[《泰晤士报》2007年8月11日]在古老的土壤里埋葬两千年的中国兵马俑终于要西行了。1974年,几个中国农民在西安城外掘井时,发现了些许泥塑人俑的碎片。当他们进一步挖掘,井的底端消失在一个巨大的地下深坑中。如果当初掘井的位置稍微偏离几米,世界第八大奇迹就将继续掩埋于地下,而今天的大英博物馆,也不会修葺一 [The Times, August 11, 2007] Chinese terracotta warriors and horses, buried in ancient soil for two thousand years, are finally going west. In 1974, when a few Chinese peasants dug outside the city of Xi’an, they found a few fragments of clay figurines. As they dig further, the bottom of the well disappears into a huge underground pit. If the location of the original well was slightly off a few meters, the eighth wonder of the world will continue to be buried underground, and today’s British Museum will not be repaired
