迷人的水流很深(Enchanted waters run deep)
苏格兰迷人的斯凯岛是斯利加坎老桥的所在地,该桥由多产的苏格兰土木工程师托马斯·特尔福德于19世纪初设计和建造。这座桥横跨一条同名河流,只有骑自行车的人和行人才能进入,而下游的一座现代桥则为汽车交通服务。从桥上风化、简陋、长满青苔的石头上,游客可以欣赏到远处雄伟的翠林山脉。根据当地传统,斯利加坎河的河水中蕴藏着仙女们提供的神秘祝福。那些敢于将自己的脸沉浸在这些水中的人被认为是天生的永恒之美。

The enchanting Isle of Skye in Scotland is home to the Sligachan Old Bridge, engineered and built by Thomas Telford, a prolific Scottish civil engineer, in the early 1800s. The bridge arches over a river of the same name, and is accessible only to cyclists and pedestrians, while a modern bridge downstream serves car traffic. From atop the bridge's weathered, humble and mossy stones, travellers can take in the majestic Cuillin Mountains in the distance. According to local tradition, the Sligachan River's water contains a mysterious blessing provided by fairies. Those who dare to immerse their faces in these waters are said to be gifted with timeless beauty.
