You are watching Vagabrothers and right now we're in Scotland dressed as Vikings.

您正在收看的是 "流浪兄弟"，現在我們在蘇格蘭裝扮成維京人。

We're here for the Apella Viking Fire Festival in the Shetland Islands.

我們是來參加設得蘭群島的阿佩拉維京火節的。

Let's go Okay everyone, welcome to our exploration of the Shetland Islands.

好了，各位，歡迎來到設得蘭群島探索之旅。

Before we get into the heart of the festival of Apella, we are exploring around the various islands here in the Shetlands and really trying to get a hold of the Viking culture.

在我們進入阿佩拉節的中心之前，我們正在設得蘭群島的各個島嶼上四處探險，真正嘗試瞭解維京文化。

The Shetland Islands are unlike any other part of Scotland.

設得蘭群島與蘇格蘭其他地區不同。

Closer to Western Norway than Edinburgh, they're just below the Arctic Circle, higher than Stockholm on the same latitude as Greenland.

它們比愛丁堡更靠近挪威西部，就在北極圈下方，比斯德哥爾摩還要高，與格陵蘭島位於同一緯度。

The Shetland Islands were conquered by the Vikings over 1,200 years ago, and they remained part of Norway until the 15th century.

設得蘭群島在 1200 多年前被維京人征服，直到 15 世紀仍是挪威的一部分。

Even today, although it's Scottish, you can still feel the Viking heritage, and that's best expressed in Apella, the festival of fire that begins in just a few days.

時至今日，雖然這裡已是蘇格蘭，但您仍能感受到維京人的傳統，這一點在幾天後開始的阿佩拉（Apella）火祭中得到了最好的體現。

To this day, 90% of the place names come from Old Norse.

時至今日，90% 的地名都來自古挪威語。

Two-thirds of all Shetlanders have Norwegian DNA, and the dialect is peppered full of Nordic words.

三分之二的設得蘭人都有挪威基因，方言中充滿了北歐詞彙。

The Shetland Islands are full of Viking history and heritage, and to get a better grasp on why the Vikings chose to settle here, we're at Viking Unst in the northernmost island of Scotland with archaeologist Val Turner.

設得蘭群島充滿了維京人的歷史和遺產，為了更好地瞭解維京人選擇在此定居的原因，我們與考古學家瓦爾-特納（Val Turner）一起來到了蘇格蘭最北端的維京恩斯特島。

I'm Val Turner, and I'm the regional archaeologist for Shetland, and we are standing at a place called Haraldswyk, which means the bay where King Harald came ashore, the Viking King Harald.

我叫瓦爾-特納，是設得蘭地區的考古學家，我們現在所站的地方叫哈拉爾德斯韋克，意思是哈拉爾德國王上岸的海灣，維京國王哈拉爾德。

In terms of its Viking archaeology, it's absolutely amazing, because we have at least the remains of 60 Viking farms in the island, which is more rural settlement than we found anywhere else, including in Scandinavia.

就維京考古而言，它絕對令人驚歎，因為我們在島上至少發現了 60 個維京農場的遺蹟，這比我們在包括斯堪的納維亞在內的其他任何地方發現的農村定居點都要多。

There's not that density of rural Viking farms anywhere.

任何地方都沒有如此密集的維京鄉村農場。

Well, I think because Unst is bang in the middle of the Viking seaways, so wherever they set out from when they went out from Norway, wherever they were going, whether they were going down to the west of Scotland or north up to Faroe and Iceland or across to Newfoundland and America, Shetland was bang in the middle of their route.

嗯，我想是因為恩斯特位於維京航道的正中間，所以當他們從挪威出發時，無論他們要去哪裡，是去蘇格蘭西部，還是北上法羅群島和冰島，或是橫跨紐芬蘭和美洲，設得蘭都位於他們航線的正中間。

There's plenty of different theories as to why the Vikings left Scandinavia, but when they did, it was ships like this that carried them to the far corners of the earth.

關於維京人為何離開斯堪的納維亞半島，有很多不同的說法，但當他們離開時，正是這樣的船隻把他們帶到了地球的各個角落。

And it's pretty mind-boggling to think that the Vikings crossed the North Atlantic.

維京人橫跨北大西洋，這實在令人匪夷所思。

They made it to Canada hundreds of years before Columbus made it to the New World as the first European, and they were even rumored to have made it all the way east to Afghanistan.

早在哥倫布作為第一個歐洲人來到新大陸的幾百年前，他們就來到了加拿大，甚至有傳言說他們一路向東來到了阿富汗。

So being out here, being on this ship, it's pretty awesome.

