"People were in a state of distress, if I can put it as politely as that, when they came to the Stonehenge monument," Darvill told journalists assembled at London's Society of Antiquaries. 達(dá)維爾告訴聚集在倫敦古物學(xué)會(huì)的記者們說(shuō)：“人們當(dāng)時(shí)處在一種痛苦的狀態(tài)，如果我可以客氣地這么說(shuō)的話，來(lái)到巨石陣。”

"We found several reasons to believe that the stones were built as part of a belief in a healing process," Wainwright told journalists assembled at London's Society of Antiquaries. “我們有理由相信巨石陣的建造為了是某種讓身體康復(fù)的信念,"杰夫里教授在倫敦考古協(xié)會(huì)對(duì)采訪的記者說(shuō)。
