这儿离沃科尼亚约1英里，在明尼阿波利斯以西约40英里，是个宁静的湖边村落，像极了盖瑞森·凯勒(Garrison Keillor)在广播小说《牧场之家好作伴》(A Prairie Home Companion)里虚构的乌比冈湖小镇(Lake Wobegon)。

It’s about a mile from Waconia, a quiet lakeside community 40 miles west of Minneapolis that is eerily similar to the fictional town of Lake Wobegon in Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.

This has been called the "Lake Wobegon effect" based on Garrison Keillor's story about a place where all the children are above average.

这个就叫“乌比冈湖效应”,名字源于Garrison，Keillor的一个故事,故事里有个地方的小孩子比一般孩子都优秀。
