点评:It’s been about 20 years since I’ve visited Ireland. Throughout the 1990’s, I visited just about every Summer or Fall. Eventually, looking in Dublin shops at tweed jackets and blankets, I found out that most of them were made in Ardara. I decided to visit Ardara the next year, probably 1997. I stayed in Ardara thereafter for 2-3 days on every visit to Ireland, I loved the pub and music scene there. And I loved to visit with Eddie at his store. I would buy some items, like vests, caps and blankets from him. But I also bought tweed material from him that I took to Thailand and had made into suits with vests and overcoats. I have 5 of them and wear them a lot for 6 months a year in the U.S. They still look great after 20 years, although I had to eventually have them let out a little. I plan on coming to Ireland and Ardara the Summer of 2023, with my 15 year old son. I hope to introduce him to my friend Eddie.
翻译:我访问爱尔兰已经大约 20 年了。在整个 1990 年代,我几乎每年夏天或秋天都会去参观。最后,我在都柏林的商店里看了看粗花呢夹克和毯子,发现其中大部分都是在阿达拉制造的。我决定明年去阿达拉,大概是 1997 年。此后每次去爱尔兰我都会在阿达拉呆 2-3 天,我喜欢那里的酒吧和音乐场所。我喜欢和 Eddie 一起去他的店里拜访。我会从他那里买一些东西,比如背心、帽子和毯子。但我也从他那里买了粗花呢面料,带回泰国,做成西装搭配背心和大衣。我有 5 个,在美国每年穿 6 个月很多。20 年后它们看起来仍然很棒,尽管我最终不得不让它们稍微松散一点。我计划在 2023 年夏天和我 15 岁的儿子一起去爱尔兰和阿达拉。我希望把他介绍给我的朋友艾迪。
