現實生活中可參觀的十大電影景點(上)

We all wish that we could take classes at Hogwarts with Harry Potter or get the chance to dance with a real Disney prince or princess in their castle. While none of that, sadly, is possible, there are several real sites throughout the world that were either used directly in one of our favorite films or used as a basis for an animated film.

我們都希望我們可以與哈利·波特在霍格沃茨上課或有機會與真正的迪斯尼王子或公主在他們的城堡跳舞。遺憾的是，這都是不可能的。但是，世界上有許多地方直接作爲我們喜歡的電影的拍攝地點或者是動畫片的拍攝基地。我們可以去這些地方感受參觀電影中的場景。

ick Castle--Harry Potter

10.艾維克城堡--《哈利·波特》

Every kid who has grown up with the Harry Potter book series has dreamed about getting that fated letter and going to Hogwarts. While there are no classes or wand-waving at Alnwick Castle, it is the location where the first two Harry Potter movies—The Sorcerer's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets—were filmed. Visitors may recognize Alnwick Castle's courtyard as the field where the famous first flying lesson takes place.

每一個看着哈利·波特系列叢書長大的孩子都夢想得到命中註定的信並去霍格沃茨學習。儘管在艾維克城堡中沒有同學或揮動的魔杖,但是這裏卻是哈利·波特前兩部電影——《哈利波特和魔法石》和《哈利波特與密室》——的拍攝地點。遊客可以識別出艾維克城堡的庭院就是上第一節飛行課的地方。

Alnwick Castle has also played a major role throughout history—it was one of the most important locations in the infamous War of the Roses between the houses of York and Lancaster. Specifically, it was one of three major castles that Queen Margaret (who was supported by the Lancastrians) managed to recapture after her husband Henry was forced from his throne by the Yorkists.

艾維克城堡在歷史中也發揮了重要作用——它是蘭開斯特家族與約克家族之間臭名昭著的玫瑰戰爭中最重要的一個戰場。具體地說,它是三大城堡之一,瑪格利特皇后(得到了蘭開斯特王朝的擁護) 在她的丈夫亨利被約克王朝支持者逼迫讓位之後設法奪回政權的地方。

ne Wood--Multiple Films

ne Wood--多部電影

Bourne Wood is one of the most iconic areas for filming, and dozens of movies have used this forest for their scenes. Not only is it where the opening battle scene for the famous movie Gladiator was filmed, it was also used in movies such as The Golden Compass, Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, and Captain America. Besides its prestige in the film industry, Bourne Wood is also an important area environmentally—it's home to several rare animal species.

Bourne Wood是最具標誌性的電影拍攝地區之一,許多電影用這片森林作爲它們的場景。它不僅是著名電影《角鬥士》開放戰鬥場景的拍攝地點,它也曾被用於電影《金色羅盤》、《哈利波特與混血王子》、《哈利波特與死亡聖器》和《美國隊長》。除了在電影行業名聲大噪外, Bourne Wood也是一個重要的保護區——它是一些稀有動物的棲息地。

Conservationists have raised serious concerns about the risks the movie industry poses to the forest and its inhabitants, especially the explosions and other loud noises that disrupt not only the animals, but also the people living around the woods. Recently, limitations have been proposed to only allow filming to take place six months out of the year, and night filming has been limited to seven days per year.

環保主義者提出了電影工業對森林和棲居其中的動物產生了嚴重危害的擔憂,尤其是爆炸和其他噪音不僅打擾了動物,還有生活在樹林周圍裏的人。最近,已經提出限制每年只允許在此拍攝6個月,並且晚上拍攝每年最多7天。

e Castle--Monty Python And The Holy Grail

8.杜恩城堡--《巨蟒和聖盃》

When the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail was shot, this castle was used for not one, but several different castles throughout the story, from the location of the infamous wedding scene to the lair of the man-eating rabbit. Doune Castle has also had a variety of uses throughout history, from a royal retreat used by figures such as Mary Queen Of Scots to a literal prison used to house dissenters against the throne. It also served as a garrison used by the Scottish army against Oliver Cromwell.

