  Experiencing Scotland

  Scotland is a unique and austere1 place, laden2 with history, where you can find aristocratic palaces and castles, as well as the traditional parade in national costumes. It has some of the most beautiful cities in Europe, a living testimony of a proud and splendid past.

  In order to see the true soul of Scotland today, what forged the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampia Mountains.Beautiful and unspoiled, it was difficult to farm. The Scots subdued the environment with simple spades and strong arms.

  The history of this ancient struggle, and its people's ancient love affair with the hard land, is enclosed within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyday artifacts displayed here .

  From coastal Aberdeen in towards the interior of the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses, which are witness of continual revolts against the dominion of neighboring England in Scottish history.

  Perhaps the most uplifting moment for Scottish autonomy is the one experienced inside this ancient abbey of Arbroath, where, in 1320; the Declaration of Independence was celebrated, at the instigation of King Robert the Bruce. He carried out the plan for autonomy drawn up3 by the great popular hero William Wallace, to whom cinema has dedicated the wonderful film" Brave Heart", the winner of five Oscars.

  Glamis Castle is often remembered for being the residence of King Macbeth and Queen ElizabethⅡin her childhood. Among the most assiduous guests here are the inevitable ghosts, created by ancient popular beliefs.

  The true flag of Scotland is tartan, its brightly colored plaid patterns which are used to distinguish the various clans. Over the last few decades this fabric has made a comeback and is part of the daily life of this country.

  參考譯文:

  親歷蘇格蘭

  蘇格蘭是一個獨特的地方, 簡約而不失歷史厚重感。豪門望族的府邸和城堡, 以及穿著民族服裝的傳統(tǒng)儀仗隊隨處可見。蘇格蘭的一些城市是歐洲最美麗的, 生動再現(xiàn)了它驕人而又輝煌的過去。

  今天, 為了理解蘇格蘭的精髓, 尋找形成這片神奇土地特征的根源, 我們就得去北部,去格蘭扁群山。那里景色宜人, 保持著自然本色, 但不適宜耕種。蘇格蘭人硬是憑著簡陋的工具和強壯的臂膀征服了環(huán)境。

  人們艱苦勞作的歷史和自古以來對這片土地的眷戀, 都記錄在安格斯民俗博物館里。從館里陳列的日常手工器具中, 你能感受到獨特的舊時鄉(xiāng)村氛圍。

  古堡之路從沿海的阿伯丁一直延伸到格蘭扁山區(qū)的深處。沿途的許多要塞見證了蘇格蘭不斷反抗近鄰英格蘭統(tǒng)治的歷史。

  蘇格蘭爭取自治的過程中, 最振奮人心的時刻莫過于1320 年在古老的阿布羅修道院里的那次經(jīng)歷。在羅伯特· 布魯士的鼓動下, 人們慶祝獨立宣言的發(fā)表。布魯士成功實現(xiàn)了偉大英雄威廉· 華萊士制定的自治計劃。華萊士的事跡被拍成了精彩的電影《勇敢的心》, 該片榮獲五項奧斯卡獎。

  格拉母斯城堡聞名遐邇, 因為國王麥克白和幼年時的伊麗莎白二世女王曾經(jīng)在這里居 住過。這里最頻繁光臨的客人要屬那些揮之不去的幽靈, 但它們多半是根據(jù)古代民間傳說杜撰出來的。

  蘇格蘭的標志是格子呢。其色彩鮮明的圖案曾經(jīng)是區(qū)別不同宗族的標志。過去的幾 十年里, 格子呢再度興起, 成了這個國家日常生活的一部分。
