3.Magdalen Inherits the Castle of Magdalum

When the patrimony was divided, the castle of Magdalum fell by lot to Magdalen. It was a very beautiful building. Magdalen had often gone there with her family when she was a very young child, and she had always entertained a special preference for it. She was only about eleven years old when, with a large household of servants, men and maids, she retired thither and set up a splendid establishment for herself.

3. 玛达肋纳继承了玛格达伦城堡

当遗产被分割时，玛格达伦城堡被抽签落到玛达肋纳名下。那是一座非常漂亮的建筑。玛达肋纳在她很小的时候就经常和家人一起去玛格达伦，她一直对玛格达伦有特别的偏爱。 年仅十一岁左右，带着家里的一大群仆人、男仆和女仆，到玛格达伦度假，为自己修建了一个华丽的场所。

Magdalum was a fortified place, consisting of several castles, public buildings and large squares of groves and gardens. It was eight hours east of Nazareth, about three from Capharnaum, one and a half from Bethsaida toward the south, and about a mile from the Lake of Genesareth. It was built on a slope of the mountain and extended down into the valley which stretches off toward the lake and around its shores. One of those castles belonged to Herod. He possessed a still larger one in the fertile region. Some of his soldiers were stationed in Magdalum, and they contributed their share to the general demoralization. The officers were on intimate terms with Magdalen. There were, besides the troops, about two hundred people in Magdalum, chiefly officials, master builders, and servants.

玛格达伦是一个设防的城池，由几座城堡、公共建筑和大广场的树林和花园组成。它位于纳匝肋以东距纳匝肋有8 小时路程，距葛法翁约 3 小时路程，南距贝特赛达半小时路程，距革乃撒勒湖约 1 英里。它建在山坡上，向下延伸到山谷中，山谷向湖和湖岸延伸。黑落德王在此也有一座城堡，是处在肥沃地带的更大的城堡。黑落德的一些士兵驻扎在玛格达伦，这些士兵普遍道德败坏。军官们与玛达肋纳关系密切。除了军队之外，玛格达伦还有大约两百人，主要是官员、建筑师傅和仆人。

The castle of Magdalum was the highest and most magnificent of all; from its roof one could see across the Sea of Galilee to the opposite shore. Five roads led to Magdalum, and on every one at one half-hour's distance from the well- fortified place, stood a tower built over an arch. It was like a watchtower whence could be seen far into the distance. These towers had no connection with one another; they rose out of a country covered with gardens, fields, and meadows. Magdalen had men servants and maids, fields and herds, but a very disorderly household; all went to rack and ruin. (Vol.1,pp. 336-337)

玛格达伦城堡是最高和最宏伟的。从屋顶可以看到整个加里肋亚海直到对岸。五条路通向玛格达伦，每条路在距城堡设防半小时路程的距离处，都有一座建在拱桥上的塔。它就像一座瞭望塔，从远处可以看到这些塔。这些塔彼此之间没有联系；它们矗立在一个布满花园、田野和草地的乡间。玛达肋纳有男仆和女仆，有田地和牛群，但家庭非常混乱；一切都走向败坏。 （第 1 卷，第 336-337 页）
