例如,在前古典时期的希腊,人们通过前后移动日期来“修正”官方日历,以反映季节的变化。
In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people "corrected" official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season.
上届奥运会古老的希腊在没有移动通讯的条件下表现完美,而且对于体育迷而言这一不足可能并不意味着什么。
The ancient Greeks managed perfectly well without mobile phones, and this singular failure will probably not matter much to sports fans.
但是如果按照严格的词源学——希腊语中‘auto’意为“自己”,拉丁语的“mobilis”意为“移动的”,那么骑式双轮车可算是第一辆自动车。
But under the strictest etymology - the Greek auto means "self" and the Latin mobilis means "mobile" - the riding car was the first automobile.
