Loch Ness
/ˌlɒk ˈnes/, /ˌlɒx ˈnes/
/ˌlɑːk ˈnes/, /ˌlɑːx ˈnes/
- a long, narrow and deep lake in the Highlands of Scotland. It is famous for the Loch Ness monster, also known informally as Nessie. The monster is thought by some people to be a large animal like a dinosaur (= an animal that lived millions of years ago) that spends most of its time underwater. Many people claim to have seen it, and there is a special Loch Ness Monster Exhibition Centre for tourists on the edge of the lake. However several scientific investigations have failed to find any evidence that it exists.
尼斯湖：苏格兰高地的一个狭长而深的湖。它以尼斯湖水怪而闻名，也被非正式地称为尼斯湖。某些人认为这种怪物是像恐龙一样的大型动物（一种生活在数百万年前的动物），大部分时间都在水下度过。许多人声称看到过它，在湖边有一个特殊的尼斯湖怪兽展览中心，供游客使用。但是，一些科学研究未能找到任何证据。
