標題:Alcatraz as a Prison? Tourists Say POTUS Is on His Own Island.
副標題:At the beloved attraction in San Francisco Bay, visitors could scarcely believe POTUS had suggested turning Alcatraz back into a penitentiary.

The tour was standard at the revered San Francisco attraction, save for one topic that simply could not be avoided in the conversations echoing off the old cellblock walls.

知識點:boatload n.
a large quantity carried by boat. 一船的量
e.g. A boatload of supplies arrived at the island. 一船物資抵達了島嶼。
