A "LOST TRIBE" that reached America from Australia may have been. the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.
(46)
If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will shatter long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.
On this theory rests the authority of Native Americans (previously known as Red Indians) to have been the first true Americans. They would be relegated to the ranks of also-rans, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals in boats.
To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales of Liverpool John Moores University said.
Her claims are based on skeletons found in the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Rim.
(47)
The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North.
"We think there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups," Dr. Gonzales said. "The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution."
(48)
But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to extract DNA from the bones.
(49)
Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent with an Australian origin.
(50)
She believes that they arrived by boat, settled in what is now Mexico and at other points along the Pacific coast, and survived for thousands of years.
The first Spanish colonists and missionaries described the people they found in the area, the Pericue, as slim hunter-gatherers. They lacked much culture, but did have burial customs in which bodies were laid out in the sun before being painted with ochre and buried.
The Spanish collected the people into missions, where they died out in the 18th century.
选项
答案
昨天,冈萨雷斯博士拒绝透露确切的结果,因为研究结果还需要核对,但是他暗示这些DNA和澳大利亚人的血统是吻合的。
解析
本句是复合句,句子主干结构是Dr. Gonzales declined to say…but indicated that…。what the results were是say的宾语从句;as they need to be checked是原因状语从句;that they were consistent with an Australian origin是indicate的宾语从句。本句翻译时注意词义的具体化,例如say译成"透露"可将意思更准确地表示出来。be consistent with意为"与…一致的",这里译成"与…吻合的"更为确切。此外,注意语言简练准确,句中say exactly what the results were意为"透露确切结果是什么",将其翻译成"透露确切的结果"既忠实于原句,又简洁流畅。
