从Merriam-Webster Visual Dictionary找到的这张图算是很清楚的城堡部位图
解。以下挑出书里常出现的讲解。
moat是护城河,drawbrige是可以升起放下跨过护城河的桥。gatehouse、
guardhouse是门口的大楼,barbican是守望楼,守护大门一带的区域。Keep是城
堡的主楼,bailey或ward都是指前庭、内庭,gatehouse的大门通常是升降闸门
叫做portcullis,上方有孔洞可以往下面来攻击的敌人倒下热油,那个孔洞叫
murder hole。城墙四周的尖塔是turret,墙壁上有供弓箭手射箭出去的小洞叫
crenel (垛口)。锯齿状的城墙上层总称battlement,锯齿状的部分叫parapet
(城垛),城垛高起的部分叫merlon (城齿)。城堡的边门叫postern。外围的防御
壁垒叫做rampart。某些城堡更外围还有木制栅栏palisade。管理城堡的堡主是
castellan。
书中常提到的一种城堡型式叫做Motte and Bailey土垒内庭式的城堡。像是下图
的英国温莎堡就是土垒内庭式城堡。中央有一个圆型的keep在土垒 (motte) 上,
左右有两区bailey。

冰与火例句:
From its window, she could see that the heavy iron
portcullis
in the
gatehouse was down, and the
drawbridge drawn up
over the deep dry
moat that separated the
keep-within-a-keep
from the larger castle that surrounded it. (A Game of Thrones)
He had never thought to find a stone castle on the far side of the Wall,
but he had pictured some sort of
motte-and-bailey with a wooden
palisade and a timber tower
keep. (A Clash of Kings)
A small castle dominated the town; no more than a holdfast, really, a
single tall square
keep with a
bailey and a curtain wall.
(A Storm of Swords)
She was about to say as much when she saw the
battlements ahead,
long
parapets built into the very stone of the mountains on
either side of them. (A Game of Thrones)
The
battlements bristled with spears and swords and scorpions,
there was an archer at every
crenel and arrow slit, the
drawbridge
was up, the
portcullis down, the gates closed and barred.
(A Game of Thrones)
And above it all, frowning down from Aegon’s high hill, was the Red
Keep; seven huge drum-towers crowned with iron
ramparts, an immense
grim
barbican, vaulted halls and covered bridges, barracks and
dungeons and granaries, massive curtain walls studded with archers'
nests, all fashioned of pale red stone. (A Game of Thrones)
Its great curtain wall was a hundred feet high, unbroken by arrow slit
or
postern, everywhere rounded, curving, smooth, its stones fit so
cunningly together that nowhere was crevice nor angle nor gap by which
the wind might enter. (A Clash of Kings)
He swept the flame low before him, looking for . . . there.
On the inside of the
rampart and in the wide
crenel between two
upthrust
merlons. (A Clash of Kings)
The
castellan at Winterfell is a brave man, but age has stiffened
his wits as well as his limbs. (A Clash of Kings)
