Chaucer is a really interesting author. I studied 'The Miller's Tale' in A-level English (aged 17 / 18), and loved the bawdy X-rated story that was smuggled in via weird medieval English. For a different perspective on another of Chaucer's characters, I also recommend…
…somehow uniquely lascivious, I know they have not read any popular late-medieval or Renaissance literature. Anyone who has read Boccaccio's Decameron or even parts of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, such as the Miller's Tale, is purged of any imagined celibate medieval period. Sex is not new, which means humans have been doing it (!), thinking about it, and talking/writing about it for a long time.

In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales there is a smith in the Miller's Tale, who worked on farming equipment: plow harness, shares, and coulters. (Unless my Middle English is more forgotten than I thought.)

乔叟真是一个非常有意思的作家。我在考 A-level 英语时（大概 17、18 岁）学过《磨坊主的故事》（The Miller's Tale），超爱借由怪异的中世纪英语偷渡过来的下流限制级故事。想从不同视角了解乔叟笔下的另一个人物，我还推荐……

……某种独一无二的淫荡，我就知道他们根本没读过任何中世纪晚期或文艺复兴时期的流行文学。任何读过薄伽丘《十日谈》甚至乔叟《坎特伯雷故事集》部分篇章（比如《磨坊主的故事》）的人，脑海中幻想的中世纪禁欲形象都会被击得粉碎。性从来都不是什么新鲜事，这意味着人类早就一直在啪啪啪（！）、琢磨这事儿，并且公开谈论/记录它了。

在乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》里，《磨坊主的故事》中有一个铁匠，负责修农具：犁具、犁头和切土刀。（除非我的中古英语忘得比我想象的还要干净。）
