伦敦塔… The Tower of London...
汉普顿宫…… Hampton Court...
和肯辛顿宫 and Kensington Palace.
这三个皇家宫殿讲述了这个故事 These three royal palaces tell the story
近一千年的英国君主政体 of almost a thousand years of British monarchy,
从征服者威廉到戴安娜王妃 from William the Conqueror to Princess Diana.
它们是英国遗产王冠上的宝石 They're the jewels in the crown of Britain's heritage,
每年都有数百万人前来参观…… and every year, millions flock to visit them...
…除了2020年 当全球大流行 ...except in 2020, when the global pandemic
意味着他们的门被关上了 他们的财宝也被锁起来了 meant their doors were shutand their treasures locked away.
早上好! Good morning!
早上好 露西! Good morning, Lucy!
但我的工作是历史宫殿的馆长 But my job is chief curator at historical palaces,
也就是说我拿到钥匙了! which means I've got the keys!
在这个节目中 我将带你 In this program, I'll take you
在一次对这些废弃宫殿的特殊游览中 on a very special tour of these deserted palaces.
晚上在这里真让人毛骨悚然 It's ever so creepy here at night.
我会发现它们是如何进化的 I'll discover how they've evolved
从高度安全的堡垒到游乐宫殿… from high-security fortress to pleasure palace...
哦 太好了!这是我的酒 Oh, goody! It's my wine.
…从皇室官邸到家庭住宅 ...royal residence to family home.
我会在它们最壮观的时候展示它们…… And I'll show them off at their most spectacular...
那不是惊人的吗? Isn't that stunning?
…最令人惊讶的是 ...and their most surprising.
这就像是打开了世界上最好的生日礼物 This is like opening the world's best birthday present.
-这真令人兴奋 -This is genuinely exciting.
所以跟我来幕后 -So come with me behind the scenes
揭开英国皇家住宅的秘密! to reveal the secrets of Britain's royal residences!
-伦敦塔是英国最古老的皇家宫殿 -The Tower of London is Britain's oldest royal palace.
它也是一座堡垒 一座监狱…… It's also a fortress, a prison...
其中一个性质 and one of the properties
我很幸运能帮忙照看 that I'm lucky enough to help look after.
通常 他们会有成千上万的游客 Normally, they'd be literally thousands of visitors
大家都冲进来 all rushing in here,
所以独自一人感觉很奇怪 so to be all alone feels strange
真的很可怕 and really quite eerie.
但好处是这是一种特权 But the upside is it's a privilege
一个人呆在这里 to have this place to myself.
这也给了我机会带你 And it also gives me the opportunity to take you
正好进入城堡的中心 right into the heart of the fortress.
在城堡的中心 At the castle's very center
矗立着它最古老的建筑— 白塔 stands its oldest building, the White Tower.
从10世纪70年代开始 它的墙壁就是明证 Begun in the 1070s, its walls bear witness
有将近一千年的历史 to nearly a thousand years of history.
它被建造成一个坚不可摧的要塞 It was built to be an impenetrable stronghold
被防御工事包围 surrounded by a ring of fortifications.
即使它不对游客开放 Even when it's closed to visitors,
这座塔仍然是它的永久居民的家— the tower is still home to its permanent residents --
乌鸦… the ravens...
还有自耕农守卫者 或称Beefeaters and the Yeomen Warders, or Beefeaters.
今晚Shady Lane值日晚餐 Tonight, Shady Lane is on dinner duty.
-对 这是罂粟花 带着红色的带子 -Right. This is Poppy. With the red band.
给你 Here you go.
-哦! —你走 -Ooh! -There you go.
乔治 George.
他埋葬了 那是待会的吗? -He's buried it. Is that for later?
一个小零食吗?肯定是 是的 他们— A little snack? -Certainly is, yeah. They --
我想他们更喜欢他们的 I think they prefer their --
拐弯的时候 它们更喜欢吃肉 A little on the turn, they prefer their meat,
这就是为什么他们会把它埋了 然后再回来的原因 and that's why they'll bury it and they'll come back later on.
-告诉他们进来的秘密哨子是什么? -So what's the secret whistle that tells them to come in?
-很简单 -It's really simple.
— 你走 你明白了 -There you go. You got it.
他们是来了! -They're coming!
-没有人确切知道他们在这里多久了 -No one knows exactly how long they've been here.
也许他们是第一次来吃叛徒的尸体 Perhaps they first came to feast on the corpses of traitors.
但至少有400年了 But it's been at least 400 years.
伊丽莎白时代的冒险家沃尔特·雷利爵士 When Sir Walter Raleigh the Elizabethan adventurer
在监狱里— 就在那儿— was in prison -- just there, actually --
他给朋友写了一封信 说 he wrote a letter to a friend saying,
“我希望乌鸦不会把我吃掉 ” "I hope the Ravens don't eat me up."
毕竟 它们什么都吃 After all, they feed on all things.
在这儿你走 好男孩 -Here you go. Good boy.
嘘 别告诉Beefeaters Shh. Don't tell the Beefeaters,
但很明显 谁才是真正的掌权者 but it's clear who's really in charge
在伦敦塔 at the Tower of London.
晚安 女士们 Good night, ladies.
晚安 先生们 Good night, gentlemen.
享受你的老鼠 明早见 Enjoy your mice. See you in the morning.
把王国照顾好 Take care of the kingdom overnight.
据说如果乌鸦离开了塔 It's claimed that if the ravens ever leave the tower,
然后王国和塔本身就会倒塌 then the kingdom and the tower itself will fall.
晚上在这里真让人毛骨悚然 It's ever so creepy here at night.
乌鸦的传说据说可以追溯到很久以前 The legend of the ravens is said to date back
至少在17世纪 at least as far as the 17th century,
当这个炮塔在白塔上 when this turret at the White Tower
有一个不寻常的目的 had a rather unusual purpose.
300年前 你可能会遇到约翰·弗兰斯蒂德 300 years ago, you might have come across John Flamsteed
把望远镜搬到楼上来 bringing his telescopes up these stairs.
他得到了查理二世国王的许可 He'd been given permission by King Charles II
用这个炮塔作为他的天文台 to use this turret as his observatory.
他刚刚被任命为皇家天文学家 He'd just been made Astronomer Royal.
白塔是天文台的最佳选择 And the White Tower was a great choice for an observatory
因为它还在那时 because it was still then
伦敦最高的建筑之一 one of the very tallest buildings in London.
在这里 弗兰斯蒂德开始了一项非常重要的任务— Here, Flamsteed set to work on an all-important mission --
利用月亮和星星的位置 using the positions of the moon and stars
计算经度 to calculate longitude.
解开这个谜团是海上精确导航的关键 Solving this mystery was the key to accurate navigation at sea.
只有一个问题 There was just the one problem.
乌鸦不停地留下它们的粪便 The ravens kept leaving their droppings
弗兰斯蒂德的望远镜 on Flamsteed's telescope.
于是他去找查理二世 说 So he went to Charles II, and he said,
“请你把这些可怜的乌鸦赶走好吗? "Will you please banish these wretched ravens
是从伦敦塔出来的吗?” out of the Tower of London?"
国王说:“我不能这样做 The King said, "I cannot do that,
因为如果乌鸦离开了伦敦塔 because if the ravens leave the Tower of London,
那国就必灭亡 ” then the kingdom will fall."
