A city In The Jungle

丛林中的城市

In the summer of 1848, in Guatemala, a man called Ambrosio Tut went out into the jungle, as he did almost every day. Tut was a gum-collector, looking for gum in the jungle. To do this, he had to climb the trees. On this particular day, he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eye.  He looked out across the trees and saw...the tops of some old buildings.

在1848年的夏天，在危地马拉，一个叫Ambrosio Tut 的男人就如往日般进入了这片林子。Tut是个橡胶收割者，在林子里寻找橡胶的踪迹。要收割橡胶，他必须得爬上树。在这特别的一天，他在树上时，一个东西吸引了他的眼球。他透过重重的树木望过去，竟然看到了几间古老建筑物的屋顶。

Tut didn't really know what he had seen but he knew it was something special. He ran to tell the local governor, and together thet walked into the jungle. There they found Tikal, the city that the Mayans had built, many hundreds of years before. The two men saw temples and pyramids, squares and houses, and palaces where kings had lived when the Mayan people ruled the region.

Tut不知道他看到的是什么，但他知道这一定不是寻常之物。他把这事告诉了当地的管理人，然后他们一起进入这片林子。在那里，他们发现了蒂卡尔，一座被玛雅人在几百年前建立的城市。这两个男人看到了庙宇，金字塔，广场，屋子，和在玛雅人统领这个区域时国王居住的宫殿。
