爱尔兰的介绍,英文的(最好有历史,文化或地理方面的—)

Ireland is indeed a green country - so much rainfall must have its benefits - and the people are justifiably renowned for their friendliness.As for the geniuses,well,the Irish will proudly point to their four Nobel Laureates for Literature and declare that the success rate is unmatched in any other country of its size,all the while ensuring that the sacred 'round' system (where everyone buys a drink for everyone else in turn) is strictly adhered to.
Yet Ireland's charms run far deeper than the legendary craic of the pub or the accomplishments of a bunch of (mostly) dead writers.It has a remarkable history that is woven into virtually everything,from the prehistoric stone monuments of the Boyne Valley to the monuments honouring its fallen patriots,men and women who dared challenge the imperious might of its longtime occupier and contemporary friend,Britain.
It has a vibrant and dynamic capital,Dublin,which has spearheaded a stunning period of economic growth that has seen the country transformed from rural backwater to the envy of Europe.As a result,the Irish have grown in worldliness that continues to propel them to greater heights of achievement.Even the thorniest issue of all - Northern Ireland - has seen a kind of resolution and Ireland looks to the future with untrammelled confidence.
