原文及翻译
About 1,000 years ago, people known as the Vikings were known and feared throughout Europe. The Vikings were the people of the northern part of Europe called Scandinavia, which includes the modern countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
大约1000年前，被称为维京人的民族在整个欧洲闻名且令人畏惧。维京人是欧洲北部斯堪的纳维亚半岛的人民，该地区包括现代的丹麦、挪威和瑞典。
Vikings made their living by farming and fishing, however, by about the year 700, they began making attacks or raids upon towns along the coast of Europe in order to steal the wealth of those towns. The Vikings made their attacks very quickly and without any warning.
维京人以农业和捕鱼为生，然而，大约在公元 700 年，他们开始袭击或劫掠欧洲沿海的城镇，以窃取这些城镇的财富。维京人的袭击非常迅速，没有任何警告。
They were very cruel to the people of the towns they attacked, and they sometimes destroyed the towns by burning down the buildings. In some parts of Europe, the local kings would often fight against the Vikings, sometimes, however, the kings would pay the Vikings in order to persuade them not to attack.
他们对所袭击城镇的人民非常残忍，有时他们会烧毁建筑物，摧毁城镇。在欧洲某些地区，当地国王经常与维京人作战，但有时国王会向维京人付钱，以劝说他们不要进攻。
