Scottish traditions 蘇格蘭傳統(tǒng)
Insert
I found Scottish people are very, very down to earth, very, very friendly and Scotland is a very beautiful country. I think that everyone who comes to the UK should go visit Scotland.
Kate: Hello. I'm Kate and welcome to today's Ask about Britain.
Li: 大家好， 我是楊莉，前面是我們的同事菲菲談她去蘇格蘭旅游的觀感，她很喜歡蘇格蘭，所以建議大家都去那里看一看。
Kate: Well I'm glad she liked Scotland so much because in today's programme our question comes from a listener interested in Scotland and its customs and traditions.
Li: 是的這位聽友希望了解一下蘇格蘭的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣以及它們?yōu)楹尾煌谟⒏裉m的傳統(tǒng)。
Kate: It’s an interesting question because as many of you know, although Scotland is part of the UK it is in fact an autonomous region and it has a very strong identity of its own.
Li: 自治區(qū)an autonomous region—它有自己獨(dú)特的，不同于英格蘭和世界其他任何地方的習(xí)慣和傳統(tǒng)。 Strong identity 強(qiáng)烈的認(rèn)同感。
Kate: So Li - what is the first image that comes into your head when I mention Scottish customs and traditions?
Li: Mmm – Scotch 蘇格蘭的威士忌還有蘇格蘭男子穿的裙子…
Kate: Ah - I think you mean kilts - the national dress for Scotland.
Li: The national dress 民俗服裝。蘇格蘭男子穿的格子尼裙，面料很獨(dú)特，是一種特色的格子厚毛尼被稱為tartan毛尼的顏色和圖案不同，從歷史傳統(tǒng)上來說不同的線條和圖案是和蘇格蘭各個大家族有關(guān)的。
Kate: Nowadays, the custom is to wear kilts to special occasions like weddings, birthdays or anniversaries.
Li: 蘇格蘭的格子尼裙很貴，因此許多人都選擇去租to hire 而不是去買。下面我們一起聽聽一位穿過格子尼裙的男子對此有什么體會。
Kate: What special occasion does he mention and does he like wearing a kilt?
Insert
My family are Scottish so I've been to quite a few weddings where I have to wear kilt. I don’t own a kilt, I hire one. So I'll hire it on the Thursday and then I'll wear it for the whole weekend. I love wearing it.
Li: 這位蘇格蘭男子說它好幾次參加婚禮時都是租借一條格子尼裙，穿上一個周末，感覺非常有意思。
Kate: So our speaker enjoys wearing a kilt to weddings which happen to also be a great place to see other Scottish customs and traditions.
Li: 菲菲非常幸運(yùn)地參加了一次蘇格蘭婚禮，咱們一起聽聽菲菲對那次婚禮的見聞。
Insert
In the wedding I saw lots of men wearing traditional Scottish kilts and we did lots of Scottish dancing, 'ceilidh', which was a lot of fun, jumping around, very energetic. And also there was a live band doing lots of traditional Scottish music.
Li: 聽上去她參加的婚禮非常有意思，很多蘇格蘭男子都穿著格尼裙跳一種蘇格蘭鄉(xiāng)村集體舞，凱利舞ceilidh dancing, 她還說有樂隊在演奏蘇格蘭傳統(tǒng)音樂traditional Scottish music.
Kate: Let's listen to our speaker Dan, who has been to lots of ceilidhs. He mentions that as well wearing a kilt, he wore a sporran. Can you explain what a sporran is Li?
Li: Yeah. Dan還提到了另一個獨(dú)特習(xí)慣，那就是在穿蘇格蘭短裙時前面要掛一個專用的小包，這就是sporran，一般都是皮料的，里面什么都放，從零錢到零食。請聽下一段錄音，注意聽Dan 為什么特別喜歡蘇格蘭舞?
Insert
When I was a student a lot of my friends had ceilidhs for their 21st birthdays. So we'd all wear kilts and sporrans. They're fantastic. The great thing about ceilidhs it gets everyone invovled. Someone teaches you the steps, it's very simple and it's very inclusive.
Li: Dan 之所以喜歡蘇格蘭鄉(xiāng)村集體舞，是因為每個人都參與其中。他用了一個詞inclusive 人人都被包括在內(nèi)的。他說每個人每人都參與而且舞蹈簡單又活潑。
Kate: Well, we're nearly out of time but we have managed to mention a few of the many Scottish customs and traditions.
Li: 是的，從以上錄音大家可能已經(jīng)了解到蘇格蘭的一些傳統(tǒng)和習(xí)慣的確是與眾不同的。
Kate: Let's hear from Dan again. Why does he think Scotland has traditions that are so unique and different from those in England?
Insert
Well, Scotland's got such a varied history and they're a very proud people so it is natural that there's been the development of a very strong identity. The poetry, the music, the dress, the way of life in Scotland is so unique and so instantly recognizable and I think that's something to be very proud of.
Li: Dan說因為蘇格蘭具有豐富悠久的歷史 varied history, 蘇格蘭人是一個具有自豪感的民族a proud people. 他說這導(dǎo)致蘇格蘭人具有一種強(qiáng)烈的民族認(rèn)同感strong identity. 蘇格蘭的詩歌poetry、音樂music和服裝dress 加上他們的生活方式就是的蘇格蘭成為一個具有獨(dú)特民族特征的地區(qū)。
Kate: That's all we've got time for this week. It seems that Scottish customs and traditions are here to stay!
Li: 謝謝收聽，下次節(jié)目再會。
Kate: Bye!
