点评:The Vanderbilt’s “summer cottage” - The Breakers was a fantastic mansion to visit. We did a two-hour self-guided audio tour of this magnificent home. The house was built during America’s “Gilded Age” period and it shows the power and prestige of the Vanderbilts. The entrance area with the grand staircase was beautiful. We toured the 2nd version of the house since the 1st one was built from wood and burnt down in 1892. The architect was American Richard Morris Hunt. The tour went through many bedrooms, bathrooms, sitting areas, kitchen and grand hallways. The house contained hidden doors that connected bedrooms or favorite places for the Vanderbilt children. The mansion was under re-construction of the chimneys and roof so the photos of the exterior weren’t ideal but the interior photos came out beautiful.
翻译:范德比尔特的“避暑别墅”——The Breakers 是一栋非常值得参观的豪宅。我们参加了一个两小时的自助语音导览,参观了这座宏伟的住宅。这座房子建于美国的“镀金时代”,展现了范德比尔特家族的权力和威望。入口处有大楼梯,非常漂亮。我们参观的是第二版房子,因为第一版是用木头建造的,在 1892 年被烧毁。建筑师是美国人理查德·莫里斯·亨特。参观过程中穿过了许多卧室、浴室、休息区、厨房和走廊。房子里有暗门,可以连接卧室或范德比尔特孩子们最喜欢的地方。这座豪宅正在重建烟囱和屋顶,所以外部的照片不太理想,但内部照片拍得很漂亮。
