- 1恩尼斯基林。北愛爾蘭一座城;英語裡常因 1987 年陣亡將士紀念日(Remembrance Day)當天、愛爾蘭共和軍的炸彈、11 人死亡而被提起。
Enniskillen is a town in Northern Ireland. In English the name is remembered for one terrible day: on Remembrance Day in November 1987, people had come to remember soldiers who died in war. The IRA — a group that used bombs in the long fight over Northern Ireland — set off a bomb there. Eleven people were killed. The attack shocked many people, including some who had been willing to look away before. Though actually, Enniskillen is also just a town with a long Irish name and a life before and after that morning. But in the news, and in many English books, the name still calls up that bomb.
組成From Irish Inis Ceithleann. Inis is “island”; Ceithleann is a name in the Irish form of the place.
