In honor of the World Cup, Britain's most luxurious1 bus stop has been given a football-themed makeover. 日前,英国一个最豪华的公交车站为庆祝世界杯,换上了足球主题装饰风格。 Luxury stop: The World Cup-themed bus shelter in Unst, the northern-most of the Scottish Shetland Islands. Kitted(装备) out with(拿出,赶出) a sofa, cushions, a TV, a phone and flowers, the shelter attracts thousands of tourists every year - and even boasts(自夸) a hot snacks stand. Its latest design follows a Valentine's Day love-nest look and a winter wonderland(奇境,仙境) theme. The makeovers began after a local resident put a sofa and table inside the bus stop, but over the years extra facilities have been added - including an Amstrad computer and a microwave. They are for decorative2(装饰性的) purposes only as the shelter has no electricity. In winter, fairy lights, powered by a generator3, give it a festive4 glow(灼热,兴高采烈) . Every year a portion of the 614 residents of the island of Unst, the northernmost(最北的) of the Scottish Shetland Islands, band together to decorate their stop near Baltasound. The tiny community's Millennium5 celebration was held there, and even the Golden Jubilee6 - during which the shelter was filled with Earl Grey tea and cucumber(黄瓜,胡瓜) sandwiches. Themes have ranged from outer space to colors yellow, pink, turquoise7(蓝绿色) , and this year, it pays homage8 to(向……表示敬意) the World Cup. Over the years the shelter has picked up quite a reputation and now has its own website and Facebook page. The bus shelter even has its own visitors books. 点击收听单词发音
