今日胡言亂語內容提要:
要過年了,要過情人節了,2月這個充滿懶散和浪漫的季節裡,一年一度寵愛自己的機會來了。冰島這個處處是驚豔的地方會給你無限靈感,在那裡求個婚,表個白都是有可能發生的。
友人Abi剛從那裡回來,每天滔滔不絕的講冰島有多值得去,於是,小爺決定不枉她的熱情和苦口婆心,根據她的講述整理了去冰島必須做的事。
Blue Lagoon - 冰島藍湖
This geothermally-heated pool has become Iceland's must-do. Its water reaches up to 38 degrees and its algae, minerals and silica is said to condition and rejuvenate the skin.
這個地熱溫泉成了來冰島的必訪之地。溫泉水的溫度達到38度,水中豐富的藻類,礦物質及二氧化矽可以讓你的皮膚容光煥發。
algae 【』ldi】- 藻類
rejuvenate 【r』duvnet】- 使年輕;使復原
*女生要特別注意這個詞,很多護膚品上會出現,也就是能讓你肌膚煥採的意思。
Gullfoss - 古佛斯瀑布
Gullfoss is an enormous and breathtaking waterfall on the Hvita river.
在白河,有嘆為觀止的巨大瀑布 - 古佛斯瀑布
breathtaking 【』brθtek】- 令人驚嘆的
Geysir - 蓋錫爾
You can see regular geothermal eruptions at Geysir, although it's actually its smaller neighbour, Strokkur, that goes off every 10 minutes or so.
你可以在蓋錫爾間歇泉看到熱地噴發,規模相對較小的Strokkur間歇泉就在蓋錫爾附近,大概10分鐘就會噴發一次。
geothermal 【dio』θml】- 地熱的;
Thingvellir National Park - 辛格韋德利國家公園
Thingvellir National Park is where you can see the join between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
在辛格韋德利國家公園,你可以看到歐亞板塊和北美板塊造成的裂谷。
Reykjavik - 雷克雅維克
Reykjavik is Iceland's capital city and the embodiment of the Icelandic culture of self-sufficiency and a keen interest in the arts.
雷克雅維克是冰島的首都,它不僅體現了冰島自給自足的文化,也體現了冰島人對藝術的濃厚興趣。
embodiment 【m』bɑdmnt】- 體現,化身
the embodiment of sth - 某事的化身,體現
Hallgrimskirkja church - 哈爾格林姆教堂
For 900 Krona you can take the lift to the top of Hallgrimskirkja for unparalleled views over the city.
只要付900冰島克朗,你就可以坐電梯到哈爾格林姆教堂的頂樓俯瞰整個城市。
unparalleled 【n』prlld】- 前所未有的;無與倫比的;
Saga Museum - 傳奇博物館
Down by the harbor, the Saga Museum is the place to learn all about Iceland's Viking history. You can even try some authentic armor or just go for the faux fur and sword option like me.
往港口走,你會看到傳奇博物館,在館內你可以了解冰島維京人的所有歷史。你可以在裡面體驗真實的鎧甲,或者像我一樣穿人造皮革再配上一把劍。
authentic【』θntk】- 真實的;可信的;
平時我們說的「正宗的,原汁原味的「就能用這個詞
Laxnes Horse Farm - Laxnes 馬場
About 15 minutes outside of Reykjavik is the Laxnes Horse Farm.
Fun fact: Icelandic horses have five gaits, which is two more than any other breed.
Laxnes馬場距離雷克雅克大約15分鐘的車程。一個有趣的小知識:冰島的馬有五種步態,比其他馬還要多上兩種。
Hiring a car - 租車
Hiring a car is absolutely the best way to experience Iceland.
The Ring Road runs around the entire country and if you want to do the whole thing, we'd give it at least two weeks.
體驗冰島的最佳方式就是租一臺車,一號環島公路可以讓你遊玩整個冰島,如果你每個景點都想要走走看看的話,至少花上兩周。
Seljalandsfoss - 塞裡雅蘭瀑布
Seljalandsfoss is just off the Ring Road, about 90 minutes South-East of Reykjavik. Part of this one's charm is you can walk all the way around behind it, but you'll need waterproofs!
