If you go to Stratford-upon-Avon, you will see nothing but Shakespeare.  When you come to Grasmere, in the Lake District, you will see nothing but Wordsworth. While it must be kept in mind that Wordsworth was not the only Lake poet.  Coleridge and Southey were also Lake poets, but it was indeed Wordsworth, that became poet Laureate. This is his home. The scenes that follow, are the scenes which had inspired his poetry. The beauty of the Lake, immortalised by his words, remain one of the most beautiful places on our planet Earth.

到了Stratford-upon-Avon,處處可見莎士比亞的蹤跡。而到了Grasmere,處處都是Wordsworth。Wordsworth並非唯一的湖區詩人。Coleridge和Southey也同是。但畢竟被指定為桂冠詩人的,就是Wordsworth。這裡就是他的家鄉。以下景色,正是他的靈感來源。這裡的美景,在他的筆下化為不朽。至今,依然是這世界上最美的角落之一。

The place was famous for their gingerbread. But as I didn't fancy gingerbread, I saved myself some quid.

這裡的薑餅好像挺出名的。不過我對薑餅沒興趣,所以就把錢省下來了。

Stroll along the streets at a very relaxed pace. There is no need to hurry. The scenery will not escape. This is a day you baptise yourself in the bard's fountain of inspiration.

腳步放慢、輕鬆遊走。不需急迫。美景不會流逝。這一天,你要在詩人的靈感來源處受洗。

天仙唸︰湖區雖美、但唯一的缺點就是氣候很不穩定。這天整天沒下雨,已經可以算是超級幸運的了!
