　　Rock Art of the Australia Aborigines

　　P1: Ever since European first explored Australia, people have been trying to understand the ancient rock drawings and carvings created by the Aborigines, the original inhabitants of the continent. Early in the nineteenth century, encounters with Aboriginal rock art tended to be infrequent and open to speculative interpretation, but since the late nineteenth century, awareness of the extent and variety of Australian rock art has been growing. In the latter decades of the twentieth century there were intensified efforts to understand and record the abundance of Australian rock art.

　　难句解析:

　　Early in the nineteenth century, encounters with Aboriginal rock art tended to be infrequent and open to speculative interpretation, but since the late nineteenth century, awareness of the extent and variety of Australian rock art has been growing.

　　在十九世纪早期，遇到的岩石艺术品还比较少，大多是猜测性的解释，但是到了十九世纪晚期，人们意识到这些岩石艺术的范围和多样性一直在增加。

　　P2: The systematic study of this art is a relatively new discipline in Australia. Over the past four decades new discoveries have steadily added to the body of knowledge. The most significant data have come from a concentration on three major questions. First, what is the age of Australian rock art? Second, what is its stylistic organization and is it possible to discern a sequence or a pattern of development between styles? Third, is it possible to interpret accurately the subject matter of ancient rock art, bring to bear all available archaeological techniques and the knowledge of present-day Aboriginal informants?

　　难词解析：

　　systematic adj. 系统性的

　　discipline n. 学科

　　concentration n. 集中、聚集

　　discern v. 觉察、识别

　　sequence n. 顺序

　　pattern n. 模式、组合

　　subject n. 主题

　　bear v. 表明、展示

　　难句解析：

　　Third, is it possible to interpret accurately the subject matter of ancient rock art, bring to bear all available archaeological techniques and the knowledge of present-day Aboriginal informants?

　　第三，有没有可能在利用所有可能的考古技术和对现有土著居民中博学者的了解，准确地了解这些岩石艺术所要表达的主题?