當電影《巨蟒和聖盃》取景時, 從臭名昭著的婚禮現場到殺人兔的洞穴，不僅僅只有杜恩城堡一個城堡，而是多個城堡貫穿整個故事。縱觀歷史，杜恩城堡也有許多用處,從像蘇格蘭瑪麗女王一樣的大人物的皇家寓所到用來拘留王權反對者的政治監獄。它還是蘇格蘭軍隊對抗奧利弗·克倫威爾的戰略要地。

However, the castle was not always an effective prison, and there are accounts of enemy soldiers escaping by tying together bedsheets and simply climbing out the window. This makes the scene with Lancelot and the effeminate prince who attempts to escape out the window even more hilarious. Today, Doune Castle is under the highest level of protection for heritage buildings in Scotland.

然而,城堡並不總是很好的監獄,許多敵兵把牀單系在一起，簡簡單單地就可以爬出窗外逃跑。這使得蘭斯洛特和柔弱的王子試圖逃出窗外的場景更加搞笑。現在,杜恩城堡正處於蘇格蘭古建築最高水平的保護之下。

more Towers--Batman Begins

7.蒙特摩爾塔樓--《蝙蝠俠：俠影之謎》

Recently, superhero movies have become a lot darker and grittier than they used to be—just check out The Amazing Spiderman and Man of Steel for examples. However, there is one superhero that's always been the dark horse of the comic world. Batman is not only one of the coolest superheroes out there, he also has one of the coolest bases. But while Wayne Manor is undoubtedly awesome, its real-life counterpart, Mentmore Towers, has its own fascinating history.

最近,超級英雄電影比以往更加黑暗和殘酷——僅以超凡蜘蛛俠和鋼鐵之軀爲例便可以看出。然而,一直有一個超級英雄是漫畫世界的黑馬。蝙蝠俠不僅是最酷的超級英雄,他也有一個最酷的拍攝基地。雖然韋恩莊園無疑是可怕的,然而它現實生活中對應的地方,蒙特摩爾塔樓,卻有着引人入勝的歷史。

The towers were actually created by Joseph Paxton (the creator of the world famous Crystal Palace) for the Baron Mayer de Rothschild. However, it had a much more important purpose during World War II—the British government chose Mentmore specifically to protect many of their national artworks. One of the most important treasures was the Gold State Coach, which has been used at the coronation of every British monarch since George IV.

實際上，樓塔是由約瑟夫·帕克斯頓(世界著名水晶宮的創建者)爲梅爾羅斯柴爾德男爵所建。然而,在第一次世界大戰期間它有一個更重要的目的——英國政府專門選擇蒙特摩爾來保護他們的許多國家藝術品。其中最重要的一件是黃金馬車,自從喬治四世以來，每位英國君主在加冕儀式上都要乘坐黃金馬車。

chwanstein Castle--Sleeping Beauty

6.新天鵝堡--《睡美人》

Nearly everyone recognizes the Disney castle; it was first designed as Sleeping Beauty's castle in the 1959 film, and later became as iconic as Mickey Mouse's ears. However, not many people know much about the castle it was based on. The castle was commissioned by the king of Bavaria not only as a private retreat, but also as an homage to the famous composer Richard Wagner. Unfortunately, the king wasn't able to enjoy his masterpiece for very long—he died less than a year after it was completed, and Richard Wagner died long before. Today, the castle is a huge tourist attraction with more than 6,000 visitors per day during the summer.

幾乎每個人都知道迪斯尼城堡；它最初是爲1959年電影裏睡美人的城堡而設計的,和後來成爲像米老鼠的耳朵一樣的標誌。然而,沒有多少人知道該城堡是以什麼爲基礎。城堡是由巴伐利亞國王所建，它不僅是一個私人寓所,更是對著名的作曲家理查德·瓦格納的敬意。不幸的是,國王卻沒能長時間地享受他的傑作——完成該建築不到一年的時間他便逝世了。然而，理查德·瓦格納在很久以前就去世了。如今,這座城堡是一個吸引力巨大的旅遊景點，夏季每天的遊客超過6000人。
