穴居的

In spite of their Unitarian proclivities and their masks of conservative broadmindedness, they were two generations behind interpretative science: their mental processes were mediaeval, while their thinking on the ultimate data of existence and of the universe struck him as the same metaphysical method that was as young as the youngest race, as old as the cave-man, and older - the same that moved the first Pleistocene ape-man to fear the dark; that moved the first hasty Hebrew savage to incarnate Eve from Adam's rib; that moved Descartes to build an idealistic system of the universe out of the projections of his own puny ego; and that moved the famous British ecclesiastic to denounce evolution in satire so scathing as to win immediate applause and leave his name a notorious scrawl on the page of history.

同时，他也感到，他们看待生命和宇宙的终极事实的方法还是形而上学的，那种看法阻地球上最年轻的种族的看法一样幼稚；也跟穴居人的看法一样古老，甚至更古老--那看法使第一个更新世的猿人害怕黑暗；使第一个匆促的希伯来野蛮人用亚当的肋骨造成了夏娃；使笛卡尔通过反射渺小的自我建立了唯心主义的宇宙体系；使那有名的英格兰传教士用尖刻的讽刺来谴责进化论，并立即博得了喝彩，从而在历史的篇章里草草留下了一个臭名。

Surreal, functional, and environmentally sensitive, Peichl's brilliant solution for this site, like Noever's Pit and Ambasz's Schlumberger Laboratories, seems to bridge the gap between the earliest principles of troglodytism and a new,computer-connected, habitat for the next century.

就像诺维的地窖计画、以及安巴兹的史坎朗柏格实验室一样，佩奇在选择地点上作了聪明的决定---既超现实、又具功能性、对环境又易於感受；彷佛在最古早的穴居主义与下世纪的电脑族新居民之间，架起了一座桥。

During Larry^s watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he^s history^s fiercest predator.

每天晚上博物馆中的各类模型都要活过来，然后把拉里折磨得痛不欲生。先是玛雅人，古罗马军团还有牛仔们轮番向他发起了大规模的进攻；然后一个穴居人为了生火把他自己的陈列室给烧了；匈奴王带领自己的匈奴兵把隔壁的展览室给抢劫一空；紧接着一具霸王龙骨架跳出来试图提醒所有人，它是历史上最残暴的食肉动物……白天的人们都不相信拉里描述的事情，认为他精神有问题。

In his new book "The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind, and Body"(Harvard University Press, 2006), Mithen contends that because of their communication powers, dance and music likely became an important tool of social interaction as soon as humans could walk and talk.

在他的新书《唱歌的穴居人：音乐、语言、思想及身体的起源》中，米森还提出，由于舞蹈和音乐所具有的交流信息的力量，在早期人类刚会行走和说话的时候，它们很可能就成为了一种社会交互作用的重要工具。
