The next morning, I was surprised to see that the same men were sailing towards Earraid from Iona.

第二天早上，我惊奇地看见正是那两个人从爱欧娜岛向伊锐德岛驶来。

For today's show I'm joined by two fantastic experts, starting with Iona.

今天的节目有两位出色的专家参加， 首先是 Iona。

On the far west of Mull, another ferry makes the short crossing to the isle of Iona.

在马尔岛最西边，有另一条渡轮短途穿越到爱奥那岛。

We'll venture from Oban to Iona and Staffa; then, Skye; and then, in the far north, sail to the Orkney Islands.

我们将从奥本冒险到爱奥那和斯塔法；那么，斯凯；然后，在遥远的北方，航行到奥克尼群岛。

The best day out from Oban is the three-island tour and we've caught the early ferry on our way to Mull, Iona, and Staffa.

从奥本出发最棒的一天是三岛之旅，我们在前往穆尔、爱奥那和斯塔法的途中赶上了早班渡轮。

From here I could see the old church on the island of Iona, not far away to the west, and smoke from people's houses on Mull, to the east.

从这儿我能看见西边不远处爱欧娜岛上古老的教堂和东边马尔岛上的住户的房中冒出的炊烟。

At its imperial peak Roman ceramics - cheap, trademarked, perfect - were shipped everywhere from Africa to Iona; after Rome fell it would take centuries for European pottery to recover such excellence.

在罗马帝国的鼎盛时期，罗马陶瓷——廉价的、有商标的、完美的——被运往从非洲到爱奥纳岛之间的各个地方；罗马帝国陷落后，欧洲陶器花了几个世纪的时间才恢复到如此卓越的水平。
