文字稿
St Fagans National Museum of History might be just off the M4 (motorway) near Cardiff but it is a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of 21st Century life.
雖然圣法根就位于卡迪夫附近的 M4 高速公路旁,但它與 21 世紀(jì)喧鬧嘈雜的生活相去甚遠(yuǎn)。
Set in 100 acres of parkland, it is home to over 50 relocated, re-erected historic Welsh buildings that act as time capsules, revealing the cultural and social history of the country - from an Iron Age farmstead to a 1940s prefab bungalow.
這所博物館坐落于 100 英畝的綠地上,聚集了 50 多個(gè)經(jīng)過(guò)搬遷及重建的威爾士歷史建筑,這些建筑把具有時(shí)代特征的文物凝聚、定格,展現(xiàn)了威爾士地區(qū)的文化和社會(huì)史 —— 從鐵器時(shí)代的農(nóng)舍到四十年代的活動(dòng)平房。
The Museum of the Year panel was particularly impressed by the approach St Fagans took to its recently completed £30M redevelopment, which involved collaborating with many thousands of visitors and volunteers to create what the judges described as: “one of the most welcoming and engaging museums anywhere in the UK.”
