标题

Cycladic figure

基克拉迪雕像

第1句

The isolated position of the Cycladic islands in the Aegean Sea meant that Cycladic culture developed traditions that remained unchanged for centuries.

爱琴海的基克拉迪群岛置身茫茫大海中，这意味着这一文化中发展出来的传统数百年来未曾变化过。

第2句

An example of this is the characteristic Cycladic marble figurine, produced for hundreds of years.

其中一个例子便是图中这个基克拉迪特色的大理石雕像，它已经有几百岁了。

第3句

It is not known why the figurines were made or who they represented.

目前尚不清楚这些雕像制作的原因及它们象征的对象。

第4句

The form of these figurines is reduced to a few key components; facial features and other details were often originally painted on.

这些雕像极为简练，只有人类的关键器官；面部特征和其他细节往往都是最初画上去的。

第5句

This example is of a man of the ‘hunter-warrior’ type.

图中这个属于“猎人-武士”型雕像。

第6句

It is carved with a diagonal shoulder strap and a belt, with its right arm folded across the waist and the left across the chest.

雕像戴着一条斜着的肩带和腰带，其右手环腰，左手抚胸。

第7句

Remarkably, it is possible to make out the ghosts of painted eyes on the face.

值得一提的是，雕像的脸上依然可以依稀辨认出雕琢过眼睛的痕迹。

【原文中 ghost 使用了复数形式，不过按照语境，这里的 ghost 应该用单数，使用时请自行斟酌。】
