原文及翻译
Although the Vikings were known as fierce warriors, they also built excellent ships. The wooden Viking ships, called longboats, were able to sail even in very bad weather. Many Viking longboats were about 20 meters long, but some were nearly 90 meters long.
虽然维京人以勇猛的战士著称，但他们也建造了非常精良的船只。维京人的木制船只被称为长艇，即使在恶劣的天气下也能航行。许多维京长艇长约 20 米，但有些则长达近 90 米。
The Viking sailors used both sails and oars to move their ships. The Vikings traveled across a large area; they made many of their attacks in Britain, France, and Germany, but sometimes sailed south into the Mediterranean Sea. Other Vikings moved to the east and then south along the rivers of Russia.
维京水手使用帆和桨来移动他们的船只。维京人游历了广阔的地区；他们多次袭击英国、法国和德国，但有时向南航行到地中海。其他维京人沿着俄罗斯的河流向东移动，然后向南移动。
Some even went as far as the area that is now the country of Turkey. In some places, the Vikings decided to stay; many Vikings settled in England and in France, and eventually they mixed with the local people. Other Vikings settled in Russia and also mixed with the people there.
有些人甚至去了现在的土耳其地区。在一些地方，维京人决定留下来；许多维京人定居在英国和法国，最终他们与当地人混居。其他维京人定居在俄罗斯，也与那里的人民混居。
