Stonehenge: 巨石阵
“As the place where the builders of Stonehenge lived and feasted, Durrington Walls is key to unlocking the story of the wider Stonehenge landscape,” Nick Snashall, the National Trust archaeologist for the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site, said in a statement. Calling the finding an “astonishing discovery,” she said it would “write a whole new chapter in the story of the Stonehenge landscape.”
feast: 宴会、宴请
英国国家信托巨石阵和埃夫伯里世界遗产的考古学家尼克·斯纳萨尔在一份声明中说:“杜灵顿墙是巨石阵的建造者居住和宴会的地方，是解开巨石阵奇观广阔历史的关键。” 她称这一发现是“惊人的发现”，并表示这将“为巨石阵奇观的历史写下一个全新的篇章”。Over the past decade, the ancient site at Stonehenge has been slowly revealing its secrets — as well as details about the lives of those who built it — thanks largely to the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, a partnership among several universities and research institutions that was behind the latest discovery.在过去的十年中，巨石阵古遗址被慢慢揭开神秘面纱，它的建造者的人生细节也被逐渐发掘，这很大程度上要归功于巨石阵隐藏地貌项目，最新的发现是几所大学和研究机构之间的合作的结果。Stonehenge is positioned to align with the sunrise and sunset on the winter and summer solstices. And while the biggest questions about the structure — why was it built, and what purpose did it serve? — have yet to be definitively answered, many experts say it was probably a sacred site that people visited for significant ceremonies, including burials.
