He named it after the legendary King of Crete who appears in Greek mythology by the name of Minos.
他以传说中克里特之王的名字为之命名,在希腊神话里,他的名字叫米诺斯
Well, that's what we see for the first time in the Aegean area on the island of Crete.
在爱琴海地区的,克里特岛上
The same thing is true of Knossos in Crete, and perhaps a few other sites in Crete.
同样的事情也发生在克里特的克诺索斯,或者克里特岛其他地区
When we use the word Minoan we mean the civilization whose home is Crete.
当我们用"米诺斯"这个词语时,就是指出自于克里特的文明
It spread out beyond Crete because the Minoans established what we might want to call an empire in various parts of the Mediterranean, and it starts with Crete.
其所覆盖的区域比克里特岛更广阔,因为米诺斯文明建立了,现在我们所称的"帝国",其疆域分布于地中海的广大地区,它起源于特里克
That is not true for Crete because, although they had a script-- and we have available to us tablets with those writings on them-- to this day no one has deciphered the language written by the Minoans.
不过对于克里特来说不行,因为,虽然他们的确有一些手稿存世...,我们能够看到这些写着字的残片,不过直到今天,没有一个人能破译米诺斯文明的文字
Well, the way we can reason things out from the evidence we have suggests that Greek-speaking peoples came down into the area around the Aegean Sea, perhaps around 2000 B.C., about a thousand years later than the emergence of the Minoan civilization at Crete.
根据现在我们掌握的资料推断,讲希腊语的人群主要集中在爱琴海附近,大概在公元前两千年左右,在米诺斯文明出现在克里特岛大概一千年后
