The Liffey is the river that runs through Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland. The city grew up around it, so songs, poems, and tourist talk mention it a lot. People like to say the best Guinness — that dark Irish beer — is made with Liffey water. That is the story as it is told, and the famous brewery does sit by the river in Dublin. Though actually, the water in the pint is not simply scooped out of the Liffey; Dublin’s drinking water comes from hills and reservoirs nearby. ‘Liffey water’ is still how the joke is told. The English name is a proper noun: the Liffey.
利菲河（愛爾蘭都柏林那條河）
組成Borrowed from Irish Life, the Irish name of the river. It is not the English word life, even though it looks close.
