🏕️ THE 21ST CENTURY CAVEMAN

In 2007, Angelo Mastropietro was in the woods in Worcestershire, UK when it started to rain. He looked for a place to keep dry and he discovered a cave house! The cave house was 800 years old. People lived in the rock-house for hundreds of years, but from about 1962, no one lived there and the house stayed empty.2007年，安杰洛·马斯特罗彼得罗在英国伍斯特郡的树林里，天开始下雨。他找地方躲雨时发现了一座洞穴屋！这座洞穴屋已有800年历史。人们在岩石屋中生活了几百年，但大约从1962年起，就没人居住，房子一直空着。

Angelo liked the rock-house very much. He looked into the possibility of buying it. It was for sale and in 2010 he decided to get it. After that, he started to cut into the rock and to rebuild and modernise the house.安杰洛非常喜欢这座石屋。他研究购买的可能性。房子正在出售，2010年他决定买下。之后他开始凿石、重建并现代化这座房子。

Angelo (who is English, even though his name is Italian) finished the house in nine months. He was a businessman before he started the house, and before 2007 he was quite ill, so he wanted a place where it was possible for him to live in a happy and healthy way. He realised that he didn’t need to live in a huge apartment and that being closer to nature could help him feel better.安杰洛（虽是意大利名字，但他是英国人）九个月后完成了房子。开工前他曾是商人，2007年前他病得不轻，所以想找一个能让他快乐健康生活的地方。他意识到自己不需要住大公寓，更亲近自然能让他感觉更好。

He worked for over a thousand hours from beginning to end, and he used £160,000 to buy the house and all the things that he needed. He planned everything himself, he moved about 80 tons of rock himself and he painted the house. Angelo tried to make a comfortable place to live. The house has electricity, hot water and wi-fi, and there is heating under the floors of the rooms. Angelo opened a deep hole 80 metres under the house to get natural water.他前后工作超过一千小时，花费16万英镑买下房子和所有所需。他亲自规划一切，自己搬运了约80吨岩石，并粉刷了房子。安杰洛努力打造舒适的居所。房子有电、热水、无线网，房间地板下有供暖。安杰洛在房子地下80米深处挖了一口深井获取天然水。

The house is not huge. It is about 65 m², with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. Angelo doesn’t live there all the time, but he uses the house as a place to go to sometimes, to get away from his busy city life. It’s also possible to rent the house and to stay there for a weekend or more. This means that other people are able to enjoy Angelo’s happy house and maybe escape from their busy lives for a few days, too.房子不大，约65平方米，有一间卧室、客厅、厨房和带淋浴的浴室。安杰洛不常住在那里，只是偶尔去那里，远离繁忙的城市生活。房子也可出租，供人们度周末或更久。这意味着其他人也能享受安杰洛的幸福小屋，也许暂时逃离忙碌的生活几天。