相反 查理二世建造了 伏蓝史迪之屋 Instead, Charles II built Flamsteed
在河的下游 格林威治有一个漂亮的新天文台 a lovely new observatory down the river at Greenwich.
连接这座城堡的力量 That link between the strength of this castle
这个国家的强大可以追溯到10个世纪前 and the strength of the nation stretches back 10 centuries
白塔建成的时间 to when the White Tower was built.
1066年 征服者威廉 In 1066, William the Conqueror
他的诺曼军队入侵了英国 and his Norman army invaded England.
打败英国军队之后 After defeating the English army
杀死盎格鲁撒克逊国王 and killing the Anglo-Saxon king,
威廉被加冕代替他的位置 William was crowned in his place.
他知道诺曼人的统治只能被强加 He knew that Norman rule who could only be imposed
蛮力 by brute force.
几年之内 Within a few years,
他开始建造伦敦塔 he'd begun work on the Tower of London.
它将留下他的新臣民 It would leave his new subjects
毫无疑问谁是负责人 in no doubt about who was in charge.
有些历史学家过去认为英国先于诺曼人 Some historians used to see England before the Normans
原始 落后 被困在黑暗时代 as primitive, backward, stuck in the Dark Ages.
实际情况要复杂一点 It's a bit more complicated than that.
但这是真的 当白塔 But it is true that when the White Tower
在11世纪兴起 went up in the 11th century,
它不仅仅是一个令人敬畏的建筑 it wasn't just a formidable building --
它也是一个惊人的现代 it was also a shockingly modern one.
在英国没有人以前见过这样的东西 No one in England had ever seen anything like it before.
在这个木材和茅草建筑的时代 In an age of timber and thatched buildings,
伦敦人一定感到震惊和敬畏 Londoners must have been shocked and awed
靠着这些巨大的石墙— by these monumental stone walls --
90英尺高… 90 feet tall...
底部有15英尺厚 and 15 feet thick at their base.
但是白塔不仅仅是一个声明 But the White Tower was more than just a statement
诺曼底人的军事力量 of the Normans' military might.
这也是一个展示美丽的地方 It was also a showcase, for the beauty
以及他们的建筑和艺术的复杂性 and sophistication of their architecture and art.
这个教堂是我最喜欢的地方 This chapel is my favorite place
在整个伦敦塔 in the whole of the Tower of London.
这个教堂是这个国家的教堂之一 The chapel is one of the country's
最早的诺曼教堂 earliest Norman churches,
它很可能是为皇室而建的 and it was probably builtfor the use of the royal family.
我真正喜欢的 What I really love
是圆柱上雕刻的简单 is the simplicity of the carvings on the columns.
这几乎是极简主义 It's almost minimalism.
我也喜欢这种对比 And I also like the contrast
在可怕的堡垒外 between the formidable fortress outside
还有这里的宁静 and the serenity in here.
这座白塔的设计是为了给人留下深刻印象并给人以启发 The White Tower was designed to impress and inspire.
但它也必须满足更实际的需要 But it also had to meet more practical needs.
我很喜欢教堂 I do love the chapel,
但我也喜欢藏在这个角落里的东西 but I also love what's tucked away in this corner.
这是一个非常创新的设计 This was a very innovative piece of design,
这是国内同类产品中的第一款 one of the first of its type in the country.
它是六座白塔中的一座 It's one of the six White Tower garderobes,
或厕所! or toilets!
设计很简单 但很巧妙 Very simple in design but very clever.
你让白塔保持干净 You keep the White Tower clean
因为便便会掉进洞里 because the poo goes down the hole.
但有个问题— 没有排水管 But there's a problem -- no drainpipes.
也就是说所有的垃圾都流了下来 Which meant that all the waste came running down
白塔美丽的白墙 the beautiful white walls of the White Tower,
而不是那种优雅和成熟的印象 not the sort of elegant and sophisticated impression
诺曼人想要 the Normans wanted to make.
尽管如此 白塔的建造者们也考虑过这个问题 The builders of the White Tower, though, had thought about this,
他们安置了厕所 and they have placed the toilets
在建筑物的后面 on the back side of the building,
不要在能俯瞰河的那一边 not the side overlooking the river
或面对伦敦城的那一面 or the side that faces the city of London.
这就意味着被征服的伦敦人将无法继续生存下去 This meant that the conquered Londoners would not be able
去看看他们新常态统治者的肮脏小秘密 to see the dirty little secrets of their new Normal rulers.
除了是宫殿和要塞 Besides being a palace and a fortress,
这座塔雄伟的城墙 the tower's mighty walls
这意味着它很快就成了这片土地上最臭名昭著的监狱 meant it soon became the most notorious prison in the land.
九个世纪以来 每个人 Over nine centuries, everyone
是在这里举行 was held here,
火药绘图仪盖·福克斯的作品 from Gunpowder Plotter Guy Fawkes
献给纳粹领袖鲁道夫·赫斯 to Nazi leader Rudolf Hess.
但塔上的第一个囚犯是诺曼·毕晓普 But the tower's first prisoner was a Norman bishop,
Ranulf Flambard Ranulf Flambard.
Flambard被描述为雄辩 聪明 Flambard was described as eloquent, intelligent,
和英俊的 and handsome.
中世纪的主教是一些最有权力的人 Medieval bishops were some of the most powerful people
在英国 弗兰伯就这样慢慢地走了 in England, and Flambard wormed his way
成为国王威廉二世的最高顾问 into the position of top adviser to King William II.
但他听起来确实像个讨厌的家伙 But he does sound like a nasty piece of work.
他滥用职权 He abused his position.
据说他剥了富人的皮 It's said that he skinned the rich
andground andground
穷人! down the poor!
1100年新国王登基时 When a new king came to the throne in 1100,
Flambard被剥夺了他的职位 Flambard was stripped of his position
用铁链把他带到塔上 and led in chains to the tower.
现在 你可能认为被关起来 Now, you might think that being kept prisoner
在伦敦塔肯定是一次可怕的经历 in the Tower of London musthave been a dreadful experience,
但未必如此 but not necessarily so.
这不是一个普通的罪犯监狱 This wasn't an ordinary prison for criminals.
它是关押国家重要敌人的监狱 It was a prison for important enemies of the state.
你可以指望得到相当好的照顾 You could expect to be looked after rather well.
中世纪的编年史告诉我们 This medieval chronicle tells us that Flambard,
比如 他在这里“吃得很丰盛” for example, "fed sumptuously" when he was in here,
每天他都会得到一张“华丽的桌子”— and every day he was given a "splendid table" --
对他自己和他的饲养员来说 这是一场盛宴 that's a feast - for himself and his keepers.
嗯! Hm!
1101年圣烛节上 And on the Feast of Candlemas, 1101,
他安排了一个快递到他的牢房 he arranged a special delivery to his cell.
哦 太好了!这是我的酒 Oh, goody! It's my wine.
弗兰巴德邀请他的卫兵加入他的行列 Flambard invited his guards to join him
为了一顿特别好的晚餐 for a particularly good dinner.
他把他们灌醉了 他们都晕过去了 He got them so drunk that they all passed out,
然后他把他的计划付诸行动 and then he put his plan into action.
因为事实上 桶里的东西并不是葡萄酒 Because what was inside the barrel wasn't, in fact, wine.
这是一条他现在要用来逃跑的绳子 It was a rope that he was now going to use to escape.
现在 这不是最虚张声势的逃跑 Now, this wasn't the most swashbuckling of escapes.
