 Dialogue:

JJ:Hey, Xiao Gao.Are you sporting a new look? I noticed you have an earring1 in your ear. We should try to be more professionalat work, you know?
京晶:小高,你弄了个新造型吗?我注意到你耳朵上多了个耳环。我们的着装在工作场合应该更专业一些,你不觉得吗?
XG:Don’t worry. I will take it off right now. It is just a magnet,anyway.
小高:没关系,我这就拿下来。再说了,不就是块磁铁吗?
JJ:Oh, you could have fooled me. It looked so real. Hey, do you have any tattoos3?
京晶:噢,差点被你骗了,这玩意看上去也太真了吧!对了,你有纹身吗?
XG:No Idon’t, but my sister has had a lotof ink done. I am not a big fan of tattoos, myself. But did you know that the history of tattoos and piercings around the world is more than skin deep?
小高:我没有,不过我姐纹了不少。我不是纹身粉。可是你知道在世界范围内,纹身和打洞的历史可真不是两三句能说完的。
JJ:Yeah! The first tattoo2 known to man was found on the body of an Iceman in 1991. He dates back to over 4000B.C. His body had over 58 total tattoos, mostly of dots and lines. Scientists theorize that these tattoos were a part of a medical or spiritual healing process.
京晶:第一个在肉体上纹身的人是1991年发现的一具冰人干尸,其身份大概可以追溯到公元前4000年,他的身体有超过58处纹身,大多数是圆点及线条图案。科学家们从理论上证明这些图案是医疗或精神治疗的一部分。
XG:The early era of tattooing4 was especially painful. The first tools were made of bone,stone, or wood. The earliest kinds of tattoos were tribal5 tattoos.Different cultural tribes had different designs.
小高:早期的纹身非常疼痛。那时会使用骨、石、木作为纹身工具,而纹身的雏形则来源于部落的图案标记,不同文化的人类部落有着不同的设计。
JJ:That’sright. And Polynesian tattooing was one of the most original and artistic6 forms of ancient tattoos. The Polynesian people would add more and more tattoos to themselves until their body was completely covered.
京晶:没错,而波利尼西亚人的纹身却是最原始的、最具艺术感的古代纹身之一,这些波利尼西亚人会不停地给身体增加纹身以至于全身都被图案覆盖。
XG:Mexicans tattooed7 their idols8 and gods on their skin. And in Japan, tattooing was mainly a punishment. Back inthe day, if you were a criminal, then you would get a mark on your forehead. If you were convicted of three or more crimes, then the Japanese would tattoo the symbol for “dog” on your forehead.
小高:墨西哥人把他们尊崇的偶像和神刻在皮肤上。而在日本,纹身却主要是一种惩罚的形式。早前,人们在罪犯的额头上做上记号,如果背有三至四项罪名,日本人就会把狗的标记刻在犯人的额头上。
JJ:Nowadays,people get tattoos for personal meaning. Some people tattoo the names of loved ones who have passed away. Others get tattoos as a sign of rebellion. Whatever the case, there is no one unified9 reason why people get tattoos.
京晶:如今,人们纹身都是为了个性表达。有的人把去世的爱人的名字纹在身上,有的人把纹身视作一种叛逆的象征,无论如何,人们纹身已经不再有统一的理由。
XG:Well,let’s finish our conversation on Wednesday about body piercings. I bet it is just as interesting!
小高:好吧,今天先聊到这,周三我们再说说给身体打洞的文化,我打赌这话题同样有趣。
JJ:Okay, see you then!
京晶:好,周三见!
