Lady Windermere. Age of Lake Dwellers

温德米尔夫人,湖居者的时代。

ALFRED had a very interesting wife called Lady Windermere (The Lady of the Lake), who was always clothed in the same white frock, and used to go bathing with Sir Launcelot (also of the Lake) and was thus a Bad Queen. It was also in King Arthur’s time that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was published: this was the first English newspaper and had all the news about his victories, and Lady Windermere, and the Cakes, etc.

阿尔弗雷德有一名非常有趣的妻子,被称作温德米尔夫人(湖泊夫人),她总是穿着同一件白色的连衣裙,并常常跟兰斯洛特爵士(也是湖名)一起泡澡,因此被认为是一名坏皇后。也是在阿尔弗雷德的时代,《盎格鲁-撒克逊编年史》出版了,这是第一份英文“报纸”,记录着阿尔弗雷德的战绩、温德米尔夫人,以及烤糊的蛋糕等各式新闻。