在這裡，在這艘船上，感覺棒極了。

The Vikings arrived in Shetland 1,200 years ago when an exploding population in Scandinavia forced them to flee overseas in search of resources and farmland.

1200 年前，斯堪的納維亞半島人口激增，維京人不得不逃往海外尋找資源和農田，於是他們來到了設得蘭。

There's too many people, and it's not enough smorgasbord to feed the babies.

人太多了，沒有足夠的大雜燴來餵飽嬰兒。

Five months paid paternity leave to help out mom around the longhouse?

休五個月的帶薪陪產假，幫媽媽打理長屋？

Village!  Using the revolutionary technology of their long ships, they reached 37 countries from Canada to Afghanistan, building extensive trading networks and striking fear into the hearts of many millions more.

村莊  他們利用長船的革命性技術，到達了從加拿大到阿富汗的 37 個國家，建立了廣泛的貿易網絡，讓數百萬人心驚膽戰。

As the Vikings made their way across the North Atlantic from Iceland to Greenland to Newfoundland, the Shetland Islands, just a couple hundred miles off the west coast of Norway, became an ideal jumping-off point for further raids and excursions in the British Isles.

當維京人從冰島到格陵蘭再到紐芬蘭，一路橫跨北大西洋時，距離挪威西海岸僅幾百英里的設得蘭群島成為了他們進一步襲擊和遊覽不列顛群島的理想跳板。

They conquered the local Picts and introduced Norse laws, language, and forms of fishing, farming, and building that still exist today.

他們征服了當地的皮克特人，並引入了北歐法律、語言以及捕魚、耕作和建築等形式，這些至今仍然存在。

我喜歡優秀的斯堪的納維亞設計。

I got it from some old bald Christian guys down in England, and then I killed them.

我從英國的幾個禿頭基督徒老頭那裡弄來的，然後我殺了他們。

All right, ladies and gents, welcome to Lerwick, the capital of the Shetland Islands.

好了，女士們先生們，歡迎來到設得蘭群島首府勒威克。

Today is the Apella celebrations here in the capital.

It's a festival that happens in various forms from January to March all across the islands and different villages.

這個節日從一月到三月以各種形式在各個島嶼和村莊舉行。

It's actually the biggest fire festival in Europe.

這實際上是歐洲最大的消防節。

We hear lots of, and there is a procession coming down the main street here, and I think it's a procession of Vikings.

我們聽到很多聲音，有一支隊伍從這裡的主街上走來，我想這是維京人的隊伍。

Five years ago, we came to Scotland for New Year's, or Hogmanay, and that's where they have a big fireball celebration in Stonehaven.

五年前，我們來到蘇格蘭過新年，也就是 "霍格馬奈 "節，那是他們在斯頓黑文舉行盛大火球慶祝活動的地方。

We've also been to the York Viking Festival in York, England.

我們還參加了英國約克的約克維京節。

This is a combination of the Stonehaven fire ceremony and Viking Festival.

這是斯通哈文社火儀式和維京節的結合。

Let's go.  Fire!  We're right here in front of this big bill.

我們走  著火了  我們就在這個大賬單前面

It's kind of like a proclamation that kind of lampoons the local population.

這有點像一個宣言，有點嘲弄當地居民的意思。

It's tongue-in-cheek jokes, and it has its roots back in the Viking saga, like a lot of this festival.

這是個詼諧的笑話，它的根源可以追溯到維京傳奇，就像這個節日的很多內容一樣。

The procession of the Jarl Squad, which are the guys dressed up as Vikings, are going past us right now.

賈爾小隊的隊伍，也就是那些打扮成維京人的傢伙，正從我們身邊走過。

今天，我們還迎來了一位新朋友。

As part of the Scotland Life campaign, Visit Scotland has teamed us up with a local to experience the festival.

作為 "蘇格蘭生活"（Scotland Life）活動的一部分，蘇格蘭旅遊局（Visit Scotland）為我們安排了一位當地人體驗節日。

We're here with Stephen Mercer, a local filmmaker who has recently made a film about Vikings.

我們在這裡採訪的是斯蒂芬-默瑟，他是一位當地電影製作人，最近拍攝了一部關於維京人的電影。

I think it's quite a spectacle, actually.

I'm going to try and get to every single fire festival in Shetland.

我要努力參加設得蘭的每一個消防節。

We're down by the waterfront right now here in Lerwick, and this is the Viking longship, the replica longship that's going to be burnt tonight.

