Jay: What was their life like before the White people came?
杰伊:在欧洲人来澳大利亚大陆之前,这些原住民的生活是怎么样的?
Emma: It is difficult to describe the detailed life of them. But according to modern study on the aboriginal culture, the traditional Australian aborigines lived a nomadic life, following the seasons and the food.
埃玛:很难描述具体的生活是怎么样的。不过根据现在对原住民的文化研究,传统的原住民像游牧人一样生活,随季节和食物四处流浪。
Jay: Wow! That must be very cool.
杰伊:哇!这样真的很酷啊。
Emma: Actually not. It is possible that the first aborigines in Australia hunted the Australia kangaroos and wombat for food.
埃玛:实际上并不是的。最初的澳大利亚原住民很有可能以猎食澳大利亚袋鼠和树熊为生。
Jay: Where did they live?
杰伊:那他们住在哪里呢?
Emma: When at rest aborigines lived in open camps, caves or simple structures made from bark, leaves or the vegetation.
埃玛:他们休息的时候会席地而营、住在洞穴里,或者是住在用树皮、树叶或其他植物做的东西里面。
Jay: I know. I believe they must have a very self-reliant and happy life.
杰伊:我知道了。我相信他们的生活一定很自给自足,很快乐。
