If you like unusual places, you should visit the
Hebrides Islands. Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of
Scotland. The land is not good for farming. It’s only good for keeping sheep (绵羊). The winters are long, cold, and wet. It’s hard to
make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very
special.
They’re not for everyone. Even summer days are cool
and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are only a few trees
and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The
hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view (风景) looks like pictures of the moon.
But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you
can often see all the ways to the rocky hills. From the hills you can see far
out to other islands and the open ocean. The colors, too, are special. Blue is
everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. In the spring there is also green
in the hills. In the summer and winter the hills are more purple.
On these islands you can forget about the rest of the
world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any
nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house or a Bed. This is the best way to
learn about life on the islands. The islanders are often friendly, and they like
to talk.
If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the
pubs (酒吧) or even the shops. People are in no hurry
here. They like to chat about the weather or the fishing.
Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping. Come to walk
in the clean, cool air. Come for the quiet beauty and for the views.
