英国惊现“摇钱树” 树身长满硬币(组图)
Money Trees 铜钱树
As perhaps a companion piece to last week’s skull nickels, here’s yet another thing I had no idea existed. 今天要给大家介绍一种“铜钱树”， 在此之前我对它的存在一无所知，简直可以称为上周 “头骨镍币”的姊妹篇了。
Apparently in several wooded areas around the UK, passersby have been stopping for decades (if not centuries), meticulously hammering small denomination coins intro trees. 铜钱树生长在英国的一些林区，几十年来（如果没有上百年的话）行人路过这里，都会小心翼翼的将小面额的硬币敲到树里。
Most of the trees seem to be in and around Cumbria and Portmeirion, and I didn’t find a single example of a tree like this located outside the UK. 大部分的铜钱树生长在坎布里亚郡和波特梅里恩郡周围，我也从来没有在英国以外的其他地方看到过这种树。
According to this recent article by the BBC, the practice might date back to the early 1700s in Scotland where ill people stuck florins into trees with the idea that the tree would take away their sickness. 据BBC一篇近期的文章报道，这一习俗可以追溯到18世纪初期的苏格兰。当人们生病的时候，会将弗罗林币塞进树缝里，认为这样树就能带走他们的病痛。
The practice seems akin to love padlocks or Americans collaborative effort of sticking their nasty ass gum all over everything.这个习俗和同心锁的风俗类似，也还蛮像美国人民上下一心到处惹麻烦招人嫌的习惯。
