質問: 日本語訳を!c9-1 お願いします! have you ever learned a new word,a word you are sure you have never seen before? but after you learn it,this brand-new word suddenly pops up everywhere-in english and history books,on tv,on the radio,and on billboards,until you feel as though it is following you around? the discovery of the indus valley civilizations in the 1920s worked a little bit like that,too.archaeologists looking at sites that dated around 2000 bce everywhere from mesopotamia to oman to central asia began noticing little clues left here and there by members of the previously unknown indus valley civilization. in mesopotamia,for example,archaeologists dug up the tomb of queen puabi of ur.unlike the practical harappans,who buried their dead with a few meaningful ornaments and some pottery but kept most of their things for the living to use,mesopotamian burials were extravagant.in the case of queen puabi,for example,more than 20 servants,including armed guards and musicians,went with her into her grave.her clothing and jewelry and those of her attendants were decorated with copper,carnelian,and lapis lazuli beads and shell inlay-even though mesopotamia did not have copper miner or sources for the precious stones and shell.she was also buried with a sled and other wooden furniture-even though mesopotamia did not have large trees for lumber.so where on earth did the copper,beads,wood,and shell inlay come from? this inscription on a tablet was the first clue.according to the records the mesopotamians kept,these goods came from a land called meluhha.the reat mesopotamian king sargon boasted that traders from all over came to his city,calked agade: the ships from meluhha, the ships from magan, the ships from dilmun he made tie-up alongside the quay of agade.
回答: ☆sayshe です。訂正です。 第1段落最後、 >メソポタミアからオマーンそして中央アジアにかけて至る所で紀元前2000年頃に始まった文明の遺跡を調べている考古学者は、それまで知られていなかったインダス渓谷文明の人々によってあちこちに残された手掛かりがほとんど無いことに気づき始めました。 の部分を、 メソポタミアからオマーンそして中央アジアにかけての至る所で紀元前2000年頃に始まった文明の遺跡を調べている考古学者は、それまで知られていなかったインダス渓谷文明の人々によってあちこちに残された小さな手掛かりに気づき始めました。 に変更します。失礼しました。 ☆ところで、chiyotomo さんの訳もかなりしましたね。タイプミスは、比較的少ないので助かります。この歴史書は面白いですよ。
