  2017考研英语拓展阅读:BBC对中国兵马俑的报道系断章取义

  A Chinese archaeologist recently refuted a BBC report about northwest China’s Terracotta Warriors, saying that the article has quoted her out of context and overstated her remarks about Western influence on the 8,000 life-sized figures.

  近日,一名中国考古学家反驳了BBC关于中国西北部兵马俑的一篇报道,该名考古学家说,文章在引用她的话时断章取义,夸大了她关于8000个真人比例雕像受到西方影响的言论。

  The BBC report, released October 12, said archaeologists have found that inspiration for the Terracotta Warriors, found at the Tomb of the First Emperor near today’s Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, may have come from Ancient Greece.

  这篇10月12日发表的BBC报道称,考古学家们发现,在靠近今天陕西西安发现的,秦始皇陵墓中的兵马俑的创作灵感,可能来自古希腊。

  The article quoted Li Xiuzhen, senior archaeologist from the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Site Museum, as saying, "We now think the Terracotta Army, the acrobats and the bronze sculptures found on site were inspired by ancient Greek sculptures and art."

  文章引述秦始皇陵遗址博物馆资深考古学家李秀珍的话:“现在,我们认为遗址中发现的兵马俑,杂技演员和青铜雕塑受古希腊雕塑和艺术的启发。”

  Li, however, said that the BBC quoted her out of context, as the article ignored much of what she told BBC reporters.

  然而,李说,BBC引述她的话时断章取义,文章忽略了很多她告诉BBC记者的话。

  "I think the terracotta warriors may be inspired by Western culture, but were uniquely made by the Chinese. BBC overstated my remarks about Western inspiration and ignored main points I made during the interview," Li told Xinhua.

  李告诉新华社:“我觉得兵马俑可能受到西方文化的启发,但是是中国人独创的。BBC夸大了我关于西方启发的言论,忽略了我在采访中主要的观点。”

  Li said the local nature and cultural environment, such as soil, craftsmen and traditional funeral culture, all contributed to the creation of the Terracotta Warriors.

  李说,当地的自然和人文环境,比如土壤,工匠和传统的殉葬文化,都对兵马俑的创作有贡献。

  She also pointed out that the article put her quotes right before those of Professor Lukas Nickel from the University of Vienna, whose opinion is contrary to her own, but makes it seem as if they share the same idea.

  她还指出,文章把她的引述放在来自维也纳大学的卢卡斯教授他们前面,他的观点和她的相悖,这样一弄,显得和他的想法一样了。

  According to the article, Prof. Nickel said, "I imagine that a Greek sculptor may have been at the site to train the locals."

  据文章,卢卡斯教授说:“我觉得一名希腊雕塑家可能在现场训练当地人。”

  "I am an archaeologist, and I value evidence. I’ve found no Greek names on the backs of Terracotta Warriors, which supports my idea that there was no Greek artisan training the local sculptors," Li said.

  李说:“我是一名考古学家,我重视证据。在兵马俑的背部,我没发现希腊人的名字,这支持了我的观点,没有希腊艺术家在训练当地雕塑家。”