Flambard确实从他的绳索上下去了 Flambard did go down his rope
手里拿着主教的十字杖 with his bishop's crozier in his hand.
但是傻瓜忘了带手套 But silly guy forgot his gloves,
他的手都磨破了 and his hands got all rubbed raw.
哎哟! Ouch!
噢!啊! Ooh! Ahh!
当他到达底部时 And when he got to the bottom,
主教意识到他的绳子太短了 the bishop realized that his rope was too short.
那个中世纪的编年史作者告诉我们 那个肥胖的主教 That medieval chronicler tells us that the portly bishop
擦伤地躺在地上 可怜地呻吟着 lay bruised on the ground, groaning piteously.
但最重要的是他出去了 But the main thing was that he was out,
他的同伙用船把他带走了 and his accomplices took him away by boat.
所以主教Flambard So Bishop Flambard
他是伦敦塔的第一个囚犯 was the first prisoner at the Tower of London,
他也是第一个证明的人 and he was also the first to prove
那就是坚固的堡垒的安全 that the security at the mighty fortress
它并不总是像它应该的那样 wasn't always quite what it should have been.
多年来 数千名囚犯被关押在这里 Over the years, thousands of prisoners have been held here,
但只有40人逃过了这道墙 but just 40 have escaped these walls.
在它建成400多年后 More than 400 years after it was built,
塔仍然是中心 the tower remains the centerpiece
王室历史上最重要的时刻 for some of the most important moments in royal history.
1509年 亨利八世沿袭了皇室传统 In 1509, King Henry VIII followed royal tradition
他在加冕前住在塔里 by staying at the tower before his coronation.
1533年春 他的第二任妻子安妮·博林 And in spring 1533, his second wife, Anne Boleyn,
也来到了塔前加冕女王 also came to the tower before being crowned queen.
1533年5月29日 On the 29th of May, 1533,
安妮从格林威治乘驳船逆流而上 Anne traveled up the river from Greenwich by barge,
她就在这里的台阶上降落 and she landed right here at these steps,
她的到来受到了欢迎 and her arrival was greeted
通过一千门大炮的发射 by the firing of a thousand cannon.
安妮通过特殊的皇家入口进入了高塔 Anne entered the tower through the special royal entrance.
就像现在一样 Then, as now,
那是普通人不可入内的 it was out of bounds to ordinary mortals.
接着 她穿过这些门 Next, she came through these gates.
木头经过了测试 The wood's been tested,
我们知道它们是一样的 and we know that they're very same ones
她在近500年前走过这里 that she passed through nearly 500 years ago.
然后她受到了丈夫亨利的欢迎 Then she was welcomed to the tower by her husband, Henry,
据说他抱起并抚摸着她怀孕的肚子 and it's said that he cupped and stroked her pregnant belly.
所有这些盛况和仪式都是亨利申办的一部分 All this pomp and ceremony was part of Henry's bid
使安妮成为英格兰的合法女王 to legitimize Anne as England's rightful queen
为使她未出世的孩子成为他的合法继承人 and to establish her unbornchild as his rightful successor,
他渴望的儿子和继承人 his longed-for son and heir.
亨利已经为安妮的加冕典礼装饰好了这座塔 Henry had had the tower done up for Anne's coronation,
添加那些胡椒罐形的圆顶 adding those pepperpot domes
在白塔的塔楼上 onto the turrets of the White Tower.
现在 在所有这些宣传中 Now, with all of this fanfare
对她的到来大惊小怪 and all of this fuss being made about her arrival,
对安妮来说 这一定是一个真正的胜利时刻 for Anne, this must have been a real moment of triumph.
但不到三年之后 But less than three years later,
安妮的胜利却变成了灾难 Anne's triumph would turn to disaster.
1536年5月 她重返塔内 In May 1536, she returned to the tower.
她也是从王宫的门进来的 She entered by the same royal gate,
但她曾经的宫殿现在成了她的监狱 but what had been her palace was now her prison.
安妮没能给亨利生个儿子 After Anne failed to bear Henry a son,
他不顾一切地想结束他们的婚姻 he was desperate to end their marriage.
他以通奸罪逮捕了她 He had her arrested and charged with adultery,
乱伦和叛国罪 incest, and high treason.
伦敦塔的警察威廉·金斯顿爵士 The constable at the tower, Sir William Kingston,
报告了安妮的一言一行 reported everything Anne said and did
致亨利的首席大臣托马斯·克伦威尔 to Henry's chief minister, Thomas Cromwell.
安妮到达塔的第二天 The day after Anne arrived at the tower,
金斯顿给克伦威尔写了一封信 Kingston wrote a letter to Cromwell
描述她奇怪的歇斯底里的行为 describing her strange and hysterical behavior.
他说 前一分钟她还在哭 One minute, he said, she was weeping,
接着 她就陷入了他所描述的境地 the next, she'd fallen into what he described
作为大笑的一阵 as a fit of great laughing.
安妮受到审判并被判有罪 Anne was tried and found guilty.
她被判死刑 Her sentence was death.
这是金斯顿关于安妮的最后一封信 This is Kingston's last letter about Anne,
写于她即将死去的那天 written on the very day that she was to die.
他说她说她听到了 He reports that she'd said she'd heard
那个刽子手很厉害 that the executioner was very good
而且 无论如何 她只有一个小脖子 and that, in any case, she had just a little neck.
然后她用手抱住它 开心地笑着 And then she put her hand about it, laughing heartily.
然后他结束了— 这是真正可怕的部分— Then he finishes -- and this is the really macabre bit --
"这位女士对死亡有极大的快乐" that, "This lady has much joy and pleasure in death."
安妮也许已经听天由命了 Anne may have resigned herself to her fate,
但是她仍然选择了她死时穿的衣服 but she still chose the clothes in which she was to die
小心翼翼 with great care.
他们谈到她是无辜的 They spoke of her innocence.
在她的长袍上 她穿着貂皮 On her gown, she wore the ermine,
这是她皇室地位的标志 which was a marker of her royal status.
她的裙子是深红色的 殉教的颜色 And her skirt was crimson, the color of martyrdom.
1536年5月19日 On the 19th of May, 1536,
在白塔附近建立了一个临时脚手架 a temporary scaffold was erected close to the White Tower
安妮的执行 for Anne's execution.
安妮在这个断头台上做了最后的演讲 Anne made a final speech from this scaffold,
她在信中表达了对丈夫的忠诚 and in it she expressed her loyalty to her husband.
她说 国王对她从来都是这样 She said that, towards her, the king had ever been
一位善良、温和、至高主宰 a good, a gentle, a sovereign lord.
一个法国刽子手为安妮请来了 An expert French executioner had been brought in for Anne,
而不是通常的行为 and instead of the usual acts,
他一剑就砍下了她的头 he sliced off her headwith a single blow of his sword.
在她最后的日子里 这座塔成了安妮的整个世界 In her last days, the tower became Anne's entire world --
她的监狱 她的行刑地… her prison, her place of execution...
然后是她最后的安息之地 and then her final resting place.
她被葬在塔的第二教堂 She was buried in the tower's second church,
圣彼得和维库拉的皇家教堂 the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula.
安妮被安葬在棺材里 Anne was laid to rest, not in a proper coffin,
只是在一个装着箭的旧箱子里 but just in an old chest that had contained arrows.
