Caledonian is the old, rather grand word for “Scottish.” It comes from Caledonia, the name the Romans gave to the north of Britain — roughly the land we now call Scotland.

Caledonian這個字is the old, rather grand word for "Scottish"是「蘇格蘭的」這個意思比較古老、也比較氣派的講法。It它comes from Caledonia源自Caledonia這個字，the name the Romans gave to the north of Britain是羅馬人給不列顛北部取的名字——roughly the land we now call Scotland大概就是我們現在說的蘇格蘭那塊地方。

Poets still like it because it sounds ancient and misty. You will also see it on company names, university names, and ferry names when a Scottish business wants that old-country flavour.

Poets詩人still like it還是喜歡用這個字because it sounds ancient and misty因為聽起來古老又帶點迷濛感。You也will also see it on company names, university names, and ferry names會在公司名、大學名，還有渡輪名裡看到它，when a Scottish business wants that old-country flavour當蘇格蘭的企業想要那種古老家鄉味的時候。

People do not usually say “I am Caledonian” in the street; they say “Scottish.” The word is more at home on a sign, in a poem, or in a formal title. Though actually, Roman Caledonia was the highland north, not every inch of modern Scotland — people now stretch it as if it covered the whole country.

People一般人do not usually say "I am Caledonian" in the street在路上通常不會說「我是Caledonian」；they say "Scottish"而是說「Scottish（蘇格蘭的）」。The word這個字is more at home on a sign, in a poem, or in a formal title比較適合出現在招牌、詩裡，或正式頭銜裡。Though actually不過其實，Roman Caledonia羅馬人說的Caledoniawas the highland north指的是高地北部，not every inch of modern Scotland並不是整個現代蘇格蘭——people現在人們now stretch it as if it covered the whole country把這個字用得好像涵蓋了整個國家一樣。
