World's Oldest Murder 1世界上最古老的谋杀案

When the body of the Iceman was discovered, nobody realized that he had been murdered.当冰人的尸体被发现时,没有人意识到他是被谋杀的。

It was first believed that he got lost in a storm and had died in the cold weather.人们最初认为他在暴风雨中迷了路,死于寒冷的天气。

However, when the discovery of an arrowhead in his body, it was clear that the Iceman was murdered.然而,当在他身上发现一个箭头时,很明显,冰人是被谋杀的。

Analysis showed that the arrow had entered his body and cut through an artery in his chest.分析显示,这支箭射入了他的身体,穿透了他胸部的一根动脉。

This would have caused severe bleeding and weakened him.这会导致严重出血,使他虚弱。

With the loss of blood, he couldn't have survived for very long after being shot.由于失血过多,他中弹后活不了多久。

The analyze something means to examine it very carefully分析意味着非常仔细地检查它


Further examinations revealed something more about how he may have died.进一步的检查揭示了他可能是如何死亡的。

Using a CT scan, scientists found blood in his brain.通过CT扫描,科学家在他的大脑中发现了血液。

This indicated that he was struck on the head before he died.这表明他在死前头部被击中。

Either he was hit on the head or he fell and struck his head on a rock.不是他的头被击中了,就是他跌倒了,头撞在了石头上。

This probably happened when he was in a weakened condition after being shot by the arrow.这可能发生在他被箭射中身体虚弱的时候。