塞裡雅蘭瀑布就在環島公路上,在雷克雅維克的東南方,車程約90分鐘。這個瀑布的迷人之處就是你可以順著步道走進瀑布後面,但你會需要帶上防水衣物。
Skogafoss - 斯克加爾瀑布(彩虹瀑布)
About 15 minutes, further along, is the giant waterfall, Skogafoss.
We're at the top of Skogafoss. It's absolutely beautiful but nothing like what I expected. There are stairs that you can climb, all the way to the top, and believe me, it takes a while to take your time. But the real gem is actually back here. So you climb over a fence, it's quite muddy, quite uneven terrain as well, but it's beautiful. You can see all the way down, where the river runs, and it's genuinely the most beautiful Icelandic scenery I've seen so far.
再開大約15分鐘,你會看到另一座更大的瀑布--斯克加爾瀑布。我們現在在斯克加爾瀑布的頂端,美的超出我的想像。你可以沿著任何一條步道爬上頂端,這真的需要花蠻久的。當你跨過柵欄,你會發現地勢非常崎嶇,泥濘,但這裡的景色真的美翻了。你可以將瀑布奔馳而下的美景盡收眼底,這真的是我目前為止在冰島看過最漂亮的景色。
gem 【dm】- 珍寶;受人重視的
*要表達對一個人喜愛或者ta的重要性,可以說:you’re a gem.
uneven 【n』ivn】 - 不均勻的;奇數的
Seljavallalaug - 野溪溫泉
Seljavallalaug is a secret geothermal pool.
To get to it, you drive to the end of road 242, leave your car and then hike the rest of the way through a breathtaking valley. It's not the easiest of routes but it is worth it.
野溪溫泉是個秘境溫泉。想去那裡,你要沿著242公路開到底,停了車,徒步走過引人入勝的山谷。這段路不是非常好走,但這是值得的!
Reynisfjara beach - 黑沙灘
Up next, Reynisfjara beach. Well, just take a look for yourself - it's stunning. And now it's the canyon with the impossible name.
走,下一站,黑沙灘。你自己看看吧!這實在太讓人驚豔了。接下來是一座我讀不出名字的峽谷(羽毛峽谷)
canyon - 羽毛峽谷
The canyon is totally off the tourist track. It's over 100 meters deep and 2km long. Next up is one of the most beautiful places we visited in Iceland.
這座峽谷深達100公尺,長達2公裡,讓遊客只可遠觀。緊接著是我們覺得冰島其中一個最美的地方。
Jokulsarlon - 冰河湖
Jokulsarlon translates as "glacier river lagoon", and basically it's just where the sea over there, meets the glacier and it breaks off into all of these chunks. Personally, I think it's the best place for a bit of photography.
Jokulsarlon的意思就是【冰河湖】,基本上就是海和冰川崩解後所形成的一塊塊浮冰。我個人認為這是個拍照的絕佳地。
Glacier hiking - 冰川健行
Glacier hiking was easily my favourite Iceland experience. The sheer scale of this landscape leaves you in awe. And, the climbing itself wasn't as easy as it looks.
冰川健行是我在冰島最愛的體驗。這些景色的規模絕對讓你嘆為觀止。另外,這個行程可不是像看起來那麼簡單的(體力,膽量不行的就別勉強,這個確實有點挑戰的。)
Ice cave - 冰洞
Only around in winter, the ice caves at Vatnajokull glacier have to be seen to be believed. We did a tour with the guys from iceguide.is. They provided all the extra kit we needed and are really friendly and true experts when it comes to exploring the caves.
只有在冬天,旅客才有機會一睹瓦特冰原的藍冰洞之美。我們冰凍探索之旅是參加的 iceguide.is的團。他們提供了行程當中所有需要用到的裝備。不但很親切,而且真的是冰洞的專家。
Northern Light - 極光
Iceland is one of the best countries for seeing the Northern Lights. When I eventually saw them, the colours and sheer vibrancy were something I'll never forget.
冰島是最適合看極光的國家之一。當我終於看到極光的那一刻,這是我永遠也不會忘記的畫面,色彩交織,簡直絕了。
So that was our top things to do.
Hopefully we've given you some inspiration for your own adventures.
以上就是我們在冰島全部行程,希望也能給你自己的旅程有些啟發和規劃。
