[00:00.648] | And with tribal manufacture came trade. |
[00:04.498] | The warriors, druid priests and artists of Iron Age Britain shipped their wares all over Europe. |
[00:11.055] | Trading with the expanding Roman Empire. |
[00:14.152] | In return, with no home-grown grapes or olives. |
[00:17.629] | Mediterranean wine and oil arrived in large earthenware jars. |
[00:27.714] | So Iron Age Britain was definitely not the back of beyond. |
[00:31.407] | Its tribes may all have led lives separated from each other by custom and language. |
[00:36.106] | And they may have had no great capital city, but taken together they added up to something in the world, the bustling of countless productive, energetic beehives |
[00:46.190] | What the bees made was not honey, but gold. |
[00:52.816] | So the Romans would have known all about this strange but alluring world of fat cattle and busy forgers. |
[00:59.554] | Evidence of its refinement would certainly have found its way to Rome. |
[01:07.574] | But along with the glittering metal ware came stories of alarming cults. |
[01:07.974] | Which might have prompted the usual Roman dinner time discussions. |
[01:11.922] | But all very interesting, I dare say, but would we really want to call them a civilisation? |
[01:33.517] | Supposing they would have seen an ancient sculpture, like this haunting stone face with its archaic secretive smile。 |
[01:42.898] | The eyes closed as if in some mysterious devotional trance. |
[01:47.010] | The nose flattened, the che,eks broad. |
[01:49.148] | The whole thing so spellbindingly reminiscent of things the Romans must have seen in Etruria or around the Greek islands., |
[01:57.077] | Would they then have said, "Yes, this is a work of art"? |

[00:00.648] | 随着部落制造业的繁荣,贸易随之兴起。 |
[00:04.498] | 铁器时代不列颠的士兵,德鲁伊祭司和艺术家,将其商品大量运往欧洲。 |
[00:11.055] | 倾销至不断膨胀的罗马帝国市场。 |
[00:14.152] | 换回的是本地不出产的葡萄或橄榄。 |
[00:17.629] | 巨大陶器装满的葡萄酒和橄榄油源源运来。 |
[00:27.714] | 因此,铁器时代的不列颠绝非蛮夷之地。 |
[00:31.407] | 或许碍于语言与习俗,部落间相互隔绝不相往来。 |
[00:36.106] | .亦或许他们不曾拥有繁荣的首都,但整体来说,也为世界文明贡献了力量。 |
[00:46.190] | 正如一个个熙攘而充满活力的蜂房,不过他们所酿绝非蜂蜜,而是黄金。 |
[00:52.816] | 罗马人对这个家畜成群,工场繁忙的陌生而诱人地方。 |
[00:59.554] | 肯定有所听闻这里文明的制品,肯定也早就行销。 |
[01:07.574] | 罗马,但随着闪亮金属制品而来的,是可怖的邪教。 |
[01:07.974] | 这些也成为了罗马人饭后的谈资。 |
[01:11.922] | 我想这的确都很有趣,但我们真的能称之为文明吗? |
[01:33.517] | 假设他们看到了一尊远古雕塑,像这张令人难忘的古老而神秘的笑脸。 |
[01:42.898] | 双目紧闭,仿佛正在虔诚地祷告。 |
[01:47.010] | 鼻梁平塌,面颊宽阔。 |
[01:49.148] | 通体与罗马人在伊特鲁利亚和希腊诸岛所见的艺术珍品神形俱似 |
[01:57.077] | 他们是否会颔首称道"这确是艺术珍品"呢? |
