第2723期:Archaeologists pieced together Roman wall fragments

Piecing together thousands of fragments of 2,000-year-old plaster has been the ultimate archaeological jigsaw puzzle, but stunning frescoes have emerged.将数千块两千年前的灰泥碎片拼接在一起是一个终极的考古拼图挑战，不过好在这幅拼图向人们展现出了令人惊叹的壁画。The lower wall sections are pale pink and dotted with paint to imitate marble. Above them are bright yellow panels with soft green borders with beautifully drawn details of musical instruments, birds, flowers and fruit.较低的墙壁部分是淡粉色的，上面点缀着仿大理石的颜料。在它们上方的部分是明亮的黄色镶嵌板，并配有柔和的绿色边框，其中精美地绘制了乐器、鸟类、花卉和水果等装饰细节。The frescoes make up at least 20 walls of a luxurious villa, which was built soon after the Romans first founded London. And there are clues about who painted them. Some fragments are scored with the letters F, E, C, I, T – the Latin word for 'has made this'. But the piece where the name should be is missing. The archaeologists are still sifting through the fragments to see if it could be amongst them.这些壁画装饰了这座豪华别墅的至少 20 面墙壁，这栋别墅建于罗马人建立伦敦城后不久。对于壁画的创作者是谁，考古学家们已经有了一些线索。部分碎片上刻着 “F”、“E”、“C”、“I”、“T” 这几个字母，这些字母组成了拉丁语中表达 “由……制作” 的单词。但本应该刻有画师姓名的那块碎片却找不到了。考古学家们仍在碎片中仔细翻找，以确认那块带有署名的碎片是否还在其中。
