古老佳酿出土！中国古墓内发现2000年前的古酒





It's well-known that ancient Europeans loved drinking wine, but a recent discovery suggests that the ancient Chinese enjoyed the tipple just as much.

众所周知，古代欧洲人喜欢喝葡萄酒，但最近的一项发现表明，古代中国人也同样喜欢喝酒。

Archaeologists in China have found vintage wine thought to be more than 2,000 years old in a commoner's tomb.

中国的考古学家在一个平民墓中发现了据信有2000多年历史的葡萄酒。

The liquid, measuring 300 milliliter, proves that ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty (221-207BC) enjoyed drinking alcohol, according to researchers.

据研究人员介绍，这些300毫升的液体，表明秦朝（公元前221-207年）普通大众喜欢饮酒。

The ancient alcohol was  discovered inside a bronze vessel by archaeologists from the  Archaeological Research Institute of Shaanxi Province.

这种古老的酒是由陕西省考古研究所的考古学家们在一件出土的青铜器皿中发现的。

From May, 2017, to January, 2018, researchers excavated a group of 56 ancient tombs for a new subway project in the Xixian New District in Shaanxi Province. 

从2017年5月到2018年1月，研究人员在陕西省西县新城区因一个新地铁项目挖掘了一组共56座古墓。

The bronze vessel was found during the process and is thought to date back to Qin Dynasty, the first power-centralised dynasty on the Chinese history.
Experts from the institute said the alcohol, now milky yellow, was a type of fermented alcoholic beverage.

装这些酒的青铜容器是在挖掘这些古墓时被发现的，据信可以追溯到中国历史上第一个权力集中的王朝秦朝，来自该研究所的专家说，这种现在呈现乳黄色的酒精液体，是一种发酵酒精饮料。

The container, called Zhong, appeared similar to those that were normally used during a sacrifice ceremony in ancient China. 

这个被称为“盅”的容器与中国古代祭祀仪式上使用的容器相似。

The institute called the discovery a 'surprise'. Apparently, the alcohol survived until today because the container had been sealed well. The vessel was covered by tough sack cloth which was tied with plant vines. 

该研究所称这一发现可谓“惊喜”。由于容器密封得很好，古酒得以保存至今。容器上覆盖着用植物藤条捆绑起来的粗制麻布。



Among the 56 ancient tombs that were excavated, 49 were thought to have been built between the Warring States Period (475-221BC) and the Qin Dynasty, one from the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) and six from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1914).

在被挖掘的56个古墓中，有49个被认为年代是在战国时期（公元前475-221年）和秦朝之间，一个是汉朝的（公元206bc-220），六个是清朝（1644-1914）的。

More than 260 relics were unearthed in all of the tombs.
Apart from the vintage tipple, archaeologists discovered an ancient sword believed to be nearly 3,000 years old. The 30cm-long (23in-long) blade, found in another tomb, was sharp and appeared to be well worn.

在全部墓穴中共出土了超过260件文物。
除了古酒，考古学家还发现了一把据信有近3000年历史的古剑。这把古剑出土于另一个墓穴，有30厘米长（23英寸长）的被磨损过但依然锋利的剑刃。
More interestingly, archaeologists also found in a turtle shell in a smaller tomb. The shell, measuring 14cm (5.5in) long and 10cm (3.9in) wide, was believed to have been used by a local religious official for the purpose of divination.

更有趣的是，考古学家还在一个较小的墓穴里发现了一个龟壳。龟壳长14厘米，宽10厘米，据说是当时宗教官员用来占卜的工具。

黄颜色的酒？——他们确定这不是另一种液体，与大量饮酒有关的那种？（译者注：意思是尿）

Sam Toku
Of course, it might just have been fruit juice, if it had not been pasteurised it would have, at least partly, fermented on its own, especially after 2000 years.

显然，它也有可能是果汁，如果它没有经过巴氏消毒，那它至少有一部分是自己发酵的，特别是在2000年之后。
