Birnam Wood
/ˌbɜːnəm ˈwʊd/
/ˌbɜːrnəm ˈwʊd/
- a wood in central Scotland. In Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the witches (= women with magic powers) tell Macbeth that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane. Later, Macduff's army hide themselves behind branches cut from the wood as they advance to attack Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane, so it appears as though the wood is moving.
苏格兰中部的木材。在莎士比亚的戏剧《麦克白》中，女巫告诉麦克白，直到伯南姆·伍德来到杜西纳内之前，他不会被击败。后来，随着前进，麦克达夫的军队将自己藏在从木头砍下的树枝后面，攻击突尼斯尼的麦克白城堡，所以看起来木头在移动。
