坐在 HGV 后面的拖车顶上,我们在“Mr Men”花车上竭尽全力避免严重的眼睛受伤
After enduring years of being carnival targets, Brett Ellis was curious about the modern incarnation of the event.
在经历了多年狂欢节目标之后,布雷特·埃利斯对这一活动的现代体现感到好奇。
Venturing down to Hastings seafront on a sunny day, he was surprised to see the carnival was poorly attended.
在阳光明媚的日子里,他冒险前往黑斯廷斯海滨,惊讶地发现嘉年华的参加人数很少。
Despite the best efforts of the organisers, the carnival was a shadow of its former self and appeared to be dying.
尽管组织者尽了最大努力,嘉年华仍是昔日的影子,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.
狂欢节周围散布着打扮成女人的人们,一辆花车的侧面写着“野生动物疱疹”。
The carnival queen was forced to walk in the heat with the only indication of her status being a sash around her midriff.
这位狂欢节女王被迫在炎热的天气中行走,唯一表明她身份的标志是她腹部的腰带。
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,虽然有两个女队长剧团,但一个就足够了,并补充说,一旦你看到一个人向空中扔一根接力棒,你就已经看到了所有人。
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.
他很惊讶地看到人们在主要以儿童为中心的活动中打扮成绅士,但出于某种原因,在嘉年华上这似乎是可以接受的。
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.
周围散布着不少变装者,其中许多人穿着雄鹿风格的服装,胸部鼓起,而许多人则没有,因为他们炫耀着他们的变装东西。
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.
他说,没有气球卖家,这肯定会对金库造成损害,并补充说,毫无疑问,现在可能有一些禁止在公共场合使用乳胶的规则。
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.
一辆彩车旁边写着“野生动物疱疹”,我相信船上的人一定是得了这种病,我很高兴看到“p”实际上是“o”,尽管仍然不知道它们是如何或为什么发生的。他们是“英雄”,这通常只是 NHS 工作人员的自我宣称。
All throughout it became apparent as to how, despite their best efforts, the carnival was now dying.
从始至终,我们都清楚地看到,尽管他们尽了最大努力,狂欢节现在正在消亡。
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.
没有刷卡机,也没有人携带现金,这严重削弱了捐款总额,从而使其在未来几年变得不可行。
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.
没有地方可以停车,如果你能找到一个停车位,你要花一大笔钱才能看到几辆卡车和一小群顽强的当地人试图为这个概念注入生命,但遗憾的是,这并没有帮助你。生命支持。
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,只有在他们绕回环岛并返回途中,主题才变得明显,因为我们被迫与英国皇家空军学员 Wee Willy Winkie(有人打扮成纳粹飞机)一起第二次观看游行队伍、很多香蕉和一只猴子。
It was heroes of land, air, and sea, although I remain unsure as to how wee willie winkied in on the act.
这是陆地、空中和海上的英雄,尽管我仍然不确定小威利是如何眨眼参与这一表演的。
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…
但尽管如此,尽管(对成年人和孩子们)都感到非常失望,但你不能批评他们试图让这一传统“继续下去”(抱歉),值得庆幸的是,嘉年华女王并没有最终落入莫菲尔德之眼医院将一块 50 便士的碎片放入角膜后……
