原文及翻譯
The most famous travels of the Vikings were in the Atlantic Ocean. Vikings sailed westward to the island of Iceland, where many of them stayed. Today, the people of Iceland were descended from the Vikings. Some Vikings sailed further west to the cold island of Greenland.
維京人最著名的旅行是在大西洋。維京人向西航行到冰島島,許多人都在那里定居。如今,冰島人是維京人的后裔。一些維京人進一步向西航行到寒冷的格陵蘭島。
Vikings lived in Greenland for several generations, but eventually they died out. Some Vikings had gone even farther west and reached the Canadian island of Newfoundland. The Vikings only stayed for a few years, but they had reached North America about 500 years before Christopher Columbus.
維京人在格陵蘭島生活了幾代,但最終他們滅絕了。一些維京人甚至向西走得更遠,到達了加拿大的紐芬蘭島。維京人只停留了幾年,但他們在克里斯托弗·哥倫布之前大約 500 年就到達了北美。
Gradually, the Vikings became converted to the Christian religion. They also stopped raiding the towns of Europe and, instead of fighting, they began trading with their neighbors. Today, the Scandinavian countries are known as very peace-loving nations.
漸漸地,維京人皈依了基督教。他們也停止了劫掠歐洲城鎮(zhèn),他們不再打仗,而是開始與鄰國進行貿(mào)易。今天,斯堪的納維亞國家被稱為非常愛好和平的國家。
