Step 1. Lead in
The color "green" has long been associated with Ireland.
The island's lush green countryside inspired the name, "the Emerald Isle", after the green precious stone. It was first called this in a poem written in 1795.
When people around the world celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, the national day, people always wear green, as Irish sports teams do.
绿色长久以来一直是爱尔兰的象征色。岛上郁郁葱葱的乡村风光为其赢得了“翡翠岛”的美誉——这一雅号源自1795年一首诗歌中对绿色宝石的比喻。当全球各地庆祝该国国庆日圣帕特里克节时,人们总会身着绿色服饰,正如爱尔兰各运动队队服的传统配色。

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,

Ireland’s beautiful countryside has always had a great influence on its people and traditions. The country has a long history of producing great writers and poets. Its beautiful countryside excites and inspires all, offering something for each of the senses. The peaceful lanscape of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties is a true feast for the eyes, with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle. And down by the sea, the roar of the ocean waves and cries of the seabirds make up the music of the coast. On a quiet morning in the mountains, feel the sun on your skin, and breathe in the sweet scent of fresh flowers while birds greet the new day with their morning song. With all this beauty, it is not surprising that Ireland has developed strong traditions that include music, dancing, and dining. To have a chance of experiencing this, stop by a village pub and relax with a glass of wine or a local beer. Better yet, enjoy a delicious traditional Irish Beef Stew. If you’re lucky, you might be able to enjoy some traditional music and dancing, too. And if you introduce yourself to a friendly face, you are more than likely to experience local culture and customs first-hand.
