I'm a gardener here at Osbourne and I'm going to be your tour guide around the grounds today.

我是 Osbourne 的園丁，今天將帶大家參觀園區。

情態副詞

The wall garden was originally for the Blatchford family to produce vegetables for the house.

這個牆邊花園最初是為 Blatchford 家族種植蔬菜供家庭使用。

Size of the wall garden is about an acre, so it wasn't big enough for Victoria and Albert and all of their children.

牆邊花園大約一英畝，對 Victoria 和 Albert 以及他們所有孩子來說不夠大。

So instead they decided to turn it into a cut flower garden and a small tree nursery for Albert.

所以他們決定將它改建成切花花園，以及為 Albert 建立一個小型樹苗圃。

The wall garden as we have it today is taken back to when Queen Victoria was here.

我們今天看到的牆邊花園是回到維多利亞女王時期。

So she would have had cut flowers in here as opposed to vegetables, but

所以她會有切花而不是蔬菜，但是

she would have also had fruit, which we've got trained over arches and up against the walls.

她也會有水果，我們將水果種植在棚架上和牆邊。

As you walk around walled garden, be sure to brush up against all the lavenders and smell the Pelargonians in the glass house.

當你們走在牆邊花園時，記得去聞聞薰衣草，並在溫室裡聞聞 Pelargonians 的香味。

During the wars, the terraces were mostly grassed over.

戰爭期間，露臺大多鋪滿了草。

So in recent years we've uncovered where the original beds were using watercolors and photos, and

所以在近幾年，我們利用水彩畫和照片，重新發現了原本的花床位置，

now we plant them up in the same Victorian style that Queen Victoria would have enjoyed.

現在我們以維多利亞女王當年喜愛的維多利亞時期風格來種植。

And this is one of the first plants we're going to be putting into the bedding scheme.

這是我們要種植在花壇裡的第一批植物之一。

They typically bloom from the end of June all the way to October.

它們通常從六月下旬一直開到十月。

One of the key features on the terraces is the palm tree behind me.

露臺區的一個主要特色是我身後的棕櫚樹。

It was originally planted by Queen Victoria in 1851 that sadly died 20 years ago, but

這棵樹是維多利亞女王在 1851 年種下的，可惜在 20 年前就枯死了，但是

was replanted by Queen Elizabeth in 2004.

於 2004 年由伊莉莎白女王重新種植。

As you walk around the terraces, you'll notice myrtle growing up against the walls.

當您漫步在露臺區時，會注意到牆邊長著 myrtle。

This was originally given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert's grandmother.

這原本是阿爾伯特親王的祖母送給維多利亞女王的。

The myrtle represents good fertility and good luck.

A sprig of osborne myrtle is being used in every royal wedding bouquet since Princess Vicky got married.

自從維琪公主結婚以來，每場皇室婚禮的花束都會使用一枝 osborne myrtle。

One of the first things Albert planted on the terraces were these Magnolia grandifloras.

阿爾伯特在露臺區種植的第一批植物之一就是這些木蘭花。

它們大約是在 170 年前種下的。

As you're enjoying them, be sure to listen out to the trickling of the fountain next to it.

在欣賞它們的同時，別忘了聽聽旁邊噴泉的流水聲。

Here at Swiss Cottage, Albert had nine plots made up, one for each of the children.

在瑞士小屋這裡，阿爾伯特為九個孩子各準備了一塊地。

Each plot had about 14 beds in which the children grew cut flowers, vegetables and fruits.

每一塊地有大約 14 個花圃，孩子們在那裡種植切花、蔬菜和水果。

The reason for Albert doing this is so the children could sell the produce back to him to learn about commerce and also to learn the value of hard work.

阿爾伯特這麼做是因為孩子們可以把這些農產品賣給他，藉此學習商業知識，同時也學習辛勤工作的價值。

Although records are sparse, we do know the children grew strawberries, gooseberries and raspberries, which we still grow to this day.

雖然紀錄不多，但我們知道孩子們種植了草莓、醋栗和覆盆子，這些到現在我們都還有種植。

Swiss Cottage and the gardens around it were built in a clearing within the woodland.

瑞士小屋和周圍的花園建在林地的一塊空地上。

So as you walk around, you should be able to hear the birds.

所以當你們走動時，應該能聽到鳥叫聲。

We're going to head down through the valley to the beach.

這只是我們典型場地的一部分。

Check to see if there's any fallen trees.

Something that sets Osborne apart is we've also got a private beach.

Osbourne 的一個特色是我們還有一個私人海灘。

So as the visitors walk down through the valley, the first thing they'll experience is the sound of the lapping waves as the beach then reveals itself.

所以當遊客沿著山谷走下來時，他們首先會體驗到海浪拍打的聲音，接著海灘就會映入眼簾。

This is actually the first place Queen Victoria swam in the sea, and

這其實是維多利亞女王第一次在海裡游泳的地方，而且

her bathing machine is still here for visitors to see.

她的沐浴車還在這裡供遊客參觀。

With over 350 acres, there's plenty more to explore.

這裡有超過 350 英畝的土地，還有更多地方等著您去探索。