她的墓地没有标记 And her burial place wasn't marked,
也许这样它就不会成为一个朝圣之地 perhaps so that it wouldn't become a place of pilgrimage
那些觉得她被不公正地杀害的人 for people who felt she'd been unjustly killed.
300年后 300 years later,
维多利亚时代的人们终于为安妮建造了一座纪念碑 the Victorians did finally create a memorial to Anne
我们认为她的尸体一定在那里 on the place where we think that her body must be.
但是…这是对女王的一种谦虚的致敬 But...it's a fairly modest tribute to this queen
他在英国历史上赫赫有名 who looms so large in English history.
但在某些方面 塔本身 But in some ways, the tower itself
是安妮的纪念 is Anne's memorial.
先是她的宫殿 然后是她的监狱 It was her palace and then her prison,
见证了她统治初期的地方 the place that saw the very beginning of her reign
和它的结束 and its very end.
诺曼人之后的四个世纪 Over four centuries after the Normans
建造了亨利八世统治时期的伦敦塔 built the Tower of London, King Henry VIII's reign
将见证一种新型皇家宫殿的诞生 would witness the birth of a new kind of royal palace.
汉普顿宫位于伦敦西南12英里处 Hampton Court, 12 miles southwest of London,
是亨利最喜欢的家 was Henry's favorite home.
像塔一样 它在宣告 Like the tower, it proclaims
君主的威严和威严 the monarch's might and magnificence,
但与塔不同的是 它不是一座坚不可摧的堡垒 but unlike the tower, it wasn't an impenetrable fortress.
汉普顿宫已经是我的办公室15年了 Hampton Court's been my office for 15 years now,
但每次来这里我都很激动 but I still get a thrill every single time I come here,
尤其是当我进入前门的时候 especially when I get to use the front door.
汉普顿宫一开始并不是皇家住所 Hampton Court didn't start life as a royal residence,
但当亨利八世在1528年迁入时 but when Henry VIII moved in in 1528,
他开始着手把它改造成一座适合国王居住的宫殿 he set about transforming it into a palace fit for a king.
我正在爬上那个又大又阴森的阁楼 I'm climbing up to the big, spooky attic.
游客通常不会看到它 Visitors don't normally get to see it,
但我认为这是宫殿里最奢华的部分之一 but I think it's one of the mostatmospheric parts of the palace.
这是都铎王朝的水管 There's some Tudor plumbing.
有一些格鲁吉亚的木制品 There's some Georgian woodwork.
看 我们有很多鹿角! And look -- we've got a profusion of antlers!
我们现在可能得爬窗了 We may have to climb through a window now,
但我向你保证 这种观点是值得的 but I promise you that the view is worth it.
那不是惊人的吗? Isn't that stunning?
国王是个大胃口的人 The king was a man of huge appetites,
当他开始翻修宫殿时 and when he began renovating the palace,
他最紧迫的问题之一 one of his most pressing concerns
让他庞大的宫廷吃得饱饱的 was keeping his vast court well-fed.
看看这些都铎王朝的烟囱 Just look at this forest of Tudor chimneys.
这整个区域都是厨房 This whole area is the kitchens.
亨利住在这里的时候 When Henry was in residence,
跟随他的仆人多达800人 he had up to 800 servants with him,
他们都在等晚餐 all of them expecting dinner.
都铎王朝的记录中说这些厨房 There's a Tudor record that says that these kitchens
一天需要80只羊 in one single day required 80 sheep,
十二头肥牛 十八头小牛 a dozen fat cows, 18 little calves,
更不用说家禽 猎物 鹿 and that's not to mentionthe poultry, the game, the deer,
野猪和兔子在上面 the boars, and the rabbits on top of that.
这是一个巨大的餐饮规模 This was catering on a gargantuan scale.
亨利的改进不仅限于厨房 Henry's improvements didn't end with the kitchens,
在他统治的大部分时间里 and for much of his reign,
汉普顿宫是一个建筑工地 Hampton Court was a building site.
国王把它当作一个绝妙的舞台布景 The king treated it as a fabulous stage set
他改变了环境 that he changed the scenery
就像他换老婆一样频繁 as often as he changed his wives.
当亨利接管宫殿时 When Henry took over the palace,
他仍与第一任妻子保持着婚姻关系 he was still married to his first wife,
阿拉贡的凯瑟琳 Catherine of Aragon.
阿拉贡的凯瑟琳以戴山墙帽而闻名 Catherine of Aragon was known for wearing the gable hood
它尖尖的山墙像一座房子的山墙 with its pointed gable like the gable of a house,
她的个人徽章是石榴 and her personal badge was the pomegranate.
这是凯瑟琳的个人石榴 And here is one of Catherine's personal pomegranates
刻在石拱上 carved into the stone archway.
这是亨利第一任妻子为数不多的踪迹之一 It's one of the few traces of Henry's first wife
在汉普顿宫生存 to survive at Hampton Court.
讽刺的是凯瑟琳的石榴 Now, the tragic irony is that Catherine's pomegranate
这是古代生育的象征吗 was the ancient symbol of fertility --
里面的这些小种子 all these little seeds inside it.
但她的不育症 But it was her infertility,
因为她不能忍受亨利 in the sense that she wasn't able to bear Henry
他想要的儿子 the son he wanted,
1533年 他与她离婚 that in 1533 meant that he divorced her.
在那之后 就像凯瑟琳自己一样 After that, like Catherine herself,
山墙帽和石榴 the gable hoods and the pomegranates
被驱逐出宫廷 were banished from court.
1533年亨利娶了第二任妻子 In 1533, Henry married his second wife,
命中注定的安妮·博林 the doomed Anne Boleyn,
同年他开始工作 in the same year he started work
在汉普顿宫壮观的大厅里 on Hampton Court's spectacular great hall.
相比之下 安妮·博林 Now, Anne Boleyn, by contrast,
她戴着迷人的法国风帽 she wore the glamorous French hood.
哦 很性感 这样头发就多了一点 Ooh. It's quite sexy. It shows a bit more hair.
她的徽章是好斗的猎鹰 And her badge was the aggressive falcon.
曾经有一段时间 Now, there was once a time
如果你来到这个房间 when if you'd have come into this room,
你会找到安妮的猎鹰的 you would have found Anne's falcons
还有字母“A”和“H”代表亨利 and the letter "A" and "H" for Henry
到处都缠绕在一起 intertwined all over the place.
但当亨利和安妮的关系恶化时 But when Henry and Anne's relationship soured,
他把这些符号都记下来了 he had all of these symbols taken down.
在这里的镶板上 Up here in the paneling,
你会看到一些奇怪的空白区域 you'll see some strangely blank areas.
工人们不得不把安妮的符号去掉 The workmen who had to do this job of removing Anne's symbols
必须在如此大的压力下这么快就完成 had to do it so quickly under such pressure
账目告诉我们他们有资格申请加班 that the accounts tell us theywere eligible to claim overtime.
他们做的太匆忙了 以至于他们犯了错误 And they did it in such a rush that they made mistakes.
如果你仔细观察这座宫殿 If you look at the palace really well,
你可以找到“A”和“H”表示安妮和亨利 you can find an "A" and an "H" for Anne and Henry
他们错过了 that they missed.
亨利没有浪费时间 Henry wasted no time.
他与第三任妻子简·西摩订婚 He got engaged to wife number three, Jane Seymour,
安妮被处决后的第二天 the day after Anne's execution.
