Cutty Sark's unusual name comes from the poem Tam O' Shanter by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Tam, a farmer, is chased by a witch called Nannie, who is wearing a 'cutty sark' - an old Scottish name for a short nightdress. The witch is depicted in Cutty Sark's figurehead - the carving of a woman typically at the front of old sailing ships. In legend, and in Burns's poem, witches cannot cross water, so this was a rather strange choice of name for a ship.

Auld Lang Syne 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

怎能忘记旧日朋友  

And never brought to mind?  

心中能不怀想 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

旧日朋友岂能相忘   

And auld lang syne?

友谊地久天长   

For auld lang syne, my dear,

友谊万岁朋友   

For auld lang syne,  

友谊万岁，  

We'll take a cup of kindness yet  

我们举杯痛饮 

For auld lang syne.

友谊地久天长
