爱尔兰英⽂导游词爱尔兰英⽂介绍Republic of Ireland⽤英语介绍爱尔兰As far as tourist appeal goes, the small island of Ireland punches far above its own weight. The country is so packed with delights that visitors are often reduced to describing its charms in hyperbolic clichés: it is the greenest country, full of the friendliest people, all of whom would be geniuses if they weren't distracted by the lure of the pub.Ireland is indeed a green country - so much rainfall must have its benefits - and the people are justifiably renowned for their friendliness. As for the geniuses, well, the Irish will proudly point to their four Nobel Laureates for Literature and declare that the success rate is unmatched in any other country of its size, all the while ensuring that the sacred 'round' system (where everyone buys a drink for everyone else in turn) is strictly adhered to.Yet Ireland's charms run far deeper than the legendary craic of the pub or the accomplishments of a bunch of (mostly) dead writers. It has a remarkable history that is woven into virtually everything, from the prehistoric stone monuments of the Boyne Valley to the monuments honouring its fallen patriots, men and women who dared challenge the imperious might of its longtime occupier and contemporary friend, Britain.It has a vibrant and dynamic capital, Dublin, which has spearheaded a stunning period of economic growth that has seen the country transformed from rural backwater to the envy of Europe. As a result, the Irish have grown in worldliness that continues to propel them to greater heights of achievement. Even the thorniest issue of all - Northern Ireland - has seen a kind of resolution and Ireland looks to the future with untrammelled confidence.位于欧洲西部的爱尔兰岛南部。

爱尔兰马铃薯饥荒爱尔兰曾经孕育了古凯尔特文明。
罗马帝国灭亡后,爱尔兰教会甚至一度能够和正统的罗马教会分庭抗礼( “圣诞树”这个习俗实际上就是来自于凯尔特教会)。
从16-17世纪开始,英格兰的诸个王朝就开始征服爱尔兰。
资产阶级革命后,克伦威尔派兵镇压爱尔兰人起义,大量屠杀信仰天主教的当地居民。
1801年,爱尔兰正式并入了联合王国的一部分。
在英国统治下,一方面爱尔兰始终没有如英格兰那样发展起工业;另一方面,随着大量移民的涌入,人口激增和土地兼并成为主要的问题。
大部分地主都居住在英格兰,高达人口8成的小农大部分是天主教徒。
他们为了养活自己,不得不大量种植土豆,导致爱尔兰的农作物高度单一。
这些都为后来的大饥荒埋下了伏笔。
从1845年开始,一种名为“晚疫病”的瘟疫席卷了爱尔兰,导致了大部分土豆腐烂。
7年间,爱尔兰人口减少了1/4,逃亡海外者高达100万人。
这场空前的饥荒于是又被称为“马铃薯饥荒”(Irish Potato Famine)。
这场灾难对爱尔兰的影响实在过于深远,以至于爱尔兰史的研究都被分成“饥荒前”和“饥荒后”两个时段。
印欧语系(Indo-European family),世界上分布区域最广的语系,使用者几乎遍及整个欧洲、美洲、澳洲,还有亚洲和非洲的部分地区。
印欧语系包括约443种(SIL统计)语言和方言。
而以某一种印欧语言为自己母语的人,加起来有15亿以上。
伦敦当地下层阶级的口音是非常土的,比较有名的是东伦敦地区的Cockney口音,也就是《两杆大烟枪》里面经常出现的(口音最重的是那父子俩)。
一般来说受到教育的人不会说这种口音。
他们说的是比较纯正的Received Pronunciation,比如托尼·布莱尔在国会发表演讲时的口音,又比如BBC的播音员的口音。
但是随着时代发展,这种观点也在受到非常强的挑战。
因为Cockney口音在影视作品中的经常出现,尤其是在动作片当中表现人物的硬朗,这种口音逐渐被英语国家的人熟悉,甚至有的时候受到相当的追捧,几乎到了凡是动作片都用Cockney的地步。