现在 简女王想与过去彻底决裂 Now, Queen Jane wanted to make a complete break with the past,
她这样做的方式之一就是拒绝 and one of the ways that she did this was to reject
安妮·博林的法国头巾 the French hood of Anne Boleyn
回到阿拉贡的凯瑟琳的山墙上 and to go back to the gable hood of Catherine of Aragon.
她的徽章是凤凰 重生的象征 And her badge was the phoenix, the symbol of rebirth.
你可以在这里看到凤凰 You can see the phoenix in here
在天花板上仍然非常显眼 still very prominently visible on the ceiling.
为什么它还在那里 And the reason it's still up there,
它存活下来的原因 the reason it survived,
虽然简只是六个妻子中的第三任 is that although Jane was only wife number three of six,
她是亨利一直说他最爱的人 she was the one Henry always said that he loved the most.
宫殿宏伟的大厅 The palace's grand state rooms
画一幅都铎王朝的宏伟画卷 paint a magnificent picture of the Tudor court,
但对于亨利和简的整个故事 but for Henry and Jane's full story,
我们需要探索宫殿的一部分 we need to explore a part of the palace
那是不寻常的事 that's off the beaten track.
这边走 Come this way.
我真的很喜欢这些楼梯的名字 I really love the name of these stairs.
这叫做银棒楼梯 This is called the Silver Stick Staircase.
它进入一个禁止访客进入的房间 It goes to a room that's off limits to visitors.
如果我给你看这里是什么 If I show you what's in here,
你就会明白为什么没有展出了 you'll understand why it's not on display.
这只是一个我们用来培训员工的房间 It's just a room that we use for staff training sessions.
但是483年前 But 483 years ago,
这是简·西摩的卧室 this was Jane Seymour's bedroom.
在那之前 是安妮·波琳的 And before that, it was Anne Boleyn's.
在那之前 她是阿拉贡的凯瑟琳 And before that, it was Catherine of Aragon's.
想不到他们三个都睡在这里 It's extraordinary to think that all three of them slept here.
1537年10月12日 On the 12th of October, 1537,
简·西摩就是在这个房间里 it was in this room that Jane Seymour
终于生了个儿子 finally gave birth to a son,
亨利渴望了近30年的继承人 the heir that Henry had been craving for nearly 30 years.
这对亨利来说是一个欢欣鼓舞的时刻 This was a moment of rejoicing and relief for Henry,
我相信简也一样 and I'm sure for Jane, too.
她已经完成了她的工作 She'd done her job.
但有一件令人心酸的事 But here's the poignant thing.
她的儿子刚出生两周 Just two weeks after the birth of her son,
简病了 Jane fell sick,
她也是在这个房间里去世的 and it was also in this room that she died.
数百年过去了 这个快乐诞生的记忆 Centuries on, the memory of this joyful birth
悲惨的死亡仍然挥之不去 and tragic death still lingers.
据说简的鬼魂常在这个楼梯上出没 It's said that Jane's ghost haunts this staircase
每天晚上她走下这些台阶 and that each night she comes down these steps
她向她几乎不认识的儿子的育儿室走去 and walks towards the nursery of the son she scarcely knew.
说到鬼魂 When it comes to ghosts,
我必须承认 我不相信 I must admit, I'm not a believer,
但我确实认为简·西摩的鬼魂 but I do think that the ghost of Jane Seymour
有一个有趣的故事 has an interesting story.
看到简和其他幽灵在汉普顿宫 Sightings of Jane, and the other spooks at Hampton Court,
在19世纪才真正开始发展 really took off in the 19th century
当宫殿变成了一个旅游景点 when the palace had become a visitor attraction.
你甚至可以买一张像这样的明信片 You could even buy a postcard like this one
展示了简的鬼魂…… showing Jane's ghost...
…看起来就像此刻的我一样令人信服 ...looking almost as convincing as I am at this moment.
就像这里说的 “每晚见 ” And, as it says here, "As seen nightly."
愤世嫉俗的人可能会说宫殿里的幽灵 The cynical might say that the ghosts of the palace
是为了吸引游客而发明的 had been invented in order to be a draw for tourists.

乍一看 汉普顿宫看起来像 At first glance, Hampton Court looks like
保存完好的都铎王朝过去的景象 a perfectly preserved vision of the Tudor past.
但再看一次 它实际上是两个宫殿合在一起 But look again, and it's really two palaces in one.
在汉普顿宫成为亨利八世的家150年后 150 years after Hampton Court was home to Henry VIII,
都铎宫的一半被完全重建 half of the old Tudor palace was completely rebuilt.
这边走… Come this way...
我们可以在时间里旅行 and we can travel in time
来自16世纪都铎王朝 from the 16th-century world of the Tudors over there
到17世纪晚期的斯图亚特王朝 to the late-17th-century world of the Stuarts over here.
1689年这里开始建筑工程时 When building works began here in 1689,
没有比这更高的野心了 ambitions couldn't have been higher.
汉普顿宫这边 This side of Hampton Court
被重新设计成最新的巴洛克风格 was redesigned in the latest baroque style,
从秩序和对称中获得灵感 taking inspiration from the order and symmetry
古典建筑 of classical architecture.
斯图亚特国王威廉和玛丽 Stuart monarchs William and Mary
希望他们的新宫殿能与路易十四的媲美 wanted their new palace to rival King Louis XIV's
壮观的凡尔赛宫 spectacular Versailles.
但这种“泰晤士河上的凡尔赛”的印象 But this impression of "Versailles on Thames"
只是表面的 is only skin-deep.
威廉和玛丽想重建整个宫殿 William and Mary wanted to rebuild the whole palace
在那闪闪发光的波特兰石头上 in that glittering white Portland stone,
但他们负担不起 but they couldn't afford it.
现在 这里隐藏着一些东西 Now, tucked away here is something
威廉和玛丽不想让你注意到的 that William and Mary didn't want you to notice,
这应该是可爱的白色波特兰石 This should be lovely white Portland stone.
但是相反 看 它是黄色的 But instead it's -- Look. It's yellow.
这是牛津郡石 This is Oxfordshire stone.
便宜很多 但不匹配 A lot cheaper, but it doesn't match.
还有这个— 这个石头太可怕了! And this -- this is terrible stone here!
都是易碎的! It's all crumbly!
这是红玉石 This is Reigate stone,
从都铎王朝的宫殿中重复使用 reused from the old Tudor palace.
这是抄近路 这是有原因的 This is corner cutting. And there's a reason for this.
与法国的路易十四不同 Unlike Louis XIV in France,
威廉和玛丽并不是绝对的君主 William and Mary weren't absolute monarchs.
他们只有在国会同意的情况下才能统治 They only reigned with the consent of parliament,
也就是说 不像路易 which meant that, unlike Louis,
他们没有无限的皇家预算 they didn't have a bottomless royal budget.
这些华丽的外表就这么多了 So much for these fancy facades.
对我来说 隐藏在它们背后的角落和缝隙 To me, the nooks and crannies hidden behind them
都同样迷人 are just as fascinating.
如果你想探索 If you want to explore
300年前这里生活丑陋的一面 the seamier side of life here 300 years ago,
然后我认为我们需要探索 then I think we need to explore
汉普顿宫的小通道 the little passageways of Hampton Court.
看看角落里这些有趣的小栏杆 Look at these funny little railings in the corner.
它们是干什么用的? What could they be for?
嗯 一个“法庭”是一大批人 Well, a "court" is a large body of men.
