We will call him "Iceman" because his body was frozen in ice for several thousand years.我们叫他冰人，因为他的身体被冻在冰里几千年
His body was discovered in 1991 by two hikers in the mountains near the border of Austria and Italy.他的身体在1991年被两个爬山者在澳大利亚和意大利的边界附近的山里发现
The lower part of his body was still frozen in ice, but the upper part was uncovered and visible.他的下半身一直冰冻在冰里，但上半身没有覆盖可以看见
Once the body was extracted from the ice, it was taken in for examination.一旦身体被从冰里拉出来，它被接受检查
Upon examination, scientists determined that the Iceman lived around 5300 years ago.根据检查，科学家们断定这个冰人大约生活在5300年以前
This was at the end of the Stone Age, nearly 1000 years before the great pyramids were built.那是在石器时代末，金字塔建造的近1000年前
This made him the oldest mummy ever found.这使他成为有史以来最老的木乃伊
Iceman's body was in good condition when it was found.当它被发现时，冰人的身体情况很好
People believed that the body was one of many hikers who had been lost in recent years.人们认为这身体是近年来失踪的许多徒步旅行者之一
