Lassies and Lads, if you have the opportunity to kiss this block of blue stone you may acquire (nhận láy) the gift of eloquence (tài hùng biện). Commonly known as "The Gift of Gab."  Take it from me, "That's no Blarney." That's why a gillion people, famous and regular folk, have kissed The Blarney Stone for centuries.  If you plan to give it a smooch, it's not that simple.  The stone is located 85 feet up on the wall of the castle.  To kiss it you have to bend backward while holding on to a railing.  They say it's a good idea that someone holds your ankles while you're doing this.

Autumn in Ireland is bliss (hạnh phúc). Overseas visitors have kissed the Blarney Stone, finished their pint of the black stuff and gone home, leaving the country roads quiet and the cities more laid-back (hello, off-season rates). 

Blarney ranks (xếp hạng) as one of Ireland's top tourist attractions and those who have kissed the Blarney stone over the years include Winston Churchill, Laurel and Hardy, Prince, Michael Madsen and Billy Connolly.
