2、when you hike tyrough the hills and stumble across the ruins of a deserted shieling. You see it in the weatherworm stones of turreted castales. You hear in in rousing Border ballads and haunting Hebridean melodies.1. 苏格兰令人心仪的地方都连着一段历史。置身格伦科山谷，会感到历史之森然。1692年那个背信弃义的冬夜，坎贝尔上尉率兵趁麦克唐纳族人熟睡时将他们杀害。穿越绵绵山丘，偶见荒

5、compare favourably with other top tourist destinations.2. 英国人莱斯利.斯蒂芬是真正的登山先驱之一。1871年，瑞士旅游业还处于起步阶段，斯蒂芬就出版了关于攀登瑞士阿尔卑斯山的一本书，恰如其分地使用了欧洲的运动场这一书名。如果说瑞士那时就是运动场，那么现在就更是这样的一个运动场了。但是，瑞士发生了改变，不再是知识为少数人那提供迷人景色、一流宾馆、冬季运动项目和疗养胜地。瑞士的少女峰地区提供了一切的一切，从宁静的环境到激动人心的体育运动，其价格可以和其他顶级旅游项目目的地媲美。3. 在中国的许多“长在深闺人未识”的景观绿需得到发现，向世人
6、开放；一批有悠久历史的人文景观，如山东孔府、孔庙，西安秦始皇兵马俑，承德避暑山庄，也重放异彩。3.

10、是很多，但有时会涉及到所介绍景点的历史故事，这样的历史故事一般可以直译。例如：例一：In 2005,the Glacier Express celebrated its 75th anniversary.It all began in the golden years of the 1920s.As a result of the reports by keen alpine climbers of their adventures,memebeers of high society with a yearning to travel came from all over the world
11、to discover the stark beauty of the Swiss Alps.Previously remote mountain villages like Zermatt and St.Moritz turned into sophisticated rstorts. The powers discovered the potential of adventure tours by rail,and finally,on June 25th,1930,the Glacier Express made its first trip from St.Moritz to Zerm
12、att.At that time, the trip lasted 11hours,and passengers travelled in elegant saloon carriages and specially converted passenger trains. 2005年，冰川快车迎来了自己75周年生日的庆典。一切都始于20世纪20年代的黄金时代。当时，对阿尔卑斯登山爱好者冒险行为的报道吸引了世界各地上流社会成员前来探索瑞士阿尔卑斯山的荒凉之美，于是采马特和圣莫里茨冬等以前偏僻的山村变成了著名的旅游胜地。政府发现了火车探险旅游的潜力，最终，冰川快车于1930年6月25日首次从圣莫里
13、茨开往采马特。当时，整个旅程耗时11小时，旅客乘坐的是优雅的特等客车和经特别改装的客车。例二： Of courseyour journey through Scotland may not take you this way,but wherever you go youre in for a treat.You might linger in the Borders to explore the footsteps ruins of once-powerful abbeys or fish for plump salmon in the Tweed.Or follow in the foot
14、steps of Rob Roy and Walter Scott through the Trossachs to soak up the “scenery of a fairy dream”,as Scott described it .Perhaps you will potter around colorful fishing villages in the Kingdom of Fife and tee off on the legendary Old Course in St Andrew.Or venture into Speyside to tickle your tastab
15、uds on the malt whisky trail. If it is drama you are after,you will head for the Highlands,a vast swathe of untamed widerness fringed by mile upon mile of fretted cosatline dotted with islands. 当然，您的苏格兰之旅未必会取行此道，但不管去何方，肯定都会乐在其中。您也许会漫游在英格兰和苏格兰交界地区，探索曾经声威赫赫、如今仍不失威严的寺院废墟，或是在特威德河畔调去肥美的鲑鱼，或是沿罗布.罗伊和司各特当年的
16、足迹，穿越特洛萨克斯河谷、去领略司各特笔下那“梦中的仙境”。您也许会徜徉于法夫郡那多姿多彩的渔村，在富有传奇色彩的圣安德鲁斯老球场挥上几杆，或是冒险北上去斯佩河酒厂，让扑面而来的威士忌酒香撩拨您的味蕾。如果您探寻的是富有戏剧性的景象，那就去西北高地吧。那是一片广袤而粗狂的原野，四周镶嵌着参差的海岸线，点缀这个大大小小的岛屿。 以上两个例子的原文涉及到经典的历史或者文学典故，这样的地方均可直译，让中文读者去了解和感受所介绍经典的历史或文化氛围。 中国是个有着悠久历史的文明古国，很多地方都有这样或那样的历史故事或典故，正如孟庆升（2009：79）指出，“中国的大好河山遍布着历史陈迹。每个景区的一山一石、一草一木都曾演绎过令人著迷的历史故事，像一面面古老的镜子映照出历史的沧桑。每个景区的旅游资料中往往都会出现有关这些历史故事的古代年号、历史名人或典故等。”虽然“每个景区的一山一石、一草一木都曾演绎过令人著迷的历史故事”有些绝对，但是中国毕竟
