Castlerigg石圈 凱西克附近的Castlerigg石圈 大約5000年前，不列顛群島的古代居民不知何故把多達(dá)40塊巨石（最重的一塊估計重達(dá)16噸）拖到了現(xiàn)在位于坎布里亞的英格蘭湖區(qū)國家公園的這片草地上。然后，他們把他們聚集在卡斯特里格的石圈（Castlerigg石圈）里，從這里可以看到冬季的低太陽投下陰影?？脊艑W(xué)家認(rèn)為，Castlerigg石圈是按照太陽和月球的位置排列的。它們被用于精心制作的儀式，以慶祝像今天的冬至，北方一年中最短的一天（和最長的夜晚）半球形?？ㄋ固亓_里格它被認(rèn)為是英國約1300個石圈中最古老的一個。雖然它不像巨石陣（巨石陣可能是在卡斯特羅里格之后不久開始建造的）那么出名，但它能看到鄰近的布蘭卡斯特拉、赫爾維林和斯基德道山脈的全景，這使它成為風(fēng)景最優(yōu)美的地方之一。即使是在今天，卡斯特雷格也吸引了冬至狂歡者，他們敲鑼打鼓，參加神奇的玉樂節(jié)，在這個節(jié)日里，燃燒一根原木，象征著陽光和熱量回歸太陽。對于那些為冬天的短暫寒冷而哀嘆的人來說，你可以從中得到一些安慰，因為從今天起，白天的時間將穩(wěn)步延長，六個月后，我們將與南半球進(jìn)行交易，并將再次享受漫長而溫暖的日子。

原文:

Roughly 5,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants of the British Isles somehow dragged as many as 40 giant stones—the heaviest weighing an estimated 16 tons—onto this grassy plateau in what is now England's Lake District National Park in Cumbria. They then grouped them into the stone circle at Castlerigg, seen here casting shadows from the low winter sun. Archeologists believe stone circles, were arranged to align with solar and lunar positions. They were used in elaborate rituals to celebrate occasions like today's winter solstice, the shortest day (and longest night) of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.Castlerigg is believed to be one of the oldest of the approximately 1,300 stone circles in Britain. And while it's not as well-known as Stonehenge—which was probably begun soon after Castlerigg—its panoramic views of the neighboring Blencathra, Helvellyn, and Skiddaw mountains make it one of the most scenic. Even today, Castlerigg draws winter solstice revelers who beat drums and participate in the magical festival of Yule, in which a log is burned to symbolize the return of heat and light to the sun. And for those of you lamenting the short, cold days of winter, you can take some comfort in knowing that after today the hours of daylight will steadily lengthen, and in six months we'll have traded positions with the Southern Hemisphere and will enjoy long, warm days once again.