我們現在就在勒威克的海濱，這就是維京長船，今晚將被燒燬的仿製長船。

They've aptly named it Blaze Away, but it has a dragon head on the front, the tail on the back.

他們給它起名叫 "Blaze Away"，很貼切，但它的龍頭在前面，龍尾在後面。

Traditionally, Viking longships would have animal heads, whether it's a wolf or a dragon or a sea monster, and they would use that to scare away enemy spirits in different lands.

傳統上，維京人的長船上都會有動物頭像，無論是狼、龍還是海怪，他們都會用這些頭像來嚇走不同土地上的敵方精靈。

When they landed, they wanted to have the Norse gods behind them ready to conquer, ready to pillage, and ready to burn, and this ship is ready to burn.

當他們登陸時，他們希望身後的北歐諸神隨時準備征服、掠奪和焚燒，而這艘船就是準備焚燒的。

The festival itself only lasts an hour from lighting the torches to burning the ship, but there's a full year of preparation that goes into this.

從點燃火把到焚燒船隻，節日本身只持續一個小時，但這需要一整年的準備。

There's a lot of artisans who are working to build not just the ship, but all the armor that people have, and there's all sorts of antique armor from previous festivals displayed in storefront windows throughout town.

有很多工匠不僅在建造飛船，還在建造人們擁有的所有盔甲，整個小鎮的店面櫥窗裡都擺放著歷屆節日的各種古董盔甲。

Now we're going to go meet some of the Jarl Squad.

現在我們要去見一些賈爾小隊的人。

There's the head Jarl who is basically the Lord of Lerwick for the day and his Vikings that go with him.

首領賈爾基本上就是勒威克一天的領主，他的維京人也跟著他。

We're going to go meet them and find out about all the preparation that goes into this festival throughout the year and why it's such an honor to be part of it.  I'm Hayden Jimmison.

我們將與他們見面，瞭解他們一年來為電影節所做的準備工作，以及能參與其中是何等榮幸。  我是海登-吉米森。

I'm the Jarl's son of the 2018 guys at Jarl Squad for El Pelea and the Shetland Islands.

我是 2018 年埃爾-佩雷亞和設得蘭群島賈爾小隊的賈爾之子。

So at the moment you can see I'm dressed up in our Viking outfit that we've made completely from scratch.

所以，現在你可以看到我穿著我們完全從零開始製作的維京裝。

It's been a lot of hard work throughout the year, all for this big day.

一年來的辛勤工作，都是為了這個大日子。

My first experience at El Pelea was in 2004 when I was nine years old.

我第一次在 El Pelea 的經歷是在 2004 年，當時我 9 歲。

My father's the guys at Jarl, so he's in charge of the festival today.

我父親是賈爾公司的人，所以今天的慶典由他負責。

It took him 13 years to get to this stage and you serve your time on the committee and from there you get to have the big day.

他花了 13 年的時間才走到這一步，你在委員會工作了一段時間，然後你就可以迎來大喜的日子。

Now we have learned a little bit about the background of this festival, and it's time to experience it.

現在，我們已經對這個節日的背景有了一些瞭解，是時候去體驗一下了。

The Jarl Squad has reassembled, hopped on their buses, and they're going into town to start the procession.

賈爾小隊已經重新集結完畢，跳上巴士，準備進城開始遊行。

We can actually hear the Jarls getting a little bit further away.

實際上，我們可以聽到賈爾斯人離我們越來越遠。

The entire festival is going to culminate when the longship is burnt to a crisp.

當長船被燒成灰燼時，整個節日將達到高潮。

We're now walking down to where they're going to burn the ship.

我們現在正走到他們要燒船的地方。

There are about a thousand people with torches, but they're not all Vikings.

大約有一千人拿著火把，但他們並不都是維京人。

The rest of them are known as geysers, which is a word that derives from the same word as to wear a disguise, like an outfit.

其餘的人被稱為 "噴泉"，這個詞與 "偽裝 "一詞同源，就像穿衣服一樣。

I've never heard it before, but that's what they say down here.

我以前從沒聽過，但這裡的人都這麼說。

If you're a pyromaniac, this is the best festival in the world.

如果你是一個焰火狂，這是世界上最好的節日。

And I also think that everyone has a little bit of pyromaniac.

我還認為，每個人都有一點著火狂。

I'm sticking by my theory, Burning Man of Scotland.

我堅持我的理論，蘇格蘭的 "火人"。
