One: A handout picture released by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities on Sept. 9 showing an Egyptian laborer looking at mummies arranged beside a broken sarcophagus at a newly uncovered ancient tomb. The tomb was for a goldsmith dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun, and was located in the Draa Abul Naga necropolis on the west bank of the ancient city of Luxor, which boasts ancient Egyptian temples and burial grounds.
Two: An Egyptian archaeologist restores a wooden sarcophagus at a newly uncovered ancient tomb on Sept. 9. The tomb was for a royal goldsmith named Amenemhat, whose work was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun. The finds at the tomb, which dates back to the New Kingdom (16th to 11th centuries BC), when Amun was the most powerful deity, also included a sculpture carved into a recess of Amenemhat, seated beside his wife, with a portrait of their son painted between them. There were also another 150 small funerary statues carved in wood, clay and limestone.
Three: Skulls and bone remains lie next to a wooden sarcophagus at a newly uncovered ancient tomb for a goldsmith dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun in this picture taken on Sept. 9. A burial shaft in the tomb led to a chamber where the archaeologists discovered mummies, funerary statues and masks. Another shaft led to a chamber where three more mummies, of a woman and two children, were found.

Earthquakes are among the most terrifying natural disasters, generating massive tremors and destructive forces as Earth’s crust shudders. These tremors not only lead to the collapse of buildings but can also trigger secondary disasters, such as tsunamis and fires. However, we can mitigate the impact on lives and property by mastering earthquake response techniques. The DCH three-step strategy, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is crucial during an earthquake. “D” stands for “drop.” You should immediately drop to the ground, using your hands and knees to support yourself. This position prevents you from falling and

「避免新冠病毒傳播」英文該怎麼說？是 to prevent the spread of Novel Coronavirus 還是 to prevent Novel Coronavirus from spreading?「避免○○○傳播」，在台灣，多數人喜歡說 to prevent something from spreading，但英文的習慣則是 to prevent the spread of something。 若用Google搜尋，可得到底下統計： “to prevent novel coronavirus from spreading” About 7 results (Google Feb. 12, 2020) “to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus” About 46,000 results 可見 to prevent the spread of something 才是道地的英文句型。2003至2004 年，禽流感在東亞多國嚴重爆發。此後，為避免禽流感傳播，台北捷運開始在各站入口立了以下標示： 為避免禽流感傳播，禁止鳥禽類動物進入車站。 To prevent bird flu virus from spreading, do not carry poultry and birds into the station. 其實，「避免禽流感傳播」，宜翻譯成 to prevent the spread of avian flu 才符合英文習慣。此外，中文的「鳥」與「禽」是兩種不同的概念，養來吃的鳥類動物叫「禽」，不稱為「鳥」；但英文的poultry 一詞，也屬於 bird 的範疇，並非中文中並列的概念。以下為聯合國糧食與農業組織對poultry 的介紹： Poultry are domesticated avian species that can be raised for eggs, meat and/or feathers. The term “poultry”covers a wide
