Hi, my name's Kyra and I look after the animals.

嗨，我叫 Kyra，我負責照顧這裡的動物。

Here at Boscobal House and the Royal Oak, we have selected our breeds of animals to represent the Victorian farmyard and make sure it looks as historically accurate as we can.

在 Boscobel House 和 Royal Oak，我們精選了動物品種來代表維多利亞時代的農場，並確保它盡可能地符合歷史。

But the most important aspect of my job is making sure that all of these awesome animals are looked after.

但我工作最重要的部分是確保所有這些超棒的動物都受到妥善照顧。

Why don't you join me and let's go see who we can find.

你們要不要跟我一起，我們去找找看能遇到誰。

Well then, we are here in the pigsty, meeting our Tamworth pigs, Lucy and Charlotte.

好了，我們來到豬圈了，來認識一下我們的 Tamworth pigs，Lucy 和 Charlotte。

Well, that was Lucy who came to visit me here at the gate to greet us.

嗯，剛剛是 Lucy 來到這裡的柵欄邊迎接我們。

Now, she's only two years old, but you know what her favourite thing is?

她才兩歲大，但你知道她最喜歡什麼嗎？

They can digest it because they're very much like humans.

牠們可以消化，因為牠們跟人類很像。

Now, how many of us might have six year old brothers or sisters?

那我們之中，有幾個人可能有六歲的哥哥或姊姊呢？

So they're as clever as your 6 year old brother or sister.

所以牠們跟你們六歲的哥哥姊姊一樣聰明。

So Lucy knows a trick just like a dog does.

所以 Lucy 就像狗狗一樣，也會一招。

I have to make sure these pigs are mucked out every single day.

我得確保這些豬每天都得清理乾淨。

I make sure that they have a breakfast and a dinner and I make sure that their bed is nice and cozy.

我會確保牠們有早餐和晚餐，並且確保牠們的窩很舒適。

We also make sure they have lots of fuss and cuddles as well as all of their medical care is done all by me.

我們也會確保牠們得到很多關愛和擁抱，所有的醫療照護也都是我一手包辦。

So it's a very busy life we have here, isn't it girls?

所以我們的生活非常忙碌，對吧，女孩們？

Now, Stephen is one of our smallest chickens here on site.

現在，Stephen 是我們園區裡最小的雞之一。

They're a Victorian breed of chicken and because they're so small, they only lay very little eggs.

牠們是維多利亞時代的雞種，因為體型很小，所以下的蛋也很少。

They just look super pretty and that was the whole purpose on keeping them.

牠們看起來超級漂亮，這就是飼養牠們的初衷。

If you could have a pretty chicken like this, it meant you had a lot of money.

如果你能養一隻像這樣的漂亮雞，就代表你很有錢。

Now, can you see this bit on top of Stephen's head?

那現在，你們有沒有看到 Stephen 頭頂上的這個地方？

That is called a crown and that is used to show off to all the ladies, to show that he's a lovely, friendly man.

那個叫做「冠」，用來向所有母雞炫耀，表示他是一個可愛、友善的男人。

好了，關於 Stephen 大概就到這裡。

Should we go and meet the other birds on the farm?

我們要不要去認識一下農場裡的其他鳥兒呢？

Well, this is one of Stephen's neighbours.

好了，這是 Stephen 的鄰居之一。

She's named after one of the hobbits from Lords of the Rings.

她是以《魔戒》裡的一位哈比人命名的。

Now this is a bit different to how it would have been in the Victorian times.

現在，這跟維多利亞時代的情況很不一樣了。

You see, Boscobel House used to be a dairy farm, which means we could have had up to 100 cows.

好了，你看，Boscobel House 以前是個乳牛場，也就是說我們本來可以養到一百頭牛。

We always kept Chicken and ducks, though we always needed eggs.

我們一直都有養雞和鴨，因為我們總是需要雞蛋。

Now that you've met some of our birds, let's go and meet another noisy animal.

既然大家認識了我們的一些家禽，那我們就去認識另一種吵鬧的動物吧。

Now, at Boscobel House we keep Ryland sheep and Shropshire sheep.

現在，在 Boscobel House 我們有養 Ryland sheep 和 Shropshire sheep。

這位 Charlie 是我們的 Ryland sheep 之一。

They are used predominantly for their wool.

牠們主要就是為了牠們的羊毛而飼養的。

In fact, Elizabeth I apparently only ever wore socks made of Ryland wool because of how fluffy it is.

事實上，伊莉莎白一世據說因為 Ryland wool 非常蓬鬆，所以她只穿 Ryland wool 做的襪子。

Now, Charlie isn't actually Charlie's real name.

現在，Charlie 其實不是 Charlie 的本名。

He got his name from the famous story about our Royal oak.

牠的名字是取自我們 Royal Oak 的著名故事。

In the 17th century, Boscobar House was a hunting lodge and while Charles II was fleeing from parliamentarian forces, he hid in our tree, which got it the name the Royal Oak.

在十七世紀，Boscobel House 是一間狩獵小屋，當時 Charles II 在逃離國會軍時，就躲在我們的樹裡，這棵樹是以被命名為 Royal Oak。

Over 500 pubs in England are called the Royal Oak because of our tree.

英格蘭有超過 500 間酒吧都叫做 Royal Oak，都是因為我們的這棵樹。

Shropshire sheep are a very, very big breed of sheep.

Shropshire sheep 是非常非常大的品種。

But now it is time for for the star of our show, Max.

不過現在是我們今天的主角 Max 的時間了。

And he would like to show you some of his tricks.

牠想表演一些牠的絕活給你們看。

One of Max's favourite things to do is hang out with his brother Monty in his field and have lots of face scratches.

Max 最喜歡做的事之一，就是跟牠的哥哥 Monty 在牧場裡玩，然後被牠們抓抓臉。

Max 對我來說是一隻非常非常特別的羊。

In fact, he came to us when he was just a little lamb.

其實，牠還是隻小羊羔的時候就來我們這裡了。

Now it's really important here at Poscoval to make sure all of the animals health is kept in order and tip top condition.

在 Poscoval，確保所有動物的健康都維持得很好、狀況絕佳，這點真的非常重要。

But my favorite part of the job is playing with all of the animals and teaching them lots of tricks.

但我最喜歡的工作部分就是跟所有動物玩，還有教牠們很多把戲。

Well, I am absolutely exhausted and totally covered in mud.

嗯，我現在累翻了，全身都是泥巴。

Thank you so much for joining me today at Boscobel House and the Royal Oak.

非常感謝今天跟我一起來到 Boscobel House 和 Royal Oak。
