A badger¹ gets credit for finding Roman coins in a cave in northern Spain

一只獾因在西班牙北部的一个洞穴中发现罗马货币而获得荣誉

Transcript²

More than 200 Roman coins — that could date back as far as the 3rd Century AD — have been found in the area so far. Researchers say the discovery is the largest ever in a cave in northern Spain.

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning, I'm A Martinez. Hunger can lead you to some really interesting places. That's especially true for one badger in northern Spain who, last winter, instead of finding bugs³ and berries to eat, uncovered more than 200 Roman coins that could date back as far as the 3rd century. Researchers say the discovery is the largest ever in a cave in northern Spain, showing that you don't need to be an expert or even human to uncover ancient history - just really, really hungry. It's MORNING EDITION.

迄今为止，在该地区发现了200多枚罗马硬币，可追溯到公元3世纪。研究人员说，这是西班牙北部有史以来最大的洞穴发现。

马丁内斯，主持人：

早上好，我是马丁内斯。饥饿可以带你去一些真正有趣的地方。西班牙北部的一只獾尤其如此，去年冬天，他没有找到虫子和浆果来吃，而是发现了200多枚罗马硬币，这些硬币可以追溯到3世纪。研究人员说，这是西班牙北部洞穴中有史以来最大的一次发现，表明你不需要成为专家，甚至不需要成为人类，就可以发现古代历史——只是非常非常饥饿。这是早间版。
