We all wish that we could take classes at Hogwarts with Harry Potter or get the chance to dance with a real Disney prince or princess in their castle. While none of that, sadly, is possible, there are several real sites throughout the world that were either used directly in one of our favorite films or used as a basis for an animated film.

我们都希望我们可以与哈利·波特在霍格沃茨上课或有机会与真正的迪斯尼王子或公主在他们的城堡跳舞。遗憾的是,这都是不可能的。但是,世界上有许多地方直接作为我们喜欢的电影的拍摄地点或者是动画片的拍摄基地。我们可以去这些地方感受参观电影中的场景。

10.Alnwick Castle--Harry Potter

10.艾维克城堡--《哈利·波特》

艾维克城堡--《哈利·波特》

Every kid who has grown up with the Harry Potter book series has dreamed about getting that fated letter and going to Hogwarts. While there are no classes or wand-waving at Alnwick Castle, it is the location where the first two Harry Potter movies—The Sorcerer's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets—were filmed. Visitors may recognize Alnwick Castle's courtyard as the field where the famous first flying lesson takes place.

每一个看着哈利·波特系列丛书长大的孩子都梦想得到命中注定的信并去霍格沃茨学习。尽管在艾维克城堡中没有同学或挥动的魔杖,但是这里却是哈利·波特前两部电影——《哈利波特和魔法石》和《哈利波特与密室》——的拍摄地点。游客可以识别出艾维克城堡的庭院就是上第一节飞行课的地方。
Alnwick Castle has also played a major role throughout history—it was one of the most important locations in the infamous War of the Roses between the houses of York and Lancaster. Specifically, it was one of three major castles that Queen Margaret (who was supported by the Lancastrians) managed to recapture after her husband Henry was forced from his throne by the Yorkists.
艾维克城堡在历史中也发挥了重要作用——它是兰开斯特家族与约克家族之间臭名昭著的玫瑰战争中最重要的一个战场。具体地说,它是三大城堡之一,玛格利特皇后(得到了兰开斯特王朝的拥护) 在她的丈夫亨利被约克王朝支持者逼迫让位之后设法夺回政权的地方。

9.Bourne Wood--Multiple Films

9.Bourne Wood--多部电影

Bourne Wood--多部电影

Bourne Wood is one of the most iconic areas for filming, and dozens of movies have used this forest for their scenes. Not only is it where the opening battle scene for the famous movie Gladiator was filmed, it was also used in movies such as The Golden Compass, Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, and Captain America. Besides its prestige in the film industry, Bourne Wood is also an important area environmentally—it's home to several rare animal species.

Bourne Wood是最具标志性的电影拍摄地区之一,许多电影用这片森林作为它们的场景。它不仅是著名电影《角斗士》开放战斗场景的拍摄地点,它也曾被用于电影《金色罗盘》、《哈利波特与混血王子》、《哈利波特与死亡圣器》和《美国队长》。除了在电影行业名声大噪外, Bourne Wood也是一个重要的保护区——它是一些稀有动物的栖息地。
Conservationists have raised serious concerns about the risks the movie industry poses to the forest and its inhabitants, especially the explosions and other loud noises that disrupt not only the animals, but also the people living around the woods. Recently, limitations have been proposed to only allow filming to take place six months out of the year, and night filming has been limited to seven days per year.
环保主义者提出了电影工业对森林和栖居其中的动物产生了严重危害的担忧,尤其是爆炸和其他噪音不仅打扰了动物,还有生活在树林周围里的人。最近,已经提出限制每年只允许在此拍摄6个月,并且晚上拍摄每年最多7天。

8.Doune Castle--Monty Python And The Holy Grail

8.杜恩城堡--《巨蟒和圣杯》

杜恩城堡--《巨蟒和圣杯》

When the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail was shot, this castle was used for not one, but several different castles throughout the story, from the location of the infamous wedding scene to the lair of the man-eating rabbit. Doune Castle has also had a variety of uses throughout history, from a royal retreat used by figures such as Mary Queen Of Scots to a literal prison used to house dissenters against the throne. It also served as a garrison used by the Scottish army against Oliver Cromwell.

