英國名字最長的村莊
What's in a name? Well, exactly 58 letters, if the name happens to be Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the longest place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest village names in the world.
Located on the island of Anglesey in northwest Wales, the village was first known by the somewhat shorter Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, but acquired the longer moniker as a way to draw railway tourists in the 1860s. The 19th-century strategy has been paying dividends since, as travellers keep journeying to the place for photo-ops next to the oversized railway station sign.
長爲58個字母的名字使這個小村莊成爲了英國名字最長的村莊。
這個村莊的全稱是Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch，位於威爾士西北部的安格爾西島，這個村莊最初名字是Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll，但在19世紀60年代時爲了吸引鐵路遊客而取了這個長名字。這個19世紀的策略一直都很奏效，因爲一直都有旅客爲了和旁邊超長的火車站牌合照而來到這裏。
