TOP 1: Lake District

TOP 1: Lake District

　　The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells). With more than 3,500 kilometres of rights of way, visitors can walk, cycle and ride around the beautiful Lake District countryside to their heart's content. And of course they can also get on the water of our lakes and coastline。

　　The Lake District is intimately associated with English literature in the 18th and 19th centuries. Thomas Gray was the first to bring the region to attention, when he wrote a journal of his Grand Tour in 1769, but it was William Wordsworth whose poems were most famous and influential. Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", inspired by the sight of daffodils on the shores of Ullswater, remains one of the most famous in the English language. During the early 20th century, the children's author Beatrix Potter was in residence at Hill Top Farm, setting many of her famous Peter Rabbit books in the Lake District. Her life was made into a biopic film, starring Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor。

　　英國鄉(xiāng)村那些質樸美麗的景致，相信大家在無數名著中都有所耳聞。而湖區(qū) (The Lake District)就是其中的代表。這里可謂是英國人的“后花園”，是本地人心中鄉(xiāng)村中的鄉(xiāng)村，最能體現純本土化的英國式生活。住在城市里的人們總是一有假期就往這里鉆，有錢人都愛這里置業(yè)，安排自己的度假別墅。也難怪，此地青山秀水，無論是家庭聚會還是情侶約會，或者你只是想自己待著，到湖邊轉上一圈，亦是好的。

　　無數名人都曾在這里留下過他們的足跡，包括華茲華斯(William Wordsworth)，和畫兔子的波特小姐(Miss Potter)。如果你也是他們的粉絲，不妨在湖邊漫步的時候順帶瞻仰。

TOP 2: Highland

TOP 2: Highland(1)

　　The Scottish Highlands include the rugged and mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east. The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis。

　　Before the 19th century however the Highlands was home to a much larger population, but due to a combination of factors including the outlawing of the traditional Highland way of life following the Second Jacobite Rising, the infamous Highland Clearances, and mass migration to urban areas during the Industrial Revolution, the area is now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe. The average population density in the Highlands and Islands is lower than that of Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea and Argentina。
