2--Can't we just stop a minute and take a look at these stone beasts and statues?
 
1--Certainly. They're supposed to be sentries standing guard along the approach to the tombs.
 
2--There seem to be four of each kind.
 
1--That's right.
 
2--Whose tomb are we going to see?
 
1--We are going to see Ding Ling，the tomb of the thirteenth Ming emperor,Zhu Yijun.
 
2--When was this tomb excavated?
 
1--Work started  in  May 1956  and was completed the following year.
 
2--Is this tomb the largest of all?
 
1--It's difficult to say. But judging from the comparatively short time it took to complete, it must be one of the smaller ones.
 
2--Have you excavated all the tombs in this area?
 
1--No,I'm afraid not. It's a very hard job.

譯文：
 
1--明十三陵就在前面了。
2--我們停一會(huì)兒，看一下這些石獸、石雕人像好嗎?
1--當(dāng)然可以。據(jù)說他們都是衛(wèi)兵，沿路守衛(wèi)這條通往明陵的道路。
2--看起來每一種有4個(gè)雕塑。
1--對了。
2--我們將去看誰的陵墓?
1--我們將去看定陵，明代的第十三個(gè)皇帝朱詡鈞之墓。
2--這個(gè)陵墓是什么時(shí)間發(fā)掘的?
1--1956年5月工程開始，次年完成的。
2--這是最大的一個(gè)嗎?
1--很難說。但從完工所用這么短的時(shí)間來看，它一定是較小的一個(gè)。
2--你們把這一地區(qū)的陵墓都發(fā)掘了嗎?
1--恐怕還沒有。這是項(xiàng)艱巨的工作。
