文本：
Almost certainly, he didn't mean it as an impermeable 1 barrier against barbarian 2 onslaught from the north. The wall was studded with milecastles and turrets 3 and forts like this one at Housesteads. But as Britain settled down in the second century AD, these places became up-country hill stations more like social centres and business centres than really grim, heavily-manned barracks.
译文：
当然，他从未有意将此作为抵御北方蛮族侵袭的坚实战壕。长城上设有众多烽火台、炮塔，以及类似豪斯戴斯的堡。但当不列颠人于公元二世纪在此定居，这些地方便成为了远离喧嚣的避暑胜地，更像是社交与商业的中心，而非重兵驻扎的军营所在。
1 impermeable
adj.不能透过的，不渗透的
