点评:Mr. Young," was the estate grieve (manager) for the Erskine family back in the 18th Century. Our tour guide, Colin, took on Mr Young's persona and was dressed accordingly. Colin was outstanding. His knowledge was extensive and he answered every question thrown at him with the ease of someone who thoroughly knows his subject. My wife and I visit the House of Dun grounds regularly, but this tour was a real bonus for us. To me, it was like a trip in to a smaller Downton Abbey and displayed the difference between the upstairs and downstairs entities. Lots of bell rings and hard work for the household staff, especially when carrying numerous buckets of water for the upstairs shower. One point of note was the masculine mirror which is hung in the ladies drawing room. We felt it might be better suited in the gentlemen's smoking room, which was a smaller room; The facade of making the room look a bit larger would also be beneficial to the tourists eye. All in all, Colin made this a really interesting and humorous tour. Thank you, Kate and Keith Morison
翻译:“杨先生”是18世纪时厄斯金家族的庄园管家。我们的导游科林模仿了杨先生的形象,并身着相应服装。科林表现得极为出色:他学识渊博,回答每一个问题时都显得游刃有余,完全是个对本行业了如指掌的行家。我和妻子经常到邓恩庄园的园区内游览,不过这次的导览对我们而言真是一大惊喜。对我而言……这里就像是缩小版的《唐顿庄园》,清晰地展现了楼上与楼下不同人群的生活状态。女仆们忙得不可开交,尤其是要为楼上的浴室运送大量水桶装水。有一点值得留意:在女宾休息室里挂着一面男性风格的镜子。我们觉得把它放在男士吸烟室里可能更合适。那是一个较小的房间;让房间看起来稍大一些的装饰手法对游客的视觉体验也大有帮助。总的来说,科林带大家进行了一次非常有趣且幽默的游览。感谢凯特和基思·莫里森。
