冰上溜石游戏是一种在冰上玩的运动。从17世纪早期以来,苏格兰成了它真正的故乡。这一游戏从规则上来说与草地滚木游戏相似,两者不同之处在于冰上溜石游戏是用笨重的扃石头在冰上滑动。
Like golf, curling can claim to be both Royal and ancient. Tradition has it that the Stuart Kings were curlers, and both Mary Queen of Scots and Damley are reputed to have played.
和高尔夫一样,冰上溜石游戏也具有古老的皇家传统。传统上人们认为,历代斯图亚特王朝的国王以及苏格兰的玛利女王和她的丈夫达恩利都是此项运动的爱好者。
Among games less widely popular, but still played with great enthusiasm, shinty is one of the most traditional. Played with a ball made of cork and leather, and a wooden club,it used to be popular among all ages, particularly around the Christmas season, but now is usually indulged in only by the more youthful members ofthe community.
在虽不太流行但仍拥有热心爱好者的运动当中,简化曲滚球是最传统的一种。做这种游戏,需要一个有软木和皮革制成的球,和一根木棍。该游戏曾流行于各个年龄的人们当中,尤其是在圣诞节前后。不过,现在进行这种运动的多是些年轻人。
Shinty is a fine free game, and the Scottish bag pipes play apicturesque part in the game, marching their teams on to the field of play and hailing their victories with piercmg blasts oftriumph.
