(貴族的)祖 宅


Explanation:
seat = a short British name for country seat = a large country house and estate belonging to an aristocratic family.

His family seat, Highclere Castle, has since achieved notability as the primary filming location for the television series ‘Downton Abbey’.

由於 Highclere Castle 是 Earl Carnarvon 家族的 family seat, 所以建议翻译为:

( xxx 贵 族 的) 祖 宅

供参考。




Example sentence(s):
  • He was the epitome of the cockney wide boy but what a shock to the system of his new found well-to-do relatives when he inherited a <u>country seat</u> and peerage.
