【跟着英剧练发音】The Queens Palaces E01-6

 文本：

Henry VIII's love of riding bordered on the obsessional¹. Before he became so grossly fat, he would ride seven days a week, wear out eight horses in a day. So he decided² to turn the land north of Westminster into his own private royal hunting ground. What few residents there were, he slung³ them out, and then he built a brick wall to keep them out.

In 1532, Henry VIII drained the land where Buckingham Palace now stands and created a well-stocked deer park. Henry often rode here, for hunting, courting and conducting business.

翻译君：

亨利八世对骑马的酷爱，简直到了强迫的程度。在他发福以前，他可以天天骑马，一天就能把八匹马折腾得筋疲力尽。他决定把威斯敏斯特北部的土地变成他自己的私人皇家狩猎场，至于居住在那里的一些人，就把他们给撵走了，然后建起围墙隔离了起来。

 

1532年，亨利八世排干了沼泽地里的水，就在现在白金汉宫矗立的地方创建了鹿园，驯养了数量丰富的鹿。亨利经常在这里骑马，狩猎，求爱，以及处理政事。