没有太多像样的厕所 There aren't too many proper toilets.
这些栏杆是用来阻止朝臣的 And these railings have been put here to stop the courtiers
避免在角落里小便 from taking a leak in the corner.
显然 它不是100%有效 Obviously, it's not 100% effective,
但这确实比理想情况下少了一点隐私 but it does give you a bit less privacy than would be ideal.
当你今天来到汉普顿宫 Now, when you come to Hampton Court today,
一切都干净可爱 everything is clean and lovely.
我必须承认 这是一个净化版 And I have to admit, it's a sanitized version
肮脏难闻的过去 of a dirty, smelly past.
以及宫廷生活的弱点 And the traces of this underbelly of court life
随处可见…… are absolutely everywhere...
如果你知道去哪里找 if you know where to look.
这是宫殿专用的巧克力厨房 Now, this is the palace's dedicated chocolate kitchen,
热巧克力是早餐饮料的选择 hot chocolate being the breakfast drink of choice
在斯图亚特时代 in the Stuart period.
安妮女王对此爱不释手 Queen Anne couldn't get enough of it.
但我真正想给你们看的是这里 But what I really want to show you is in here.
这是一幅17世纪晚期的涂鸦 It's a piece of late-17th-century graffiti
乱涂在墙上 scribbled up onto the walls.
这是一张裸体女人的照片 It's a picture of a naked lady.
你可以在侧面上方看到她的头 You can see her head at the top in profile.
然后我们讲到她的胸部 很奇怪 Then we come down to her bosoms that, rather strangely,
一个放在另一个上面 are placed one on top of the other.
然后我们看到她的裸腿 Then we have her naked legs,
但是她穿着一双画得很漂亮的鞋子 but she's wearing a ratherbeautifully drawn pair of shoes.
我想我们有了一个深刻的认识 I think we're getting an insight here
变成一个无聊的小侍童 into the life of a bored page boy
等着取主人点的热巧克力 waiting here to pick uphis master's hot-chocolate order
在墙上涂鸦来填补时间 and filling in the time by scribbling on the walls.
我不确定他是不是很熟悉 I'm not sure he was entirely familiar
在女性解剖方面 with the female anatomy,
但从他做鞋的方式来看 but from the way he's done the shoes so well,
我怀疑他可能是个恋足癖者 I suspect that he may have been a foot fetishist.
虽然现实的宫廷生活 Although the realities of palace life
肯定是破旧不堪的 could be decidedly down-at-heel,
英国18世纪的国王和王后 Britain's 18th-century kings and queens
突然发现了一种保持外表的新方法 hit upon a new way of keeping up appearances.
这里太棒了 It's brilliant in here.
这些是储藏室 These are the storerooms
皇家礼服的收藏 of the royal ceremonial dress collection.
这些衣服是国王和王后的 These clothes belonged to kings and queens
还有500多年前的朝臣 and courtiers going back over 500 years.
我的同事 Eleri Lynn My colleague, Eleri Lynn,
正在帮我打开我们的一颗星 is helping me unpack one of our star pieces.
这一定是我最喜欢的东西 This has to be my favorite thing
在整个服装收藏中 in the whole of the dress collection.
-是的 非常令人震惊 -Yeah, it's pretty stunning.
-这条裙子已经有250多年的历史了 -This dress is over 250 years old.
-这首曲子最引人注目的地方是什么 -What's really striking about this particular piece
它依然闪耀着光芒 is that it still shines and sparkles.
大部分的银都被氧化了 Most silver this old would have oxidized
一直是灰色和沉闷的 and been gray and dull.
你们这里的是漂亮的法国丝绸 What you have here is beautiful French silk
那实际上是编织的 that has actually been woven
织布机上放着真正的银条 with real silver bullion on the loom,
所以它还在发光的情况非常非常罕见 so the fact this is still shining is very, very rare.
-你会觉得这应该被看 -You get the sense that this is supposed to be viewed
在烛光下 -当然 by candlelight. -Absolutely.
闪闪发光 -是的 -Glinting. -Yeah.
我们要取消吗?电梯 -Shall we lift? -Lift.
-这条裙子是罗金汉女士的 -The dress belonged to Lady Rockingham,
18世纪首相的妻子 wife of an 18th-century prime minister.
-异常保存完好 -It's exceptionally well-preserved,
即使是这个可爱的丝绸衬里 even down to this lovely bit of silk lining here,
哪个被加在了火车的后面 which has been added to the back of the train
吸收宫殿地板上的灰尘 to absorb the dirt and the dust from the palace floors.
-我们还能看到一些格鲁吉亚的垃圾 -Well, we can still see some Georgian muck
和它相连 that's become attached to it.
我爱that.-Absolutely 这是真的 I love that.-Absolutely. It's the real deal.
-这是裙子 这是一个弥天大谎! -And this is the skirt. It's a whopper!
你说是六英尺宽吗? Would you say that was six feet across?
很容易 它基本上是一个大矩形 -Easily. It's basically worn as a big rectangle.
-你穿这样的裙子能做什么? -And what can you actually do in a dress like this,
除了站着好看之外? apart from standing around looking good?
因为你不能弯腰 你不能通过门口 Because you can't bend over,you can't get through a doorway,
你当然不能跑着去赶公共汽车 you certainly can't run to catch a bus.
这件衣服不实用 是吗? -This dress is not a dress for practicality, is it?
但你要穿这样的衣服去法庭 But you had to wear a dress like this to court.
你不被允许进入宫殿 You weren't allowed into the palaces
去见国王或王后 to meet the king or queen
除非你穿这样的衣服 unless you were wearing a dress like this.
所以这基本上是18世纪的法院制服 So this basically is courtuniform during the 18th century.
-像这样的裙子要多少钱 -How much money would a dress like this
你认为有成本吗?-这件衣服会很贵的 have cost, do you think? -This dress would have cost
和一幢非常坚固的房子一样多 as much as a very substantial house.
我们知道很多人甚至是贵族 We know that a lot of even members of the nobility
抵押他们的财产和土地 were mortgaging their properties and mortgaging their land
只是为了买一件法庭制服 但这是一项投资 just to afford a court uniform, but it's an investment
因为你希望你的穿着 because you're hoping that what you're wearing
会引起国王或王后的注意 is going to grab the attention of the king or queen.
如果他们过来跟你说话 And if they come over and talk to you
赞美你的衣着 and compliment you on your clothes,
那样的话 你也许可以 that way, you might be able
在宫廷中获得晋升或职位 to get a promotion or position at court.
对我来说 最明显的对等物就是红地毯 The obvious equivalent for me is the red carpet
在奥斯卡这样的颁奖典礼上 at an awards ceremony like the Oscars.
一切都是为了被看见 It's all about being seen.
-我觉得这条裙子就像是缺失的一环 -I think of this dress as being like the missing link.
如果你进入宫殿 它是非常辉煌的 If you go into the palace, it's very splendid,
但它有点空 but it's kind of empty.
原因是它应该挤满了女士 And the reason is that it should have been packed full of ladies
穿这样的衣服 真多! wearing dresses like this, loads of them!
当宫廷服装变得越来越庞大时 While court dresses were becoming ever more enormous,
当涉及到他们的宫殿时 君主制正在缩小 when it came to their palaces, the monarchy was downsizing.
肯辛顿宫于1689年成为皇家住所 Kensington Palace became a royal residence in 1689.
