Ⅴ. 阅读理解
They say money doesn’t grow on trees. But it certainly appears to do so on the mysterious coin-studded trunks around the UK’s woodland. The strange phenomenon of old trees with coins embedded(镶嵌) all over their bark has been spotted on trails from the Peak District to the Scottish Highlands.
The coins are usually knocked into the trunks of the trees using stones by passers-by, who hope it will bring them good fortune.
These fascinating spots often have coins from centuries ago buried deep in their bark. The tradition of making offerings to spirits of trees dates back hundreds of years, but this combination of the man-made and the natural is far more rare.
It used to be believed that spirits lived in trees, and they were often decorated with sweets and
gifts—as is still done today on Christmas. The act reminds us of tossing money into ponds for good luck, or the trend for couples to attach “love padlocks” to bridges and fences to symbolize lasting romance.
There are seven tree trunks with coins pushed into them in the unique village of Portmeirion, in Wales. [来源:学+科+网]
Meurig Jones, a manager at the tourist destination, told the BBC: “We had no idea why it was being done when we first noticed the tree trunks were being filled with coins. ” He also said, “I did some detective work and discovered that trees were sometimes used as ‘wishing trees’. In Britain it dates back to the 1700s—there is one tree in Scotland somewhere which apparently has a coin stuck into it. ”
He said that a sick person could press a coin into a tree and his illness would go away. “If someone then takes the coin out though, it’s said he then becomes ill. We haven’t announced it at all, it’s just happened, ” he added. “It’s quite amazing really. ”
