【跟着英剧练发音】The Queens Palaces E01-4

 文本：

In fact, this room is just theatre. The canopy¹ has echoes of a medieval lord's Great Hall. Dotted around are chairs from previous coronations, each one belonging to a different monarch². And then framing the whole thing is this fabulously³ ornate arch, complete with winged Victories holding up swags and medallions. It's like something you might find framing a West End stage.

 

翻译：

这个房间实际是个剧院，华盖上有中世纪主堂的回音，还摆放着历次加冕典礼时使用的椅子。每一把椅子都属于不同的君主，整个装饰的的精华之处，就是这个异常华丽的拱门连同举着花环和大勋章的胜利女神。这种装饰，也许你在伦敦西区也能找到。
