As you know, at the turn of the tide, the waters confined between the Faroe and Lofoten Islands rush out with irresistible 5 violence.  我们知道,涨潮时,佛罗埃岛和罗佛丹岛之间汹涌的水流以雷霆万均之势猛冲过来,

Monstrous 6 waves race together from every point of the horizon. 滔滔巨浪从四面八方涌来,
They form a whirlpool aptly called "the ocean's navel," whose attracting power extends a distance of fifteen kilometers. 形成了这个被恰如其份地称为“海洋的肚脐”的大漩涡,它的吸引力一直延伸到15公里外。
