In the old Norse stories — the myths of Vikings and their gods — Valhalla is the great hall in Asgard where warriors go after they die in battle. Not everyone gets in; the Valkyries choose. Inside, the dead fight all day, and every evening their wounds heal and they eat and drink together, waiting for the last great battle at the end of the world. It is the Norse idea of a soldier's heaven, though 'heaven' is not quite right — it is a hall, with a roof and long tables and noise.

In the old Norse stories在古老的北歐故事裡——the myths of Vikings and their gods也就是維京人和他們神祇的神話——Valhalla is the great hall in AsgardValhalla是阿斯嘉裡的一座大殿，where warriors go after they die in battle是戰士戰死後去的地方。Not everyone gets in不是每個人都進得去；the Valkyries choose要由女武神來挑選。Inside裡面，the dead fight all day死去的戰士整天打鬥，and every evening their wounds heal每天晚上傷口又會癒合，and they eat and drink together他們一起吃喝，waiting for the last great battle at the end of the world等待世界末日的最後一場大戰。It is the Norse idea of a soldier's heaven這是北歐版的軍人天堂，though 'heaven' is not quite right不過用「天堂」形容並不太準確——it is a hall它其實是一座大殿，with a roof and long tables and noise有屋頂、有長桌，還很吵鬧。
