Chapter 326

Sure enough, as latis said, the car stopped soon after passing through the city hall.

"Well, everybody, here we are at the address of our Swedish translation press." Laetis said happily.

His colleagues politely got out of the car and opened the windows for Kevin and Louis.

Because it was written in Swedish, Kevin got out of the car and saw a few lines of black letters written on the door of the Swedish translation press, but he didn't know what they were meant to express. So he asked the translation of his entourage to explain it to him.

"Mr. Kevin, the words on the wall are" sincerity "," respect "and" fraternity ", which is the tenet of the translation press“ The translator explained at this time.

Kevin nodded to show that he knew the meaning.

"Mr. rattis, the address of your Swedish translation publishing house seems to be very large. It is indeed one of the largest publishing houses in Sweden“ Lewis said politely.

"Ha ha, it's not as good as your royal poetry publishing house. Oh, let's go. I'll show you around“ Latis said enthusiastically.

So, laetis led Kevin and Louis into the company of Swedish translation press. At this time, laetis also acted as a tour guide, explaining their stories to each other all the way.

After learning that Britain's youngest poet laureate has come, many people from the Swedish translation press have chosen to come and have 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, they were all dumbfounded. Because in their eyes, such a young face is still thinking about the stage of life. But Kevin can write poems that are rich in content and beautiful. It's incredible.

"My God, no wonder he can be called the youngest Poet Laureate in England“ This is the general exclamation after they saw Kevin's tender face.

Although he came to Sweden, the signing ceremony could not be carried out immediately, so after taking Kevin and others to visit the Swedish translation press, he arranged a high-end hotel for them nearby.

The name of the hotel is a bit strange. The translator told Kevin that the name of the hotel is "guitar Hotel". However, after staying in the hotel, Kevin understood the strange origin of the name.

There is a big picture of guitar on the wall of the room, in which the name of the hotel is clearly written. In addition to Swedish, it also has English attached to it, so Kevin can read it clearly.

The original owner of the hotel is called Jos, he is a guitarist, but for some reason he had to give up his favorite job and go into business. When he became an excellent businessman, he thought of his beloved guitar. So, it opened such a "guitar" hotel.

Kevin is quite satisfied with the facilities of the hotel, so after taking a bath, he sits on the sofa and plays with the computer. This is what he said: "I really hope Kevin can hold more signings after he returns home, so that we can have more opportunities to meet him. I hear Kevin is very handsome. "

"Dear Kevin, take care of yourself in Sweden. We're all waiting for you to come back. Also, Swedish friends, you should treat Kevin warmly. Come on, I always like your words. "

After he tweeted, Kevin figured out how to go outside and see the Swedish customs.

But I didn't expect to meet Louis just outside the hotel.

"Well, Mr. Lewis, are you going out to have a look?" Kevin said happily.

"Yes, this is my first visit to Sweden, so I plan to go out while I'm free. So, Kevin, are you interested? " Louis said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

therefore. With the same interests, they walked out of the guitar hotel together and walked in the streets of the city. Kevin and Louis are curious about the name of Stockholm City, so when they sit down to enjoy Swedish snacks, they ask the owner of the snack bar.

The owner of the snack bar told them that Stockholm means "wood island". There are two legends about the origin of its name. The city was built in the middle of the 13th century. At that time, the local residents were often harassed by pirates, so people built a castle with huge wood on an island at the entrance of Lake meraren, and set up stakes in the water to resist pirates, so the island was named "wood island".

Another legend is that it used to be a desolate place, where the debris of the shipwrecked ships from the waves piled up on the beach, and the local residents picked up these pieces of wood to build a simple hut. Because these pieces of wood are not blocks, just pieces of wood like waste, so the house is upside down.

In 1250, this kind of broken wood house formed a street on the island. Foreign ships came here for business activities. When they saw the houses on the street, they could not help laughing and shouting "Stockholm"“ "Stego" means wood, and "Ermo" means Island, which together means "wood island".

Kevin and Lewis are so impressed by these two interesting legends that they get to know each other again. Maybe when you know the story of a city, you can start to understand it.

In the evening, the Swedish translation press had to prepare dinner for them, so after walking around the street, Kevin and Louis went back to the guitar hotel.