现在在市中心 It's now in the heart of the city,
就在艾伯特大厅的那条路上 just down the road from the Albert Hall.
但在那时 患有哮喘的国王威廉三世 But back then, the asthmatic King William III
选择它作为远离伦敦污染空气的健康疗养地 chose it as a healthy retreatfrom the polluted air of London.
现在 作为郊区别墅 这显然很好 Now, as suburban villas go, this is obviously pretty nice,
但你必须承认 这是一种退步 but you've got to admit it's a bit of a step down
从汉普顿宫 from Hampton Court.
与之前的版本相比 Compared to its predecessors,
肯辛顿宫非常温馨 Kensington Palace is positively homey.
这座宫殿在格鲁吉亚时代才真正有了自己的特色 The palace really came into its own in the Georgian era,
从1714年开始 beginning in 1714.
议会是如此绝望 Parliament was so desperate
以避免一位天主教徒登上王位 to avoid having a Catholic on the throne
他们引进了新教国王乔治一世 that they imported protestant King George I
和他从德国远道而来的皇室 and his readymade royal family all the way from Germany.
新国王的处境很特殊 The new king was in a unique situation.
他是受邀请而不是受权利 He was royal by invitation, not by right,
这意味着他可能会被解雇 and that meant he could be sacked.
乔治一世到达英国时 When George I arrived in Britain,
他很快意识到他的新朝臣们不喜欢他 he quickly realized that his new courtiers didn't like him.
的确 他是个很无聊的人 It is true that he was quite boring company
他的英语不是很好 and his English wasn't great,
但这也是真的 but it's also true
朝臣们极度排外 that the courtiers were outrageously xenophobic.
所以他决定给他们一个好机会来赢得他们的好感 So he decided to win them over by showing them a good time.
为此 他重建了肯辛顿宫 To that end, he rebuilt Kensington Palace
变成一种舞台布景 into a sort of stage set
一连串的酷炫聚会 for a whole succession of cool gatherings.
他把这里变成了…一个政党宫殿 He turned this place into... a party palace.
宫廷里没有客人名单 There was no guest list at court.
理论上 它是对所有人开放的 In theory, it was open to all,
但在实际操作中 进入并不那么简单 but in practice, getting in wasn't so straightforward.
现在 让它到达这个楼梯的顶部 Now, to make it to the top of this staircase
带着一点磨难来到国王面前 and into the king's presence with a bit of an ordeal.
这些朝臣都画在这里 These courtiers are all painted up here
提醒你 在宫廷里 to remind you that at court
你会受到监视和评判 you will be watched and you will be judged
看看你是否属于这里 to see if you belong or not.
最后 上面那些Beefeaters And, ultimately, those Beefeaters up there,
就像伦敦塔的那些 just like the ones at the Tower of London,
他们有武器 他们会做出决定 they're armed, and they will be deciding
你是要进去还是要回家 whether you're going in or whether you're going home.
但也有一些行之有效的技术 But there were some well-established techniques
为了你的甜言蜜语 for wheedling your way in.
第一 衣服非常重要 One, clothes are all-important,
如果你的发型不合适 and if you don't have the right look,
那么你应该向朋友借一些更好的衣服 then you should borrow some better clothes from a friend.
2、贿赂 Two, bribery.
有一次 一个年轻的法律系学生试图入学 但失败了 Once, a young law student tried to get in and failed.
他去咖啡店呆了半小时 He went off to the coffee shop for half an hour.
他回来了 这一次他给了仆人一个先令 He came back, and this time he gave the footman a shilling,
并且它成功了! and it worked!
像火箭一样 In like a rocket.
第三 你要做的是等待 直到你看到一个时髦的人走过来 Three, what you do is wait until you see a posh person coming.
哦 现在又来了一个 Ooh. Here comes one now.
然后你站在他们后面 And then you get in behind them
你假装是他们的仆人 and you pretend to be their servant.
你可以称之为滑流 You might call it slipstreaming.
毕竟 如果你真的出现在国王面前 After all that, if you did make it into the king's presence,
你可能会想 you might then have wondered
这样的努力是否值得 whether it had been worth the effort.
如果你看到的不仅仅是奢华的法庭装备 If you look beyond the extravagant court outfits
还有繁复的宫廷仪式 and the elaborate court rituals, though,
你懂的 you do get the sense
这个地方真的不再重要了 that this place no longer really mattered.
皇家宫殿曾经是 Royal palaces had once been
土地上最重要的建筑 the most important buildings in the land,
但现在是大的辩论 大的决定 but now the big debates, the big decisions
都发生在城市里 were all happening out there in the city,
在新闻界 在议会 in the press, in parliament.
到1830年 格鲁吉亚时代接近尾声 By 1830, the Georgian age was drawing to its close,
英国的下一任君主将开启一个全新的时代 and Britain's next monarch would inaugurate an entirely new era.
现在我要带你们去宫殿里一个非常令人兴奋的房间 Now I'm taking you to a really exciting room in the palace,
哪里有纪念事件 where an event of monumental
发生了重大的历史事件 historical significance took place.
跟我来 Come with me.
那是2002年一个寒冷的秋日 在这个房间里 It was in this room on a cold autumn day in 2002
我是来面试首席策展人的 that I came for my job interview to become chief curator
在历史悠久的皇家宫殿 at Historic Royal Palaces,
但也许这个房间在历史上更广为人知 but perhaps the room is better known to history
1819年春天发生的事 for what happened here on a spring day in 1819.
一个女婴出生了 A baby girl was born.
未来的维多利亚女王! The future Queen Victoria!
年轻的维多利亚在肯辛顿过着受庇护的生活 The young Victoria led a sheltered life at Kensington.
从5岁开始 From the age of 5,
她最亲密的伴侣和最亲密的朋友 her closest companion and dearest friend
是她的德国女家庭教师莱森男爵夫人 was her German governess, Baroness Lehzen.
这是一本剪贴簿 或者相册 This is a scrapbook, or an album,
Lehzen自己编的 that Lehzen herself has compiled,
满是她以前的学生的小纪念品 full of little mementos of her former pupil.
这是多么可爱的一件事 It's such a lovely thing,
这是我们的新产品 and it's a new addition to our collection,
所以好好看看它是一件乐事 so it's a treat to have a good look at it.
在这个页面上 Lehzen被卡住了 On this page, Lehzen's stuck in
公主的头发碎片 snippets of the princess' hair.
这里有一个标签 Here's one labeled
“维多利亚公主婴儿时的头发 ” "Princess Victoria's hair as a baby."
她在这里长大 接受教育 Here she's growing upand going through her education,
还有她的笔迹样本 with a sample of her handwriting.
这是心碎地整洁 It's heartbreakingly neat.
这个页面 非常漂亮 And this page, this is really gorgeous.
这是维多利亚婚纱的碎片 It's a fragment of Victoria's wedding dress --
丑化 awhite
结婚礼服 wedding dress --
因为维多利亚开创了这个伟大的时尚 because Victoria started off this great fashion
现在仍然是新娘穿全白的婚纱 that still continues for brides to be dressed all in white.
现在 这本小书真正可爱的地方是 Now, the really lovely thing about this little book
Lehzen显然是用爱来做这件事的 is that Lehzen has clearly made it with love.
她把她的学生当作某种代孕女儿 And she thought of her pupilas a kind of surrogate daughter.
当他们在私下里 And when they were in private,
维多利亚自己则称她为“妈妈” Victoria herself would call her governess "Mother."
