People often spire to build castles when they " barbican" .

当人们“巴比肯”时，他们常常用尖顶建造城堡。

" Fire" ! a voice screamed down from atop the barbican. " My lords, there's smoke in the city. Flea Bottom's afire" .

" 火！" 城墙上一声尖叫。" 大人们，城里失火了！跳蚤窝燃起来了！"

Here the medieval bridge that crossed the  castle ditch to the barbican was converted into a carponier containing this little beauty.

在这里，横跨城堡沟渠通往碉堡的中世纪桥梁被改建成了一座堡垒，里面关着这座美丽的小楼。

So, the defenders repaired the barbican but it was reached not by a  bridge as it had been but by... a tunnel.

因此，守军修复了碉堡，但不是通过原来的桥梁到达，而是通过… … 一条隧道。

At the Siege of Dover in 1216, Prince Louis of France used both two tactics together to assault the castle gateway, allowing his forces to pour through an opening, take the barbican and kill its commander.

在 1216 年的多佛围攻战中，法国的路易斯王子使用了两种战术去攻打通往城堡的要道，他命令军队在一开始就集中火力，攻下城堡并杀了他们的指挥官。

The medieval tunnel to the  barbican, renamed the Spur, was transformed by incorporating all sorts of  tricks and traps including remotely-closing doors and falling doors so that the enemy  could be trapped if they managed to break in.

通往碉堡的中世纪隧道被重新命名为“Spur”，里面加入了各种各样的诡计和陷阱，包括遥控关闭的门和落下的门，这样如果敌人设法闯入，他们就会被困住。
