the Farne Islands
/ðə ˈfɑːn aɪləndz/
/ðə ˌfɑːrn ˈaɪləndz/
- a group of small islands off the coast of north-east England. Nobody lives there, and the many birds and seals (= large sea animals) that go there are protected by law. The islands are perhaps best known because Grace Darling lived in a lighthouse (= a tower containing a strong light to warn or guide ships) on one of them.
法恩群岛:英格兰东北沿海的一组小岛。没有人住在那里,那里的许多鸟类和海豹受到法律保护。这些岛屿可能是最著名的,因为格蕾丝·达令(Grace Darling)居住在其中一个灯塔上(灯塔带有强光,可以警告或引导船只)。