当电影《巨蟒和圣杯》取景时, 从臭名昭著的婚礼现场到杀人兔的洞穴,不仅仅只有杜恩城堡一个城堡,而是多个城堡贯穿整个故事。纵观历史,杜恩城堡也有许多用处,从像苏格兰玛丽女王一样的大人物的皇家寓所到用来拘留王权反对者的政治监狱。它还是苏格兰军队对抗奥利弗·克伦威尔的战略要地。
However, the castle was not always an effective prison, and there are accounts of enemy soldiers escaping by tying together bedsheets and simply climbing out the window. This makes the scene with Lancelot and the effeminate prince who attempts to escape out the window even more hilarious. Today, Doune Castle is under the highest level of protection for heritage buildings in Scotland.
然而,城堡并不总是很好的监狱,许多敌兵把床单系在一起,简简单单地就可以爬出窗外逃跑。这使得兰斯洛特和柔弱的王子试图逃出窗外的场景更加搞笑。现在,杜恩城堡正处于苏格兰古建筑最高水平的保护之下。

7.Mentmore Towers--Batman Begins

7.蒙特摩尔塔楼--《蝙蝠侠:侠影之谜》

蒙特摩尔塔楼--《蝙蝠侠:侠影之谜》

Recently, superhero movies have become a lot darker and grittier than they used to be—just check out The Amazing Spiderman and Man of Steel for examples. However, there is one superhero that's always been the dark horse of the comic world. Batman is not only one of the coolest superheroes out there, he also has one of the coolest bases. But while Wayne Manor is undoubtedly awesome, its real-life counterpart, Mentmore Towers, has its own fascinating history.

最近,超级英雄电影比以往更加黑暗和残酷——仅以超凡蜘蛛侠和钢铁之躯为例便可以看出。然而,一直有一个超级英雄是漫画世界的黑马。蝙蝠侠不仅是最酷的超级英雄,他也有一个最酷的拍摄基地。虽然韦恩庄园无疑是可怕的,然而它现实生活中对应的地方,蒙特摩尔塔楼,却有着引人入胜的历史。
The towers were actually created by Joseph Paxton (the creator of the world famous Crystal Palace) for the Baron Mayer de Rothschild. However, it had a much more important purpose during World War II—the British government chose Mentmore specifically to protect many of their national artworks. One of the most important treasures was the Gold State Coach, which has been used at the coronation of every British monarch since George IV.
实际上,楼塔是由约瑟夫·帕克斯顿(世界著名水晶宫的创建者)为梅尔罗斯柴尔德男爵所建。然而,在第一次世界大战期间它有一个更重要的目的——英国政府专门选择蒙特摩尔来保护他们的许多国家艺术品。其中最重要的一件是黄金马车,自从乔治四世以来,每位英国君主在加冕仪式上都要乘坐黄金马车。

6.Neuschwanstein Castle--Sleeping Beauty

6.新天鹅堡--《睡美人》

新天鹅堡--《睡美人》

Nearly everyone recognizes the Disney castle; it was first designed as Sleeping Beauty's castle in the 1959 film, and later became as iconic as Mickey Mouse's ears. However, not many people know much about the castle it was based on. The castle was commissioned by the king of Bavaria not only as a private retreat, but also as an homage to the famous composer Richard Wagner. Unfortunately, the king wasn't able to enjoy his masterpiece for very long—he died less than a year after it was completed, and Richard Wagner died long before. Today, the castle is a huge tourist attraction with more than 6,000 visitors per day during the summer.

几乎每个人都知道迪斯尼城堡;它最初是为1959年电影里睡美人的城堡而设计的,和后来成为像米老鼠的耳朵一样的标志。然而,没有多少人知道该城堡是以什么为基础。城堡是由巴伐利亚国王所建,它不仅是一个私人寓所,更是对著名的作曲家理查德·瓦格纳的敬意。不幸的是,国王却没能长时间地享受他的杰作——完成该建筑不到一年的时间他便逝世了。然而,理查德·瓦格纳在很久以前就去世了。如今,这座城堡是一个吸引力巨大的旅游景点,夏季每天的游客超过6000人。
