there's been a medieval castle under construction in France.

在法國一直有一個正在建造的中世紀城堡。

The builders and designers here are using plans and techniques

這裡的建築商和設計師正在使用計劃和技術

that are as historically accurate to the 13th century as possible.

Guédelon Castle is experimental archeology and a tourist attraction.

Guédelon城堡是實驗性考古學和旅遊景點。

they're now helping with the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral.

他們現在正在幫助重建巴黎聖母院大教堂。

But I'm here for one very specific piece of technology

但我在這裡是為了一項非常具體的技術

out of the anachronistic fiction of Astérix or the Flintstones.

從Astérix或Flintstones的不合時宜的小說中走出來。

而這是歷史上真實存在的事情。

Now I'm not an archeologist or a historian

現在我不是一個考古學家或歷史學家

so I'm going to let someone tell you about this place, and about this crane,

所以我要讓別人告訴你這個地方，以及這個起重機的情況。

- So when we say we're building a medieval castle,

- 是以，當我們說我們正在建造一箇中世紀的城堡。

about which period of the Middle Ages we're interested in.

關於我們對中世紀的哪個時期感興趣。

So we've narrowed down our area of interest

是以，我們已經縮小了我們感興趣的領域

To be even more precise, when we laid the first stone

更準確地說，當我們鋪設第一塊石頭時

and each year we move forward in history.

而每一年我們都在歷史上向前邁進。

So this year on site, you are in the year of our lord 1253.

所以今年在現場，你是在我們的主1253年。

So in order to find out what technology was available at that time,

是以，為了瞭解當時有哪些技術。

We use illuminated manuscripts, stained glass windows, financial records.

我們使用帶照明的手稿、彩色玻璃窗、財務記錄。

Of course we work with archeologists, art historians, and castellologists.

當然，我們與考古學家、藝術史學家和城堡學家一起工作。

And so we've got all that information together

是以，我們已經把所有這些資訊放在一起

in order to decide how the castle should be built.

sometimes these skills have never been lost,

and we have to then revive them from scratch.

而我們必須從頭開始恢復它們。

The castle itself will be finished in about another 10 years.

城堡本身將在大約另外10年內完成。

So we're taking about 35 years in all to finish the castle

是以，我們總共需要大約35年的時間來完成城堡。

which is a really long time compared to the Middle Ages.

與中世紀相比，這確實是一個很長的時間。

Because one of the reasons that we're building this castle

因為我們建造這座城堡的原因之一是

So half the time my colleagues are putting down their tools

是以，我的同事們有一半的時間都在放下他們的工具

in order to explain the work we're doing.

- So here we are at the single drum winch.

- 是以，我們現在是在單滾筒絞車上。

- 好的，所以這需要放在上面。

- We can provide the tower with those rocks, so we can build it.

- 我們可以為塔提供這些岩石，所以我們可以建造它。

- We might say that we're building a 13th century castle

- 我們可以說，我們正在建造一個13世紀的城堡

but in terms of health and safety we're clearly in the 21st century.

但在健康和安全方面，我們顯然已經進入了21世紀。

所以你會在現場看到不合時宜的情況。

steel toe capped shoes, protective eyewear,

masks when we're working with the sandstone from the quarry.

當我們用採石場的砂岩工作時，面具。

All the scaffolding is heavily reinforced.

所有的腳手架都經過了大量的加固。

So obviously we're not trying to discover

是以，很明顯，我們不是在試圖發現

how many people were killed or injured in the 13th century.

在13世紀有多少人被殺或受傷。

- The castle that we're building here today

to a low ranking local fairly modest nobleman.

到一個低級別的地方相當謙虛的貴族。

It's essentially being built as a private home

它基本上是作為一個私人住宅來建造的

but there will be defensive elements within the castle.

there'll be murder holes, arrow loops, crenelated walling.

And all of this even though there's very little chance

that the castle would've been attacked in the middle of the 13th century

these features are still in place. You never know.

這些特徵仍然存在。你永遠不知道。

- There's not any fancy modern pulleys or anything like that, it's just--

- 沒有任何花哨的現代滑輪或類似的東西，它只是... ...

- Diameter of this versus diameter of this.

- 這個的直徑與這個的直徑相比。

- Yes. It's like if you were making a effort of five flights of stairs.

- 是的。這就像你在做一個五層樓梯的努力。

So if you are walking 10 meters, it's one meter up.

是以，如果你走了10米，就是一米了。

- 這就像一個巨大的齒輪，基本上。

- So we have a couple of single drummed cranes

- 是以，我們有幾臺單鼓式吊車

and we also have a double drummed tread wheel winch.

而且我們還有一個雙鼓式踏輪絞車。

And the advantage of that particular piece of machinery

So that allows us to hoist loads up from the quarry

是以，這使我們能夠將貨物從採石場吊上來。

and place it exactly where we need it on the masonry.

並把它準確地放在我們需要的磚石上。

we can hoist somewhere in the region of 500 kilos,

我們可以吊起大約500公斤的東西。

well, there's one person working so it's half,

嗯，有一個人在工作，所以是一半。

- 所以我打算舉起200公斤的東西。

- Safety is obviously paramount when we're using this machinery.

- 當我們使用這種機器時，安全顯然是最重要的。

So we have someone who's responsible for applying the brakes.

所以我們有一個負責踩剎車的人。

of spinning round like in a washing machine.

We have someone who's at the base, responsible for charging the cradle.

我們有一個人在基地，負責為搖籃充電。

And then one person who is in charge of the whole operation

keeping an eye on how far the walkers still have to walk.

密切關注步行者還需要走多遠。

Because of course when you're in the machine

因為當然，當你在機器裡的時候
