參考譯文
不久之前，在愛(ài)琴海的基亞島上，考古工作者有一項有趣的發(fā)現。一個(gè)美國考古隊在阿伊亞·依里尼海角的一座古城里考察了一座廟宇。這座古城肯定一度很繁榮，因為它曾享有高度的文明，房子一般有3層樓高，用石塊修建。里面房間很大，墻壁裝飾華麗。城里甚至還敷設了排水系統，因為在狹窄的街道底下發(fā)現了許許多多陶土制作的排水管道。
考古工作者考察的這座廟宇從公元前15世紀直至羅馬時(shí)代一直是祭祀祈禱的場(chǎng)所。在廟中最神圣的一間殿堂里發(fā)現了15尊陶制雕像的碎片。每一尊雕像代表一位女神，而且一度上過(guò)色。其中有一尊雕像，她的軀體是在公元前15世紀的歷史文物中發(fā)現的，而她那身首異處的腦袋卻碰巧是在公元前5世紀的文物中找到的。她的腦袋一定是在古希臘羅馬時(shí)代就為人所發(fā)現，并受到了精心的保護。即使在當時(shí)，它也屬歷史悠久的珍奇之物�？脊殴ぷ髡甙堰@些碎片重新拼裝起來(lái)后，驚奇地發(fā)現那位女神原來(lái)是一位相貌十分摩登的女郎。她身高3英尺，雙手叉腰，身穿一條拖地長(cháng)裙，盡管上了年紀，但體態(tài)確實(shí)優(yōu)美。不過(guò)，考古工作者至今未能確定這位女神的身份。
