Tour Guide: We're now standing in front of Tamsui's oldest historical site, Fort Antonio. Man: Excuse me, Lisa, but my guidebook says it's called Fort San Domingo. Tour Guide: That's a common mistake. Fort San Domingo was the name of a fort built on this site in 1628 by the Spanish, but it was later destroyed when the Dutch expelled them. Man: I see. But if it was destroyed, what are these buildings, then? Tour Guide: That's a good question. In 1643, the Dutch started to build a fort of their own here called Fort Antonio, which they controlled until they were ousted by the Chinese. Man: That red brick building over there doesn't look like it was built in the 1600s. Tour Guide: You're right. In 1867, the British took over the fort and used it as a trade consulate. That red brick building was built as the consular residence. Man: Can we go inside? Tour Guide: Yes, the old British consular residence is now a museum. Let's go inside and take a look, shall we?
導遊：我們現在站在淡水最古老的古蹟即紅毛城前面。 男子：不好意思，麗莎，但我的旅遊指南上面說，它的名稱是聖多明哥城。 導遊：那是常見的誤解。聖多明哥城是西班牙人在1628 年於此地所建的城堡名稱。但是，後來荷蘭人把西班牙人趕走時，城堡被毀。 男子：原來如此。但如果它被摧毀了，那麼，這些建築是什麼？ 導遊：這是個好問題。1643 年，荷蘭人在這裡開始興建他們自己的城堡，稱為安東尼堡，他們控制此地，直到被中國人驅逐。 男子：那邊那棟紅磚建築物看起來不像建於十七世紀。 導遊：你說得沒錯。1867 年，英國人接管城堡，作為領事館之用，並興建那棟紅磚樓作為領事的官邸。 男子：我們可以去裡面嗎？ 導遊：可以，舊英國領事官邸現在是博物館。讓我們進去看一看，好嗎？ |
