Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 326 The legend of Stockholm

Sure enough, as Latis said, shortly after passing through the city hall, the car stopped. ◆⊕Chenyuan Literature Network.↗↗

“Well, everyone, we’re at the address of our Swedish Translation Publishing House.” Latis said happily.

Latis’s colleagues got out of the car very politely at this time, and then opened the windows for Kevin, Louis and others.

Since it was written in Swedish, after Kevin got off the car, although he saw a few lines of black fonts written on the entrance of the Swedish Translation Publishing House, he did not know what they were meant to express. So he asked the translator of the entourage to explain it to himself.

“Mr. Kevin, what is written on the wall is ‘sincere’, ‘respect’ and ‘fraternity’. This is the purpose of the translation publishing house.” The translator explained at this time.

Kevin nodded, indicating that he knew what he meant.

“Mr. Latis, the address of your Swedish Translation Publishing House seems to be quite huge, and it really deserves to be one of the largest publishing houses in Sweden.” Louis said politely.

“Haha, it’s far behind your Royal Poetry Publishing House. Oh, let’s go, I’ll take you in and take a look.” Latis said enthusiastically.

Thus, Latis led Kevin, Louis and others into the company of Swedish Translation Publishing House. At this time, Latis also acted as a tour guide, explaining their stories to the other party when they saw everything along the way.

Knowing that Britain’s youngest poet laureate had come, many people at the Swedish Translation Publishing House chose to come and take a look. After all, they are very curious about the poets who can write so many near-perfect poems.

When these people saw that Kevin was so young, all of them were stunned. Because in their opinion, such a young face is still thinking about the stage of life. But Kevin can write poems that are rich in content and beautiful. All this is simply incredible.

“Oh my God, it’s no wonder he can be called the youngest poet laureate in Britain.” This is their general sigh after seeing Kevin’s immature face.

Although I came to Sweden, the signing event could not be carried out immediately, so Latis took Kevin and others to visit the Swedish Translation Publishing House and arranged for them a high-end hotel nearby.

The name of the hotel is a bit strange. The translator told Kevin that the name of the hotel is “Guitar Hotel”. but. After staying in the hotel, Kevin understood the strange origin of the name.

There is a big picture of the guitar on the wall of the room, which clearly states the origin of the hotel’s name. In addition to Swedish, English was added. So Kevin can see clearly.

It turned out that the owner of the hotel was called Jos. He was a guitarist, but for some reason he had to give up his favorite job and go to business. When he became an outstanding businessman, he thought of his beloved guitar. Therefore, such a hotel called “Guitar” was opened.

Kevin is fairly satisfied with the facilities of this hotel. So after taking a shower, he sat on the sofa and played with the computer. This is his first time abroad. He intends to use Twitter to record his feelings after going abroad. Therefore, after turning on the computer, he first logged into his Twitter.

Kevin wrote on Twitter: finally arrived in Stockholm, this is a beautiful city, dear Swedish readers, are you ready? I look forward to seeing you guys.

As soon as Kevin posted this tweet, he couldn’t help but aroused the envy and hatred of domestic readers.

“I also look forward to interacting more with Kevin. I didn’t go to his signing meeting the previous few times. If he holds an signing meeting this time, I think I will definitely go.”

“Wow, the Swedish readers are so happy, they can finally see Kevin. I have liked Kevin’s articles for so long. Apart from seeing his talk show in front of the TV, I haven’t seen it in real life. I have seen him. I am also looking forward to getting his autograph.”

“I really hope that Kevin can hold more signing meetings after returning to China, so that we can also have more opportunities to meet him in person. I heard that Kevin is very handsome.”

“Dear Kevin, take care of yourself in Sweden. We are all waiting for you to come back. Also, friends in Sweden, you have to treat Kevin warmly. Come on. I have always liked your words.”

After Kevin posted the tweet, he planned to go outside and take a look at the national customs of Sweden by the way.

But I didn’t expect to ran into Louis as soon as I arrived at the door of the hotel.

“Yo, Mr. Louis. Are you planning to go out and shop too?” Kevin said happily.

“Yeah, this is my first time in Sweden, so I plan to go outside while I am free now. How about, Kevin, are you also interested?” Louis said with a smile.

“Es, that’s the intention.”

then. The two have the same interest. They walked out of the guitar hotel and walked in the streets of the city. Regarding the origin of Stockholm’s name, both Kevin and Louis were curious, so when they sat down to enjoy Swedish snacks, they asked the owner of the snack bar by the way.

The owner of the snack bar told them Stockholm means “Wood Island”. There are two legends about the origin of its name. The city was founded in the middle of the third century AD. At that time, local residents were often harassed by pirates, so people built a castle with huge wood on a small island at the entrance of Lake Mälaren, and set up wooden piles in the water to resist pirates. Therefore, the island was It was named “Wood Island”.

According to another legend, it used to be a deserted place, and the beach was filled with debris from the wrecked ships washed by the waves. The local residents took these wood chips to build simple huts. Since these pieces of wood are not in blocks, they are just strips of wood-like waste, so the built houses are swaying from side to side.

In 20 years, this kind of shredded wooden houses formed a street on the island. Foreign ships came here to conduct business activities. Seeing the houses on the street look like this, I couldn’t help feeling amused and yelled “Stockholm” casually. “Stego” means wood, and “Ermo” means island, which together means “wood island”.

Kevin and Louis praised these two interesting legends, which made them get to know Stockholm again. Perhaps you can only begin to understand the city after you understand the story of a city.

Since the Swedish Translation Publishing House had to prepare a dinner for them in the evening, after walking around the street, Kevin and Louis went back to the Guitar Hotel. (To be continued.)
