Speaking from the Grave
地府之言 |
 |
|
Two students, Beth and Carl, are talking about the red-haired
mummies.
...
|
 |
兩個學生貝絲和卡爾正在討論有關紅髮木乃伊的事。
|
|
 |
|
|
Beth：Can you imagine what it was like 4,000 years ago?
Beth：...
|
|
貝絲：你能想像四千年前是什麼樣子嗎？
|
|
|
|
Carl：That's hard to imagine. But if the mummies could speak,
they could certainly tell us a great deal.Carl：...
|
|
卡爾：很難想像。但是如果那些木乃伊能夠說話的話，他們一定能夠告訴我們很多事。
|
|
|
|
Beth：Well, that, of course, is impossible. But scientists can
tell a lot from the things the explorers found.
Beth：...
|
|
貝絲：不過，那當然是不可能的。但是科學家可以從探險家找到的東西告訴我們許多。
|
|
|
|
Carl：I know. For example, they think the 4000-year-old mummies
were Celts.
Carl：... |
|
卡爾：我知道。比如說，他們認為有四千年歷史的木乃伊是塞爾特人。
|
|
|
|
Beth：Who were the Celts ?
Beth：...
|
|
貝絲：塞爾特人是誰啊？
|
|
|
|
Carl：They were an ancient European people who settled in
Britain even before the Romans existed.
Carl：...
|
|
卡爾：他們是古時候早在羅馬人出現前就定居於大不列顛島的歐洲民族。
|
|
|
|
Beth：Wow! That's amazing ! Beth： ...
|
|
貝絲：哇！真是令人驚異！
|
|
|
|
Carl：So you see, although mummies don't really speak, they are
"speaking" from their graves.
Carl：...
|
|
卡爾：所以妳看，雖然木乃伊不會真的說話，他們卻會從他們的墳墓『說話』。
|
|
|
|
Beth：Stop it! You're giving me the creeps! Beth： ...
|
|
貝絲：別說了！你害我毛骨悚然！
