Faces of Iceland 冰岛面貌

Photogenic Iceland has been exhaustedly covered. Every visitor to Iceland has taken a picture similar to this. Perhaps I'll focus more on the faces of its fascinating people instead? 

冰岛的美，举世闻名，已经被太多摄影大师全面覆盖了。但去年六月花了钱和了时间游冰岛，不展示几张相片又心有不甘。让我多放一点注意力在蛮有个性的冰岛人民吧。

I visited Iceland during the European cup, when their amateurish team beat some of the best footballers in Europe to enter semi-final. I too would have found that surprising had I not met its people forged by the ferocity of their enchanting landscape. In spite of the harsh climate, Icelanders remain defiantly warm at heart.

我在冰岛的时候，刚巧是欧洲杯高潮。人丁单薄的冰岛，不过几十万人。国家足球队由教练到前锋，守门到后备，都是业余分子，竟然败了足球王国英国，跻身四强，世人大跌眼镜。但到过了冰岛，接触过它强悍中带温淳，冷傲中洋溢着热情的人民后，

大大减少了我对这赛果的意外感。

A "dottir" contemplating the future of her country. Iceland was the only country who got rid of the crooked banksters after the financial tsunami, and recovered miraculously well -- so well that the mainstream media have to keep it a secret. Icelanders seem to have a mind of their own in each and every way. They still don't use family "surnames". For example, a hypothetical Eric, son of Gunnar, will be called Eric Gunnarson. His sister Grdrun will be Grdrun Gunnardottir (daughter of Gunnar)

一个冰岛女孩在考量国家前途。冰岛是唯一在金融风暴后把“银行流氓”收监的西方国家，结果复原得很快，所以被银行家控制的“自由传媒”都不作报道。冰岛人很多方面都我行我素，到现在仍然没有改变独特的姓氏传统。举个例：一个叫 Gunnar Sorenson 的儿子 Eric 会姓 Gunnarson （意为 Gunnar 的儿子），不是Sorenson。而他的妹妹 Grdrun 的名字是 Grdrun Gunnardottir （Gunnar 的女儿），与爸爸，妈妈和哥哥都不一定同姓。