但维多利亚和她亲生母亲的关系 But Victoria's relationship with her real mother,
肯特公爵夫人更苦恼 the Duchess of Kent, was more troubled,
和维多利亚鄙视 and Victoria despised
她母亲最亲密的顾问约翰·康罗伊爵士 her mother's closest adviser, Sir John Conroy,
她严格控制着自己的成长过程 who strictly controlled every aspect of her upbringing.
这是年轻维多利亚的旅行床 This is the young Victoria's traveling bed.
它是分开的 所以它可以随她从一个地方到另一个地方 It comes apart so it could go with her from place to place.
她需要一张这样的床 And she needed a bed like this
因为她妈妈和康罗伊决定 because her mother and Conroy decided
她应该离开宫殿 that she should get out of the palace.
他们派她去巡演 They sent her on tour
去和她未来的臣民面对面 to go to meet her future subjects face-to-face.
皇室的想法 The idea that a royal
会不敢走出宫殿的大门吗 would venture out beyond the palace gates
与普通人见面 to meet ordinary people
是革命性的 was a revolutionary one.
维多利亚非常讨厌这些旅行 Victoria really hated these tours.
她受到那么多人的监督 She was put under the scrutiny of so many people
看着她 评价她 looking at her, judging her.
但是这些旅行确立了一个重要的原则 But these tours established an important principle
直到今天 which stands to this very day,
皇室成员并不多属于他们的宫殿 that royals belonged not so much in their palaces,
但在公众的视线中 but out there in the public eye.
1836年5月18日 On the 18th of May, 1836,
16岁的维多利亚 the 16-year-old Victoria
开始为自己规划皇宫之外的生活 was beginning to plan a life for herself beyond the palace.
她也在等着他的到来 And she was also awaiting the arrival
她的一些德国亲戚 of some of her German relatives.
在这个楼梯上 维多利亚第一次见到了她的堂兄阿尔伯特 Victoria first set eyes on hercousin Albert on this staircase.
维多利亚记录了与阿尔伯特的第一次会面 Victoria recorded this first meeting with Albert
在她的日记 in her journal,
她说他“非常英俊” and she says that he is "extremely handsome."
“他的头发 ”她说 "His hair," she says,
“和我的颜色差不多 ” "is about the same color as mine."
嗯 嗯 有趣 Hm. Hmm. Funny, that.
他的眼睛是蓝色的 "His eyes are blue.
他有一个漂亮的鼻子 ” He has a beautiful nose."
哦 是的 Oh, yes.
还有一张漂亮的嘴和“精致的牙齿” And a nice mouth with "fine teeth."
哦 是的! Oh, yes!
好吃 Tasty.
但恐怕他说的关于她的话 But I'm afraid all he had to say about her
她非常和蔼可亲 was that she was very amiable.
当然 艾伯特最终被说服了 Of course, Albert was eventually won over,
他们于1814年结婚 and they married in 1814.
当她登上王位时 When she ascended the throne,
维多利亚离开了肯辛顿宫 Victoria left Kensington Palace,
一个多世纪以来 它变成了一潭死水 and for over a century, it became a bit of a backwater.
温莎王朝初期 At the beginning of the Windsor era,
居住在这里的大多是小皇族 it was lived in mostly by minor royals.
但当戴安娜王妃在20世纪80年代搬来时 But when Princess Diana moved in in the 1980s,
全世界的目光又回到了宫殿上 the eyes of the world were back on the palace.
正如戴安娜所发现的 作为一个现代皇室成员的生活 As Diana discovered, life as a modern royal
意味着生活在公众面前 meant a life lived in public.
为了面对公众 戴安娜聚集在一起 And to face her public, Diana assembled
世界上最著名的衣橱之一 one of the world's most famous wardrobes.
这就像是打开了世界上最好的生日礼物 This is like opening the world's best birthday present.
-这真令人兴奋 这是第一次 -This is genuinely exciting. This is the first time
自从我们买了它 我就一直看到它 that I've seen it since we acquired it.
-可爱!— 是 -It's lovely! -It is.
这是我最喜欢的裙子之一 This is one of myvery favorite dresses, actually,
所以我非常激动能收藏它 and so I'm absolutely thrilled to have it in the collection.
它是由 It was designed by
伦敦设计师Victor Edelstein说 the London-based designer Victor Edelstein
1985年 戴安娜王妃去世 for Princess Diana in 1985.
她穿着它去了白宫 And she wore it to the White House,
在那里 她与约翰·特拉沃尔塔共舞 非常有名 and there, very famously, she danced with John Travolta,
这就是为什么这条裙子有了这个绰号 which is why this dress gets its nickname,
“特拉沃尔塔的衣服 ” "The Travolta Dress."
-我喜欢这张照片的原因 -What I love about that picture
戴安娜和约翰·特拉沃尔塔一起跳舞 of Diana and John Travolta dancing together
你们能看到背景吗 is that in the background you can see
罗纳德·里根和南希·里根被追星了! Ronald and Nancy Reagan being starstruck!
是的 绝对的 Yeah. Absolutely.
我想— 我想所有人都在想 I think that -- I think the whole crowd was,
我觉得— 老实说 我觉得整个世界都被明星迷住了 and I think -- To be honest, I think the world was starstruck,
因为它成为了全球的头条新闻 because it made headlines across the globe.
这条裙子怎么穿?是什么让它看起来这么好? -How does this dress work? What makes it look so good?
-这是这条裙子好看的部分原因 -Part of what made this dress look good
就是戴安娜王妃戴过它 was the fact that Princess Diana wore it.
但这是一件非常漂亮的衣服 But this is a very beautifully constructed dress.
它穿的是午夜蓝色的丝绒 So, it's in a midnight-blue velvet.
很巧妙地从胸衣到大腿都有褶皱 Very artfully ruched all the way down the bodice to the thigh.
但这些照片真正神奇的地方在于那条裙子 But the real magic of those photos is that that skirt
是如此的满 以致它在她周围旋转 is so full that it twirled up around her.
如果她穿的是别的衣服 If she had been wearing any other dress,
这些照片就不会如此具有标志性了 those photos wouldn't have been nearly as iconic.
这是一个难以置信的会议 And it's that incredible meeting
好莱坞和皇室走到了一起 of Hollywood and royalty coming together
那只是某种程度上抓住了每个人的想象力 that just sort of captured everyone's imagination.
-你认为这条裙子说明了戴安娜的什么 -What do you think this dress says about Diana's
时尚增长信心? growing fashion confidence?
在80年代早期 戴安娜仍然穿着 -In the early '80s, Diana was still wearing
很多非常新颖、浪漫的风格 lots of very new, romantic styles.
这么多的花言巧语 很多蓬松的袖子 So lots of frills. Lots of puffy sleeves.
但在1985年 情况发生了变化 But in 1985, there's a shift,
你会发现她正在转向设计师 and you find her moving towards designers
走向非常时尚和永恒的设计 and towards designs that are very sleek and very timeless.
这就是她当时坚持的风格 And that's the style she stuck with then
在她的余生中 for the rest of her life,
非常时髦的圆柱裙 those very kind of sleek column dresses.
我猜这是一个女人在寻找自己的风格 And it shows a woman, I guess, finding her own style,
也是一种在国际舞台上发挥作用的风格 but also a style that worked on an international stage.
-她有点变成她自己了 -She sort of becomes herself.
