《中英對照讀新聞》Ancient Philippi to claim spot on UNESCO list 腓利比遺址登錄聯合國教科文組織名錄
◎蔡子岳
Sites included in UNESCO’s prestigious World Heritage List are selected with a set of natural and cultural criteria, which are regularly revised by a relevant committee to reflect the evolution of the institution itself.
納入「聯合國教科文組織」地位崇高的「世界遺產名錄」的遺址,是經由一套自然與文化性標準選出,由學有專精的委員會定期檢討修正,以反映教科文組織的進展。
Criteria include recognition of the sites as outstanding examples representing major stages of the world’s history or as masterpieces of human creative genius and, with that criteria in mind, the archaeological site of Philippi undoubtedly deserves a place in that list.
這套標準包括該遺址被認定為代表世界歷史重要階段的突出範例,或是人類創造力的傑作,據此觀之,腓利比考古遺址納入名錄乃適得其所。
"The area of Philippi hosts a series of archaeological monuments, witnesses to a long historical path during which civilizations intersected and developed," writes UNESCO’s official site for this amazing ancient city located in eastern Macedonia.
「腓利比遺址有一系列考古遺跡,見證長時間不同文明交錯及發展的歷史軌跡。」教科文組織官網如此介紹這座位於東馬其頓的瑰麗古城。
Philippi was established by the king of Macedon, Philip II in 356 BC. This ancient city, had walled fortifications, a theatre, several public buildings and private houses.
腓利比是馬其頓國王腓力二世於公元前356年所建。這座古城建有防禦工事、劇場、數座公共建築與民房。
The milestone battle of Philippi, which took place outside the western city walls in 42 BC, was a turning point in the area’s history. The site was conquered by Octavian and, as a Roman colony, developed into a financial, administrative, and artistic centre.
公元前42年發生在城西的「腓利比之戰」,是當地歷史的轉捩點。古城被屋大維攻佔,成為羅馬殖民地,後來發展成金融、行政與藝術中心。
