第1959期:Important new finds in the ancient city of Pompeii

Dig anywhere in Pompeii and you'll uncover an ancient treasure, a snapshot of a lost Roman world. Most of those who lived in the city probably escaped the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but what they left behind is still being unearthed 2,000 years later.不论在庞贝古城的何处挖掘，你都能发现古老的宝藏，庞贝就像是失落的罗马世界的一个缩影。当时，这座城市的大多数居民可能躲过了维苏威火山的爆发，但他们遗留在身后的物品直到2000年后的今天仍在陆续被发掘出土。The new discoveries from this excavation include a huge oven, capable of producing 100 loaves a day, a shrine to make offerings to the gods that's decorated with snakes, and a bed reduced to ashes in a fire. There are skeletons too – three individuals crushed under falling masonry.这次新挖掘出的发现物包括一台每天能烤制100条面包的大型烤箱，一个用于供奉神明的神龛，上面装饰着蛇的形象，以及一张在火焰中化为灰烬的床。一同出土的还有被落下的砖石压住的三个人的骨架遗骸。The archaeologists plan to erect a walkway, so tourists can see what's going on. It will prove popular. This is the dig that recently revealed a fresco, depicting a bread meal that looked like it might be a forerunner of pizza.考古学家们计划在公园内搭建一条走道，这样游客就可以沿走道参观挖掘工程。这个新设计将大受欢迎，因为在这次挖掘中发现了一幅湿壁画，画中描绘了一顿配有面包的菜肴，面包看上去可能是披萨饼的原型。词汇表snapshot 快照，照片eruption 爆发unearthed 被发掘出土excavation 挖掘工作shrine 神龛masonry （建筑用的）砖，石walkway 走道，人行道fresco 湿壁画
