🧭 罗塞塔石碑🧭 Rosetta Stone

阿禾找到一块刻满字的石碑。同一段话,为什么写三遍?Ahe finds a stone covered with inscriptions. Why was the same message written three ways?

第 1 步:三种文字,两种语言Step 1: Three scripts, two languages

石碑刻有公元前196年的法令。The stone carries a decree from 196 BCE.

Three scripts, two languages
三种文字是圣书体、世俗体和希腊字母。前两种记录古埃及语。第三种记录古希腊语。文字数量不等于语言数量。It uses hieroglyphic, Demotic and Greek scripts. The first two record Egyptian; the third records Greek. Counting scripts is different from counting languages.

第 2 步:对照打开读法Step 2: Comparison enables reading

学者能读希腊语部分。Scholars could read the Greek section.

Comparison enables reading
对照人名和重复内容,提供破译线索。杨与商博良等人参与研究。圣书体既有表意成分,也有表音成分。它不只是图画。Comparing names and repeated content supplied clues. Thomas Young, Jean-François Champollion and others contributed. Hieroglyphic writing combines signs used for meaning and sound. It is not simply a collection of pictures.

第 3 步:证据也有流转史Step 3: Objects have collecting histories

阿禾记录石碑怎样被发现和转移。Ahe records the stone’s movement as well as its text.

Objects have collecting histories
它在1799年被法国军队发现。后来进入英国收藏。破译意义与文物归属,是两个可分别讨论的问题。French troops found it in 1799; it later entered British collections. Its importance for decipherment and questions about ownership are distinct issues that can both be examined.

🎮 三种文字的对照桌🎮 The script comparison desk

先点左边的对象,再点右边对应的含义或功能。配好四组,完成旅行册。Select an object on the left, then its meaning or function on the right. Complete four pairs for the notebook.

一句话记住它:三种文字记录两种语言。Remember: Three scripts record two languages.
三种文字记录两种语言。Three scripts record two languages.破译依靠可对照的内容。Decipherment used comparable texts.文物的流转史也需说明。Explain the object’s provenance too.
