We know the very name Westlife was chosen because 3/5 of the band are immensely proud of their west of Ireland, Co. Sligo roots. Perhaps it's time to discover more...
我们所知道的westlife乐队中,五人中有三人都是来自爱尔兰西部的Sligo。现在我就带着大家在这里好好游览一番……
So what do you want to know then? That the town's name is derived from a Gaelic name, Sligeach, meaning 'place of shells'? That, with a cathedral built in 1874, the place is officially a city? That, situated in Eire's northern corner, it take three hours to get there from Dublin (well, if you drive fast like Shane, maybe?!) Or that here's where Shane, Mark and Kian grew up, here's where they hung out. And here's where you just might find the lads when they nip back to the city following months on the road. After all, why not? There's no place like home...
大家想先从哪一方面了解呢?那我们从头说起,这座小城的得名源于一位叫做Sligeach的盖尔人,意思是“产贝壳的地方”。随着1874年一所大教堂的建成,这个地方开始成为一座城市。
它坐落于爱尔兰的北角,如果你像Shane开车那样快的话,可以用三个小时到达Dublin。这里是Shane、Mark和Kian出生成长的地方;这里是队员们巡演过后享受生活的地方。毕竟哪好都不如家里好。
Ahh...Sligo. If you are looking for that place in Ireland that has enough town, but definitely enough countryside, this is your place. Read on to see what the WL guys have to say about their fave places in their home town...
如果你在爱尔兰寻找此地,它绝对算的上是一座小镇,确切的说是乡下。去听听westlife成员是怎么评价他们的家乡吧。
The Record Room
...Left to right: (1 & 2) The Record Room, where Shane bought his first record. Westlife's faces are above the door and their posters in the upstairs window; (3) A signed disc in the Record Room, celebrating westlife getting five number 1 singles
前两张照片是名为唱片屋的小店,Shane在这里买了他的第一张唱片。从第三张照片大家可以看到,大门上和楼上的窗户上贴有Westlife的海报,一张带有签名的碟,是为了庆祝westlife第五首冠军单曲的诞生。
The Record Room - Shane: "My mother got me my copy of Uptown Girl from The Record Room, way before I remember. There are two record shops in Sligo, Star Records and The Record Room. We'd hang out in the Record Room. The earliest record I remember buying from the Record Room would have been Boyzone's first album, Backstreet's Back, and Now 38... The shop's quite cool cos our pictures are hand painted above the door. Bono and Van Morrison are up there too."
The Record Room 唱片屋
Shane回忆道,我妈妈在那里买了我们Uptown Girl的碟子。在Sligo有两家音像店,明星唱片和唱片屋 。唱片屋推崇我们的唱片。还记得我买的最早的一张碟应该是Boyzone的第一张唱片,然后是Backstreet's Back,现在已经有38张了……这家店很棒,因为他们把我们的手绘版的海报挂在店铺的门上。Bono和Van Morrison 的也有。
The river in Sligo
Garavogue - Shane: "I used to fish on the river with my Uncle Joe, who passed away a couple of years ago. We had a good time back then, I would have been eleven or twelve and we'd hang out down there. He was a great fisherman, and even Nicky is as well, but I'm not that great to be honest with ya! It's nice and relaxing, but I think I've caught two tiddlers my entire life!"
