《白金汉宫5》歌词:
[00:03.270]This is the River Tyburn.
[00:05.036]And now it's channelled through this great Victorian sewer,
[00:08.916]but it still follows its ancient course,
[00:11.245]right beneath Buckingham Palace.
[00:13.926]And it provides a fascinating glimpse into the past,
[00:17.229]because this river made the land above boggy and marshy,
[00:22.379]with pools of smelly, stagnant water.
[00:26.555]Not exactly what you'd call prime royal real estate.
[00:30.459]Until one king decided it might be useful after all.
[00:37.758]Henry VIII, who came to the throne in 1509,
[00:41.164]was a man passionate about the chase, for women and deer.
[00:50.468]For Henry,
[00:51.080]the swampy land on the banks of the river Tyburn was perfect for hunting.

[00:03.270]这就是泰班河
[00:05.036]现在已经改建成维多利亚风格的下水道
[00:08.916]但仍沿用古老的河道
[00:11.245]就在白金汉宫的地下
[00:13.926]它也向我们提供了窥探过去的神奇一瞥
[00:17.229]这条河周边曾是沼泽地
[00:22.379]一汪死水,臭气熏天
[00:26.555]你也可以认为这就是皇室不动产的雏形
[00:30.459]直到有个国王决定利用它
[00:37.758]亨利八世,于1509继承皇位
[00:41.164]他是一位热衷于女人和狩猎的国王
[00:50.468]对亨利来说,
[00:51.080]泰班河两岸的沼泽是绝佳的狩猎之处。
