在1482年建造的这座6460平方英尺的城堡里，一位女士分享了她的快乐和困难

In the Middle Ages, castles were usually fortified buildings meant to survive enemies’ attacks. They were built for royal and noble families to not only be safe, but to reside in too. Often, castles were miniature towns with servants doing the chores, soldiers guarding the castle, and extended family living under the same roof.

在中世纪，城堡通常是为了在敌人的攻击中幸存下来而加固的建筑。他们是为皇室和贵族家庭建造的，不仅是为了安全，而且也是为了居住。通常，城堡都是由仆人做家务，士兵守卫城堡，大家庭住在同一个屋檐下的小型城镇。

Nowadays, we are used to seeing castles that are turned into museums. We can visit them and see how people lived centuries ago, what art they liked, how they decorated the interior, what their daily life looked like. But there are also people who own castles and live in them or rent them to other people.

如今，我们已经习惯了看到被改造成博物馆的城堡。我们可以参观它们，看看几个世纪前的人们是如何生活的，他们喜欢什么艺术，他们如何装饰室内，他们的日常生活是什么样子。但是也有一些人拥有城堡并住在里面或者把城堡租给别人。
