Puyallup Scottish Highland Games, Washington state

On June 23rd, 2018, hundreds of people, mostly Scottish men, women and children,

 gathered at a leisure club south of puyallup. I came here as if I were in an ancient place.

The people here all looked very cheerful, but they were very serious when the ceremony 

was held, and the host read the ceremony and the whole audience played the national 

music, and felt that they were praying.Then the loud band pushed the whole event to a 

climax.

Families from Scotland in the United States celebrate their cultural heritage  every year

withan event called highland games.These events are occurring not only in Scotland 

but throughout the world.You don't have to play as a Scotsman as it's open to the public

 to enjoy the celebration.

When you get close, you're likely to start hearing their music from bagpipes and drums,

and next, you might see a Scotsman wearing what looks like a dress, but it's called a kilt.

The ladies are smart enough to wear plaid costumes. The opening ceremony is called the 

massing of the pipes, with many bagpipes and drums calling all the families to join the 

parade and show you pride.  Sports and sports competitions are important components 

of celebration activities. Some of the events are the Caber toss: a rather large long pole is

lifted straight up, the person then runs forward and throws the pole flipping it so that it 

lands straight. Other events are The Stone put, similar to the Olympic 

basketball shooting. Many other Scottish sporting events take place during the day. Dancing

is also part of the party, and young women move their legs around, stay in one place, and

then jump around in another.

Many food stalls offer traditional Scottish cuisine.

华州PUYALLUP苏格兰非遗高地运动会

2018 年6 月23 日，在Puyallup 以南的一个休闲会所聚集着几百人，大都是苏格兰装束的男女老少，

来到这里我仿佛置身于一个古老的地方。这里的人们看上去都兴高彩烈，但在举行仪式时却非常严

肃，由主持人宣读仪式然后全场奏响了民族音乐，感觉得到他们在祈愿，然后声势浩荡的乐队将整

个活动推向高潮。

在美国每年来自苏格兰的家庭都会举办一场名为“高地游戏”的活动来庆祝他们的文化遗产。这些

事件不仅在苏格兰而且在全世界都有。你不必以苏格兰人的身份参加比赛，因为它向公众开放以享

受庆祝活动。

当你接近时，你很可能会开始听到他们的音乐来自风笛和大鼓,接下来，你可能会看到苏格兰人穿着

看起来像一件衣服，但它被称为苏格兰短裙。女士们很聪明地配有格子 服装。开幕式就是所谓的管

道集结，许多风笛和鼓声呼吁所有家庭参加游行，并向你展现自豪感。

运动和体育比赛是庆祝活动的重要组成部分。一些事件是; Caber折腾：一个相当大的长杆直线举起，

然后人向前跑，并抛出杆翻转它，使它直线下降。其他事件是石头投入，类似奥运投篮。许多其他

苏格兰体育比赛在白天发生。舞蹈也是聚会的一部分，年轻的女士们将他们的双腿左右移动，同时

停留在一个地方，然后在另一个地方跳来跳去。

许多食品摊位提供传统的苏格兰美食。
