One of the most interesting people in history is probably someone you have never heard of.历史上最有趣的人之一可能是你从来没有听说过的人。
We will call him "Iceman" because his body was frozen in ice for several thousand years.我们将把他称为“冰人”，因为他的身体在冰上冻结了几千年。
His body was discovered in 1991 by two hikers in the mountains near the border of Austria and Italy. 他的身体于1991年被遇到了两名徒步旅行者发现，在 哈尔施拉边界附近的山区。
The lower part of his body was still frozen in ice, but the upper part was uncovered and visible.他的身体的下部仍然在冰上冻结，但上部被揭开和可见。
Once the body was extracted from the ice, it was taken in for examination.从冰中取出尸体后，将其接受检查。
Upon examination, scientists determined that the Iceman lived around 5,300 (fiftythree hundred) years ago.在检查时，科学家认为，这个冰人生活在5300年前。
This was at the end of the Stone Age, nearly 1,000 years before the great pyramids were built.那是在石器时代的末期，距建造大金字塔将近1000年
This made him the oldest mummy ever found.这使他成为有史以来最古老的木乃伊。
Iceman's body was in good condition when it was found. 冰人的身体在发现时是好的状况。
People believed that the body was one of many hikers who had been lost in recent years.人们认为，尸体是近年来迷失的众多徒步旅行者之一。
Nobody suspected that the body was as old as it was.没有人怀疑这具尸体如此古老。
It had been preserved by the ice for thousands of years.它被冰保存了数千年。
Given its good condition, studying it was like opening a window in time.Scientists could learn a lot about how people lived 5,000 years ago.鉴于其良好的条件，对其进行研究就像及时地打开了一个窗口。科学家可以从中了解到5000年前人们的生活。
The Iceman lived at the end of the Stone Age, a time of great change in human history.冰人生活在石器时代末期，当时人类历史发生了巨大变化。
Hunting was still a major source of food, but people were beginning to farm. 狩猎仍然是一个主要的食物来源，但人们有农场。
People were settling down and forming communities. 人们在安顿下来并组成社区。
These communities were claiming territory and setting up boundaries. 这些社区声称拥有领土并建立边界。
As a result, sometimes they had to fight to defend their territory from outsiders. 结果，有时他们不得不为捍卫自己的领土同外来者战斗。
The village where the Iceman lived was probably not far from where he died. 冰人居住的村庄可能离他去世的地方不远
