本课您将学到：drive（强迫、驱使），date back to=date from（追溯） 你知道吗？被誉为世界第九大奇迹的三星堆遗址，原来是农民锄地偶得。 Accidental discoveries have often opened the door to beauty and wonder. The rock paintings in France that date back 15,000 years, for example, were discovered by two boys who were looking for shelter（避难所） from the rain. Or, the Sanxingdui Ruins（三星堆遗址）, known by historians（历史学家） as the Ninth Wonder of the World, were discovered in Sichuan Province by a farmer. In the spring of 1929, Yan Qingbao, then a 43-year-old farmer, discovered a circular（圆形的） piece of jade（玉） while digging a hole. Driven by curiosity（好奇心）, he dug deeper and found a group of about 400 colorful jade pieces. Since then, more than 10,000 relics（残片）, dating back to between 5,000 and 3,000 BC have been unearthed（发掘） at Sanxingdui. But still, only four of the Sanxingdui Ruins 12 square kilometers have been uncovered（开发）. Who knows what other big surprises are waiting to be shown to the world? 「读书笔记」 accident是指意外事故，而意想不到就可以表示为by accident. 比如：I met her quite by accident.我见到她真是意外。形容词accidental意思就是偶然的、意外的。 |
