Email from Jetblue advertising reduced rates on flights, and the roundtrip fare from Portland to Las Vegas was outstandingly low. "That could be fun," I thought. Oh, how wrong I was. 捷蓝航空发来的广告邮件里说机票有折扣，从波特兰到拉斯维加斯的往返机票价格已经低到了极致。“去那里玩玩应该很有意思吧，” 我想。然而事实证明，我错了。 After spending a week in Las Vegas, I can say without a doubt that I'd rather rub fiberglass in my eyes than set foot on the strip again. There are several reasons for this. 在拉斯维加斯待了一周之后，我想说我真是瞎了眼才会到这种地方来旅游。下面我就来说说原因。 1.Everything in Las Vegas is Fake 1.拉斯维加斯的一切都是假的 Vegas is structured like a theme park, if the theme was "disgusting." It's like walking around Disneyland, only all the wholesome, beloved Disney mascots have been transformed into drunk sluts and bros drenched in Axe body spray. 拉斯维加斯的结构就好像一个主题公园，而这个主题是“恶心”。在这里就好像走在迪斯尼乐园里，只不过迪斯尼那些可爱的玩偶都变成了混合着浓浓香水味的醉鬼们。 All the big casinos and attractions areconsolidated to one stretch of land, and after a mile or two it just ends. One afternoon I walked all the way down Las Vegas Boulevard, and after a few miles I found myself smack dab in the middle of nothing. A tumbleweed rolled by my feet and I was reminded that I was in the middle of the desert. Behind me, the strip shimmered like an oasis, except it's the opposite of an oasis, where instead of water and camels they have Jose Cuervo and staph infections. |
