A bunkhouse is a simple building where workers sleep, often many people in one room, on bunks — narrow beds, sometimes one above another. You meet it in stories about farms, ranches, camps, and old work sites, especially in American English. It is not a hotel and not a family home. Nobody expects comfort; it is a place to lie down after hard work. Though actually, some holiday ranches now call a cabin a bunkhouse to make it sound rustic on purpose. The older meaning is still workers' sleeping quarters, not a guest room.
工寮;工人睡的簡陋宿舍(多人、床鋪常是上下舖)
