Tourist: We just saw a little construction near the temple. What's that?
遊客:剛才看到廟旁邊好像有一個小小的建築物,那是什麼?

Tour Guide: This is "Gulongtou Shuiwei Pagoda,"(6) which is believed to have the power to protect the village from flooding. It's now a third-class national historic relic. The pagoda measures about 7 meters high and the four characters carved on the top mean "Monks and Buddha's Magic Tool". It's said that the pagoda was used to suppress all sorts of devils from the sea and keep villagers in good health and wealth. Other than that, the pagoda also serves as a symbol from generation to generation, warning residents not to use up all the money they have earned.
導遊:那是『古龍頭水尾塔』,具有鎮水的功能,現在列為的國家三級古蹟。大約高度為七公尺,在塔的最上層刻有「僧佛法寶」四個字。相傳水尾塔是用來壓制海上的各種惡邪和鎮保顧財之用,並且告誡子孫不要將辛苦賺來的財富如潮水般花掉。

Tourist: So that's it. What is the house on the other side of the lake?
遊客:原來如此。在湖另一邊的那棟房子是什麼呢?

Tour Guide: It is Shuangli Wetland Nature Center. The building displays human and natural resources of Guningtou. It also introduces the natural ecology of Kinmen.
導遊:那是雙鯉濕地自然中心,館內有介紹古寧頭的人文和自然資源,還有金門島上的自然生態。

Tourist: What are the specific displays?
遊客:有什麼值得一看的嗎?

Tour Guide: There are presentations of local birds and native plants on the first and second floors. In the basement there is a display window of round-the-year scenery, which provides you with different facets of the beauty of Kinmen. Meanwhile, you are going to admire the skittish(7) creatures in the water and the chirping(8) birds above the water if you walk along the transparent windowpane. It's absolutely a lot of fun.
導遊:一樓和二樓有金門鳥類和當地植物的介紹;地下一樓是金門四季特殊景色的櫥窗,在這兒你可以看到金門不同的美。同時,你也可以到水岸走廊去觀賞生物在水裡遨遊,也可清楚看到湖面水鳥嬉戲的畫面。十分有趣,值得一看。

Tourist: Really? Let's go there in just a minute. Can I take pictures in there?
遊客:真的嗎?那要好好參觀一下囉!對了,裡面可以拍照嗎?

Tour Guide: Yes, you can. You can take as many as you like to record the diversified beauty of Kinmen.
導遊:可以的。你可以多拍幾張,把金門不同時節的美紀錄下來!(二十一)
