Time for the shoutout.

“大喊”时间到了。

Which of these landmarks would you find in Salisbury Plain?

在索尔兹伯里平原你会发现哪个地标建筑?

If you think you know it, shout it out. Is it: (a), Ayers Rock, (b), Half Dome, (c), Giant`s Causeway, or (d), Stonehenge?

如果你以为你知道,就大声喊出来。是:(a)艾尔斯巨石(b)半圆顶(c)巨人堤道(d)巨石阵?

You`ve got three seconds. Go!

你有三秒钟。开始吧!

Salisbury Plain is outside of Salisbury, England, and that`s the home of Stonehenge. That`s your answer and that`s your shoutout.

索尔兹伯里平原位于英格兰外的索尔兹伯里,巨车阵坐落于此。这就是你的答案,你的大喊。

It`s one of those most famous monuments in the world. Archaeologists believe Stonehenge was built between the years 3000 and 1520 B.C. It appears to have been a cemetery at one point, though no one knows for sure who built Stonehenge and why.

巨石阵世界上最著名的纪遗迹之一。考古学家认为,巨车阵始建于公元前3000年到1520年。人们似乎一度认为巨石阵是一个墓地,尽管没人确切知道谁建造了它以及为什么建造它。

Theories have described it as a temple, a meeting place, a monument for predicting eclipses. Those theories are being tested and new ones born thanks to a remarkable find not far away.

理论上人们将它描述成一个寺庙,一个会议场所,一个预测日食的遗迹。这些理论正在被验证,新的理论随着不远处的惊人发现而产生。

It takes your breath away. People from all over travel to see Stonehenge. Its construction and its purpose remaining mystery, thousands of years old.

巨石阵美的让你无法呼吸。人们从各地赶来游览巨石阵。几千年来其建造和目的一直是个迷。

And now, we`re learning that just two miles away from here, a discovery so extraordinary experts are calling it archaeology on steroids.

现在,在距巨石阵2英里的地方,有一个令人惊奇的发现,专家称之为“开挂的”古迹。

Scientists used ground-penetrating radar technology to make the discovery. They found at least 40 stone slabs in spaces for at least 160 more.

科学家们采用探地雷达技术进行探测。他们至少发现40块石板,其空间足以容纳160块。

It`s incredible to be here, knowing that beneath my feet, the remnants of an ancient monument 15 times the size of Stonehenge.

在我脚下有一座比巨石阵还大15倍的古迹,真是太不可思议了。

The National Trust`s Nick Snashall says the new find rewrites the history of the area.

国民托管组织的尼克斯纳歇尔表示,新的发现将改写该区域的历史。
