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……变成……
• He soon turned his dreams into reality.
他很快把梦想变成了现实。
• I’m a teacher turned trainer.
我是从教师转为培训师的。
wag n. 爱说笑的人，幽默的人
(a wag is someone who makes jokes)
glowing reviews/opinions: 高度赞许，大加赞扬
(someone or something praises them highly or supports them strongly.)
• post rave review: 好评
• post bad review: 差评
spoof n. （关于严肃事件的）恶搞文章；恶搞电视节目
(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，巴黎有埃菲尔铁塔，悉尼有歌剧院。但在我们灵魂神洞的相比之下都显得黯然失色。
