96. Speaking from the Grave
坟墓里对话
Two students, Beth and Carl, are talking about the red-haired mummies.
两个学生贝丝和卡尔正在讨论有关红发木乃伊的事。
B: Can you imagine what it was like 4,000 years ago?
贝丝：你能想象4000年前是什么样子吗？
C: That's hard to imagine. But if the mummies could speak, they could certainly tell us a great deal.
卡尔：很难想象。但是如果那些木乃伊能够说话的话，他们一定能告诉我们很多事。
B: Well, that, of course, is impossible. But scientists can tell a lot from the things the explorers found.
贝丝：嗯，那当然是不可能的。但是科学家可以从探险家找到的东西告诉我们许多。
C: I know. For example, they think the 4000-year-old mummies were Celts.
卡尔：我知道。比如说，他们认为有4000年历史的木乃伊是赛尔特人。
B: Who were the Celts?
贝丝：赛尔特人是谁呀？
C: They were ancient European people who settled in Britain even before the Romans existed.
卡尔：他们是古时候早在罗马人出现以前就定居于大不列颠岛的欧洲民族。
B: Wow! That's amazing!
贝丝：哇！真实令人惊异。
C: So you see, although mummies don't really speak, they are "speaking" from their graves.
卡尔：所以你看，虽然木乃伊不会真的说话，他们却会从他们的坟墓里“说话”。
B: Stop it! you're giving me the creeps!
贝丝：别说了！你让我毛骨悚然！
