巨石阵—
有谁能解释它为什么在那儿？
巨石阵，一个岩石圈，
它不仅是英国最著名的历史古迹之一，
而且是英国最大的未解之谜中的一个迷。
这里每年接待75万多名游客。
人们特别喜欢在六月份去这个地方，
因为他们想在这里观看一年中白昼最长的一天的日出。
许多年以来，历史学家认为巨石阵是古代首领试图与神交流的庙宇。
然而，历史学家保罗· 斯多克认为这不可能真实，
因为巨石阵建于这么多世纪以前。
他指出“那些首领们抵达英国是很久以后的事了” 。
另一种流行的观点是，巨石阵可能是某种日历。
这些巨石以一种特定的方式被放置在一起。
在仲夏的早晨，太阳光会直接照射在巨石阵的中央。
也有其他人认为这些石头有着医学上的目的。
他们认为这些石头可以预防疾病，让人们保持身体健康。
“当你走到那儿时，你可以感觉到一股能量从你的脚下往上涌动到你的全身，”
一位游客说道。
没有人确定巨石阵是用来干什么的，

但大多数人都赞同这些石头的排列一定有其特殊的目的。
有些人认为它可能是一个墓地或是一处用来祭奠祖先的地方。
还有人认为它是为了庆祝战胜敌人而修建的。
巨石阵的修建经历了一段很漫长的时间。
大多数历史学家认为它肯定已有接近5000年的历史了。
最大的谜题之一这个巨石阵是如何建成的，
因为这些石头是如此的巨大和沉重。
在2001年，一群英国的志愿者试图建造另一个巨石阵，
但他们以失败告终。
“我们真的不知道谁建造了巨石阵，”保罗 · 斯多克说。
“可能我们永远不知道，但我们的确知道他们一定是十分努力—而且伟大的设计师！”
Stonehenge —
Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places,
but also one of its greatest mysteries.
Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors.
People go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods.
However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago.
“The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar.
The large stones were put together in a certain way.
On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones.
Other people believe thestones have a medical purpose.
They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy.
“As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,”said

one visitor.
No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones
must be for a special purpose.
Some think it might be a burial place, or a place to honor ancestors.
Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time.
Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old.
One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy.
In2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge,
but they couldn’t.
“We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker.
“And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hardworking
— and great planners!”
