The British Museum opened in 1753 and prides itself on remaining free ever since then. The British Museum houses more than an incredible 7 million objects, and it would probably take a week to see everything.[qh]
大英博物馆自1753年开馆以来,一直坚持免费,这也是它引以为傲的地方 。大英博物馆馆藏超过700万件物品,可能要花一星期时间才能全部参观完 。[qh]
Don't be fooled into thinking the British Museum is full of artifacts from old England. No, in days gone by the English were incredible warriors and the British Museum is full of the treasures the soldiers brought back from distant shores. Those treasures include the Rosetta Stone, an Easter Island statue, and the earliest known image of Christ.[qh]
不要以为大英博物馆收藏的都是古代英格兰的物品 。过去的岁月中,英国人可是战士 。大英博物馆馆藏的都是士兵从遥远的地方带回来的战利品,包括罗塞塔石碑,来自复活节岛的雕像,还有耶稣最早的画像 。[qh]
