No, I didn’t. To be honest, Sophie, I thought Walt Disney had written them.
这个我不知道。老实说，我之前以为是沃特迪斯尼创作了这些童话。
Oh Neil… well research suggests that some fairy tales date back to well before the brothers Grimm and even Shakespeare.Let’s hear more from Dr Jamie Tehrani, anthropologist at Durham University in the UK.
天啊，尼尔。研究显示一些童话故事可以追溯到格林兄弟甚至莎士比亚之前。我们听听英国杜伦大学人类学者Jamie Tehrani教授的采访。
So these fairy tales that we’ve looked at– we’ve been able to trace back, really, thousands of years– probably sort of 4-6,000 years is the origin of many famous European folk tales, stories such as Beauty and the Beast.
我们看到的一些童话故事，我们其实可以追溯到几千年前，像许多很有名的欧洲民间故事，例如《美女和野兽》,可以追溯到四至六千年前。
What, 6,000 years?!
什么？六千年前？
Yep, going right back to the Bronze Age.
没错，可以直接追溯至铜器时代。
Good heavens!
我的天啊！
We’ve been able to trace the transmission across generations of these stories much further back than is generally recognized.
我们追溯这些代代相传的故事起源，发现远远早于之前人们的认识。
But Sophie – if there’s no written evidence of the stories from 6,000 years agohow does Dr Tehrani, who we’ve just heard from, know people were telling them?
但是苏菲，如果六千年前还没有文字记载的证据，那刚才讲话的Jamie Tehrani博士是如何得知人们在当时讲述了这些故事呢？
Well, dating languages isn’t something I’m familiar with– I think it’s a bit like looking at a few dinosaur bones and trying to reconstruct what dinosaurs looked like.But here you’re trying to reconstruct stories without any actual bits. It must have been hard work for the researchers.
追溯语言起源这可不是我的强项，我觉得有可能像看着恐龙的骨头还原恐龙的样子吧。但是我们如今想要再现的是没有任何实际依据的故事。这对研究者来说是一项艰难的研究吧。
Indeed. Well, I think it’s time to hear the quiz question again, Sophie.
没错。我觉得是时候公布问题的答案了吧。
OK, I asked: Which movie star played the role of the evil fairy in Maleficent, a film based on the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty?Was it… a) Cate Blanchett? b) Angelina Jolie? Or c) Meryl Streep?
好的，我之前问：在改编自童话故事睡美人的电影《沉睡魔咒》中，哪位电影明星饰演了邪恶仙女？a) 凯特布兰切特?b)安吉丽娜朱莉?还是 c) 梅丽尔斯特里普?
I said Cate Blanchett.
我选的是a) 凯特布兰切特。
And you were wrong. Angelina Jolie played the main character in the film Maleficent.Cate Blanchett played the elf queen Galadriel in Lord of the Rings.And Meryl Streep played a blue-haired witch in the 2014 film Into the Woods.
你答错了。安吉丽娜朱莉是《沉睡魔咒》的主演。凯特布兰切特在《魔戒》中饰演精灵女王Galadriel。梅里尔斯特里普在2014年的电影《魔法黑森林》中饰演蓝头发的女巫。
Now, can we hear those words again?
我们现在再听一遍今天的单词吧？
