[00:04.41]第83課 電視日:偉大的考古發(fā)現(xiàn)
[00:08.83]In 1992 a British archaeologist, Howard Carter,
[00:12.37]1922年英國考古學(xué)家霍華德.卡特
[00:15.91]was working in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
[00:18.16]在埃及的國王谷工作.
[00:20.40]One day he asked his labourers to pull down a small hut which was in his way.
[00:23.44]有一天,他叫工人把一間擋道的小屋推倒.
[00:26.49]Carter noticed some steps beneath the hut and asked his men to clear them.
[00:29.53]卡特看見小屋下有幾個(gè)臺階,就叫工人清掃干凈.
[00:32.57]The steps led to a stone wall and Carter told his men to cut through it,
[00:35.93]臺階通往一堵石頭墻.卡特叫工人把墻打穿,
[00:39.29]but to take care not to disturb anything that might be behind it.
[00:42.19]但要小心別把墻后可能有的東西給弄亂了.
[00:45.09]There was a passage behind the wall which led to yet another wall.
[00:47.88]墻后有條通道,它通向另一堵墻.
[00:50.68]They cut through this one very carefully
[00:52.77]他們小心翼翼地打穿了這堵墻,
[00:54.86]and suddenly came into a room full of household furniture and treasure.
[00:58.00]眼前突然出現(xiàn)一間堆滿家具和財(cái)寶的房間.
[01:01.15]Carter spent several months making a list of every article in the room.
[01:04.05]卡特花了幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間把房間里每一件物品全登記入冊.
[01:06.95]When he had finished,he decided to cut through the opposite wall.
[01:09.80]完成以后又決定打開對面的墻.
[01:12.65]Then he found another room full of priceless objects.
[01:15.00]這時(shí)他發(fā)現(xiàn)了另一個(gè)房間堆滿無價(jià)之寶,
[01:17.35]He noticed two black wooden statues which looked like guards
[01:20.95]還發(fā)現(xiàn)了2個(gè)黑色木雕看上去像衛(wèi)士
[01:24.56]and he made a hole in the wall between them.
[01:26.71]他在這2個(gè)雕像中間的那扇墻上打了個(gè)洞.
[01:28.87]Here he found three wooden chests which fitted inside each other
[01:32.32]在那兒他發(fā)現(xiàn)3個(gè)套在一起的木箱,
[01:35.76]and finally a fourth chest which was,in fact,a coffin
[01:38.72]最后又發(fā)現(xiàn)了第4個(gè)木箱.那實(shí)際上是口棺材.
[01:41.67]Carter had discovered the tomb ofTutankhamen,
[01:44.12]卡特發(fā)現(xiàn)了圖頓卡曼的陵墓
[01:46.58]an Egyptian King who lived more than 3000 years ago.
[01:49.58]他是生活在3000多年前的埃及國王.
[01:52.59]On the tomb there was a wreath of wild flowers.
[01:55.33]陵墓上有只用野花編成的花圈.
