翡翠岛中的一个翡翠岛(An emerald isle of the Emerald Isle)

如果你发现自己在3月17日游荡在伊尼舍尔的小岛上，你几乎肯定会听到有人用一句热情的“Láfhéile Pádraig sona dhuit”问候你这是因为岛上几乎所有的260名居民都想用他们的爱尔兰母语祝你圣帕特里克节快乐。横跨西爱尔兰高威湾河口的三个阿兰群岛中最小的一个，从史前就有人居住，青铜时代、异教徒、凯尔特人、早期基督教、诺曼爱尔兰人、田园牧民、海上航行以及最近的定居点的文物散布在其1400英亩的土地上。
原文：
If you were to find yourself wandering across the tiny island of Inisheer on March 17, you’d almost certainly hear someone greet you with a hearty 'Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit!' That’s because nearly all the island’s 260 residents would want to wish you a happy Saint Patrick’s Day in their native Irish tongue. The smallest of the three Aran Islands that are strung across the mouth of Galway Bay in western Ireland has been inhabited from prehistory, with artifacts of Bronze Age, Pagan, Celtic, Early Christian, Norman-Irish, Pastoral, Maritime Navigational, and more recent settlements scattered around its 1,400 acres.
