Stonehenge--Can Anyone
Explain Why It Is There?
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of
n. 圆圈
Britain's most famous historical places but also
大不列颠
one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it
n. 奥秘，神秘事物
receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to
v. 接受，收到
go to this place especially in June as they want to
see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge
n. 历史学家，历史工作者
was a temple where ancient leaders tried to
n. 领导，领袖
communicate with the gods. However, historian
Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because
Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago.
“The leaders arrived in England much later,” he
points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be
a kind of calendar. The large stones were put
together in a certain way. On midsummer’s
n. 仲夏
morning, the sun shines directly into the center of
the stones. Other people believe the stones have a
medical purpose. They think the stones can
adj. 医疗的 n. 目的，目标
prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you
v. 阻止，阻挠
walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet
n. 力量
move up your body,” said one visitor.
No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but
most agree that the position of the stones must be
n. 位置，地方
for a special purpose. Some think it might be a
burial place or a place to honor ancestors. Others
n. 埋葬，安葬 v. 表示敬意 n. 祖宗，祖先
think it was built to celebrate a victory over an
enemy. n. 胜利，成功
n. 敌人，仇人
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of
n. 时期
time. Most historians believe it must be almost
5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is
how it was built because the stones are so big and
heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers
tried to build another Stonehenge, but they
couldn’t . “We don’t really know who built
Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we
might never know, but we do know they must
have been hard-working--and great planners!”
