Internet jokers have turned a circular hole in a wall outside a bank into a tourist attraction. Since December 2018, wags have been posting glowing reviews on TripAdvisor for the hole at NatWest in Ilkeston.
"NatWest hole" is now ranked fourth out of 16 attractions in the Derbyshire town based on user reviews.
One reviewer on TripAdvisor offered the spoof advice: "Can get very busy and you can queue for hours, but it's worth the wait."
turn…into: 把……變成……
• He soon turned his dreams into reality.
他很快把夢想變成了現實。
• I’m a teacher turned trainer.

wag n. 愛說笑的人,幽默的人
(a wag is someone who makes jokes)
glowing reviews/opinions: 高度贊許,大加贊揚
(someone or something praises them highly or supports them strongly.)
• post rave review: 好評
• post bad review: 差評
spoof n. (關于嚴肅事件的)惡搞文章;惡搞電視節目
(something such as an article or television program that seems to be about a serious matter but is actually a joke.)
The city of Agra has the Taj Mahal, Paris has the Eiffel Tower and Sydney has its Opera House. But they all pale in comparison to the impact on the soul of first laying eyes on Ilkeston's Hole in the Wall.
阿格拉有泰姬陵,巴黎有埃菲爾鐵塔,悉尼有歌劇院。但在我們靈魂神洞的相比之下都顯得黯然失色。
