Mummies Are Real!
Narrator: Do you like scary stories about ghosts, monsters and mummies?
Narrator: Of course, you do! You can see mummies in comics, video games and
movies! 你應該有看過木乃伊的電影吧? In the movies, mummies are like monsters.
They have bandages all over their bodies. They usually walk slowly and chase
people. 電影裡面的木乃伊有點像殭屍。對吧?
Well, I have a true story to tell you about real mummies! Yes, there really
are mummies in the world. But they aren’t like the scary ones in the
movies.其實是真的有木乃伊但不像電影那麼可怕
A lot of real mummies have been found in Egypt over the years. And recently,
30 were found!
Female: Oh no! Mummies! Run away!
Narrator: Don’t worry. These mummies may be real, but real ones can’t hurt
you.
People found these mummies by digging in the ground. Imagine finding 30
mummies! That would be so exciting, right? 如果一次挖到30個木乃伊會很刺激吧
Female : Don’t open the coffins! Isn’t that bad luck???
Narrator: No! Of course, not! 木乃伊的詛咒不是真的啦。They are just dead
people wrapped up in bandages, not monsters. These real mummies are about
2,400 years old. That’s over 2,000 years old! They can’t walk or hurt you.
That only happens in the movies and in stories.
Now, here’s something that’s very interesting. People think there are even
more mummies buried in the ground.
Isn’t history fun? 歷史是很有趣的 Maybe you’ll get a chance to visit
Egypt.你會想去埃及嗎? If you do, you’ll love the many old, old buildings. And
if you see a mummy or two in a museum, don’t worry.
在博物館看到木乃伊其實不用擔心的They can’t hurt you!
