1.And another bit of physics I played here is something called Resonance.
而这里要提到的另一种物理学则称为共鸣。
2.I am no physicist, but well I imagine you have all blown air over the top of an empty bottle and heard the sound it makes.
我不懂物理学,但我想你们都有过这样的经历,把耳朵放在空瓶子顶部便会听到瓶子发出的声音。
3.And you probably notice that depending on its size, each empty bottle plays one particular musical note.
你们很可能注意到,每个瓶子大小不同,其发出的某一音乐符号也有所不同。
4.or as a physicist might put it, each bottle resonates at a particular frequency.
或许物理学会这么解释,每个瓶子在某一特定频率上会产生共鸣。
5.Well, that's true of these chambers too.
嗯,这些房间的原理也是一样的。
6.If you make a constant noise inside the chamber, maybe by steadily beating drum at a certain rate, a particular frequency of sound will resonate.
如果你在房间里一直发出声音,或许可以固定的节奏打鼓,某一特定的声音频率便会产生共鸣。
7.We will ring out intensely, depending on the size of chamber.
这样会发出强大的声音,根据房间的大小声音强弱有所不同。
8.In some of the large chambers though, these intensified sound may be too deep for us to hear, we can feel it.
而在某些大房间里,这些强大的声音可能过于低沉,所以我们听不到。
9.We are mysteriously agitated by it, but it is not a sound our ears can hear.
我们会因此无意识地感到烦躁…但是这些声音耳朵是听不到的。
10.The psychological effects of all these extraordinary sounds can be profound, especially when they seem so disconnected from human doing the drumming or chanting.
所有这些非同寻常的声音所产生的心理效果是非常强大的,特别是当它们与人类打鼓或念经所发出的声音毫无关联的时候。
11.And there can be observable physical effects on people too.
在人类身上也会产生可观察到的物理效应。
12.In fact, the sounds can cause headaches, feelings of dizziness, increase heart rate, that sort of thing, you see.
事实上,这些声音会造成头痛,头晕,加剧头疼症状,等等。
13.Anyway, what was experienced inside one of these Passage Graves clearly could be far more intense than the everyday reality outside, which made them very special places.
不管怎样,在这些过道式坟墓里面所体验到的很明显比日常生活中体验到的要更为强烈,这也是这些地方的独特之处。
14.But back to your question, Michael, as to whether these graves were designed to be used by the living, well, certainly with regard to astronomical or calendar function,that seems pretty obvious, and I want to go into more detail on that now.
但回到你问的问题,Michael,关于人们设计建造这些坟墓是要作为居住地的吗。嗯,当然,我们就不得不讲到天文日历的功能了,这似乎显而易见。现在我就来详细讲讲。
