In one place the ground had been trodden down by the cattle; they had to step on large green stones put here and there in the mud.

Radiocarbon dating has revealed that work continued at Stonehenge until roughly 1600 BCE, with the bluestones in particular being repositioned multiple times.

放射性碳测年显示，巨阵工作一直持续到大约公元前 1600 年，尤其是青被多次重新定位。

Those streets were mostly paved with large bluestone slabs, so there was no risk of having to slosh through mud even on rainy days.

这街道大多铺有大型青板，因此即使在雨天也不必在泥泞中晃动。

According to one long-standing theory among archaeologists, Stonehenge's builders fashioned sledges and rollers out of tree trunks to lug the bluestones from the Preseli Hills.

根据考古家长期以来一项理论，巨阵建造者用树干制作了雪橇和滚轮，以便从普雷塞利山拖出青。

More recent archaeological hypotheses have them transporting the bluestones with supersized wicker baskets on a combination of ball bearings and long grooved planks, hauled by oxen.

最近考古假设认为，他们用滚珠轴承和长槽木板组合而成超大柳条篮运输青，并由牛拉动。

Slight modifications had been made to the tree trunk, and there were two bluestone slabs tucked under either end of it, transforming it into a crude bench.

树干做了一细微修改，两端两端夹着两块青板，把它变成了一个简陋长凳。

After centuries of being trodden on by people, horses, and carriages, the high-quality bluestone slabs had already been polished to the point that they were as smooth as mirrors.

经过几个世纪人、马和马车踩踏，高质量青板已经被抛光到像镜子一样光滑程度。

Several hundred years later, it is thought, Stonehenge's builders hoisted an estimated 80 bluestones, 43 of which remain today, into standing positions and placed them in either a horseshoe or circular formation.

据认为，数百年后，巨阵建造者将大约 80 块青吊起，并以马蹄形或圆形形式竖立起来，其中 43 块至今仍保留下来。

Although they are smaller than the massive sarsens, the bluestones still weigh an average of 4 tons each, and archaeologists are baffled as to how they were transported so far without modern technology—or even the wheel!

尽管青比巨大砂岩残块要小，但每块仍平均重达 4 吨，考古家非常疑惑人们是怎样运输了如此远距离，在没有现代工具甚至没有轮子情况下！

Davos did not deny it. " At Storm's End you wore red-gold armor, with inlaid lapis flowers on your breastplate" . He reached down a hand to help the other man to his feet.

戴佛斯没有否认。" 记得在风息堡，您穿着红金甲胄，胸甲上镶有天青色花。" 他伸手扶老人站起。

Challenging the classic image of industrious builders pushing, carting, rolling or hauling giant stones from faraway Wales, some scientists have suggested that it was glaciers, not humans, that carried the bluestones to Salisbury Plain.

一科家挑战了勤劳建筑工人从遥远威尔士推、运、滚或拖巨经典形象，他们认为是冰川，而不是人类，将青带到了索尔兹伯里平原。
