英情侶因疫情獨享古堡大綱
Couple spend lockdown in castle
英情侶因疫情獨享古堡A young British couple have spent coronavirus lockdown in a medieval castle with a spa, cinema, and 83 guest rooms.
一對年輕的英國夫婦在一座中世紀城堡中度過了新冠疫情封鎖期，城堡裏有水療、影院和83間客房。Laura Jamieson and Michael Smith have been the sole occupants of an 800-year-old five-star hotel, Ashford Castle in Ireland, for nine weeks.
愛爾蘭的阿什福德城堡是擁有800年曆史的五星級酒店，勞拉·傑米森和邁克爾·史密斯是這家城堡酒店九個星期裏僅有的入住者。
They moved into the castle when lockdown began to maintain its buildings and 350-acre estate until the time comes for tourists to be allowed to visit.
他們在封鎖初期搬入城堡，負責建築和350英畝莊園的維修工作，直至這裏重新對遊客開放。
Laura said, "It's been surreal. We've been incredibly fortunate that we were able to have this experience."
勞拉說：“這太不真實了。能有這樣的經歷，我們非常幸運。”But they admitted it's not all as glamorous as it may sound.
但他們也承認，住在這裏並不像聽起來那麼迷人。They are responsible for keeping the massive property clean - vacuuming, flushing 160 toilets and dusting chandeliers.
他們要負責這座巨大莊園的衛生清潔，包含吸塵，沖洗160個廁所，給吊燈除塵等工作。
