1.Imagine that while walking through a park one day,you begin to notice strange things all around you.People in colorful clothes from centuries ago walk on the roads.A magician is doing amazing tricks.Musicians play strange music on strange instruments.Knights(骑士)on horseback show their skills in riding competitions.The smell of roasting meat begins to make your mouth water.A pleasant voice shouts,"Good morrow!"What is going on?Have you traveled back in time?In a way,yes.You have found yourself in the midst of a Renaissance fair(文艺复兴嘉年华)!Since the 1960s,Renaissance fairs have become more and more popular in the US and Canada.Communities in at least 44states and two Canadian provinces now hold Renaissance fairs every year.The first Renaissance fair was started in the 1960s by a school teacher in southern California named Phyllis Patterson.She wanted to give her students a real-life history experience,so she created the"Renaissance Fair"in her backyard.The rest,as they say,is history.
Since Renaissance fairs are"living history",you might think they are designed to be mainly educational.It's true that some people try to make the fairs as genuine as possible.However,for many others,the key word is entertainment.With all the musicians and magicians walking about,you will be surely pleased.A Renaissance fair will be a feast for your eyes and ears,not to mention your stomach.
