克里特文明,也译作弥诺斯文明或迈诺安文明,是爱琴海地区的古代文明,出现于古希腊,迈锡尼文明之前的青铜时代,约公元前3000年—前1450年。该文明的发展主要集中在克里特岛。“米诺斯”这个名字源于古希腊神话中的克里特国王米诺斯。
很可能最不寻常的就是克里特文明的斗牛。
Perhaps the most unusual of these is the Minoan bull fighting.
克里特文明是爱好和平的:它们的废墟地几乎没有发现军事行动的证据。
The Minoans were peaceful: very little evidence of military activity was found in their ruins.
数千年前在希腊岛屿就发生了这样的一场引发火山的山崩,导致古希腊克里特文明从此消失。
One such volcano-induced landslide occurred thousands of years ago in the Greek islands, causing the Minoan civilization to be wiped from the map.
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
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
