驚訝地看到人們在主要以兒童為中心的活動中打扮成紳士,但出於某種原因,在嘉年華上這似乎是可以接受的。
There were more than a handful of cross dressers dotted about, many in stag style attire with blow up bosoms and many not, as they strutted their cross dressing stuff.
周圍散佈著不少變裝者,其中許多人穿著雄鹿風格的服裝,胸部鼓起,而許多人則沒有,因為他們炫耀著他們的變裝東西。
There were no balloon sellers which must be detrimental to the coffers, he said, adding that no doubt now there is probably some rule banning latex in public.
他說,沒有氣球賣家,這肯定會對金庫造成損害,並補充說,毫無疑問,現在可能有一些禁止在公共場合使用乳膠的規則。
One float said ‘Wildlife Herpes’ on the side and, believing those on board must be stricken from the illness, I was glad to see the ‘p’ was actually an ‘o’ despite still not having a clue as to how or why they were ‘heroes’ which is usually only a self proclamation self bestowed by NHS staff.
一輛彩車旁邊寫著“野生動物皰疹”,我相信船上的人一定是得了這種病,我很高興看到“p”實際上是“o”,儘管仍然不知道它們是如何或為什麼發生的。
All throughout it became apparent as to how, despite their best efforts, the carnival was now dying.
從頭到尾,我們都清楚地看到,儘管他們盡了最大努力,狂歡節現在正在消亡。
There were no card machines and no one carries cash, severely denting the donations total and thus making it unviable for the years to come.
沒有刷卡機,也沒有人攜帶現金,這嚴重削弱了捐款總額,從而使其在未來幾年變得不可行。
This was not helped by there being nowhere to park and if you could find a space, paying a huge amount for the privilege of seeing a handful of trucks and a small band of hardy locals attempting to breathe life into the concept which is sadly now on life support.
沒有地方可以停車,如果你能找到一個停車位,你要花一大筆錢才能看到幾輛卡車和一小群頑強的當地人試圖為這個概念注入生命,但遺憾的是,這並沒有幫助你。
In addition, the theme only become apparent after they had gone back around the roundabout and made the return journey as we were forced to watch the procession for a second time with Wee Willy Winkie, the RAF cadets (with someone dressed as a nazi plane), lots of bananas and a monkey.
此外,只有在他們繞回環島並返回途中,主題才變得明顯,因為我們被迫與英國皇家空軍學員 Wee Willy Winkie(有人打扮成納粹飛機)一起第二次觀看遊行隊伍、很多香蕉和一隻猴子。
It was heroes of land, air, and sea, although I remain unsure as to how wee willie winkied in on the act.
這是陸地、空中和海上的英雄,儘管我仍然不確定小威利是如何眨眼參與這場表演的。
But still, despite the overarching disappointment (for the adults as well as the kids) you can’t criticise them for trying to keep the tradition ‘afloat’ (sorry) and, thankfully, the carnival queen didn’t end up at Moorfield eye hospital after taking a 50 pence piece to the cornea…
但儘管如此,儘管(對成年人和孩子們)都感到非常失望,但你不能批評他們試圖讓這一傳統「繼續下去」(抱歉),值得慶幸的是,嘉年華女王並沒有最終落入莫菲爾德之眼醫院將一塊 50 便士的碎片放入角膜後…
