纪录片《文明》 第57期 自视如何（18）（在线收听）

It's a menacing sight,

这场景气势汹汹

this grey, ghostly remnant of an army,

这灰色鬼魅的军队遗迹

rows and rows of life-sized terracotta soldiers.

一排排真人大小的兵马俑

These figures represent the Imperial Guard of the Emperor Qin.

这些人象征着秦始皇的帝王护卫队

They were buried with him at his funeral

他们与秦始皇一同下葬

and stand guard over his tomb.

站在他的坟墓周围保护他

There were once more than 7,000 of them,

曾经有七千多个兵马俑

but only a fraction have been excavated,

但只有一部分被挖掘出来了

and that alone gives an idea

仅仅是这一部分就可以看出

of the vast scale of this whole complex.

整个工程的宏伟浩大

This is quite simply the biggest tableau of sculpture

这是整个地球上

made anywhere in the planet ever.

最大规模的雕塑群像

Millions come here to be wowed by the sight of the army.

成千上万的人来到这 都被这军队场景震撼
