我在蘇格蘭的最愛城堡
現在是秋天，我想和大家分享五月我在蘇格蘭高地看到的一座美麗城堡。
Xiànzài shì qiūtiān, wǒ xiǎng hé dàjiā fēnxiǎng wǔ yuè wǒ zài Sūgélán gāodì kàndào de yī zuò měilì chéngbǎo.
It’s autumn now, and I’d like to share a beautiful castle I visited in May in the Scottish Highlands.
Kilchurn Castle
I didn’t get a great picture! Click here to see more pretty picture from their website!
這座城堡叫 Kilchurn Castle，建於1400年代中期，曾是Glenorchy地區Campbell家族的基地，超過150年。
Zhè zuò chéngbǎo jiào Kilchurn Castle, jiàn yú 1400 niándài zhōngqí, céng shì Glenorchy dìqū Campbell jiāzú de jīdì, chāoguò 150 nián.
This castle is called Kilchurn Castle, built in the mid-1400s, and it served as the base for the Campbell family of Glenorchy for over 150 years.
1689年第一次雅各賓叛亂後，城堡被改成軍隊的據點，但到1700年代末就被遺棄了。
1689 nián dì yī cì Yǎgébīn pànluàn hòu, chéngbǎo bèi gǎi chéng jūnduì de jùdiǎn, dàn dào 1700 niándài mò jiù bèi yíqì le.
After the first Jacobite Rising in 1689, it was converted into a garrison stronghold, but by the end of the 1700s, it was abandoned.
This place is called Glencoe and it is a great place for hiking!
我特別喜歡蘇格蘭高地的風景，既壯麗又寧靜。這座被遺棄的古老城堡是我在蘇格蘭最喜歡的景點。
Wǒ tèbié xǐhuān Sūgélán gāodì de fēngjǐng, jì zhuànglì yòu níngjìng. Zhè zuò bèi yíqì de gǔlǎo chéngbǎo shì wǒ zài Sūgélán zuì xǐhuān de jǐngdiǎn.
I especially love the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands—they’re both magnificent and peaceful. This abandoned, ancient castle is my favorite spot in Scotland.
每次看到這樣的古老建築，都讓我感到自己很渺小，提醒我要努力，為自己留下值得回憶的東西。
Měi cì kàndào zhèyàng de gǔlǎo jiànzhù, dōu ràng wǒ gǎndào zìjǐ hěn miǎoxiǎo, tíxǐng wǒ yào nǔlì, wèi zìjǐ liúxià zhídé huíyì de dōngxī.
Each time I see such old architecture, I feel small, reminding me to work hard and leave something memorable for myself.
