巨大的土丘

这些是巨石建筑
These are megalithic constructions,
嗯，在较大的场地中，涉及大量的

考古学家和历史学家只能推测
archaeologists and historians can only speculate

这些土丘的用途更为深远和神秘
the mounds serve a more profound and mysterious purpose,
在传统上，它是被称为锡德的
as the dwelling places of otherworldly beings
的异世界精灵的居住地
traditionally called the sidhe.
珍妮·巴特勒博士：“锡德”这个词可以表示“土丘”
DR. JENNY BUTLER: The word "sidhe," it can mean "the mounds"
也可以
and also
表示“另一个世界的人
can mean "the otherworld people,
或土丘上的人们”
the people of the mounds."
在爱尔兰的传统中
In Irish tradition,
用“锡德”这个词
it's bad luck to use the word "sidhe"
直接指代这些异世界的人，是不吉利的
to directly refer to these otherworld people.
因此，有许多不同的名称
So, there are many different names.
我们有英文单词仙女，也有精灵

仙女、精灵
