P: Oh, hello, Ken, aren\'t you a bit early? Isn\'t our appointment for three o\'clock?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: Yeah, sorry to surprise you, but if you have time, could we talk now?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

That way I can get to the library before it closes.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They\'re closing early today because of the snowstorm that\'s coming.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Sure, come in.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: I saw that documentary film you recommended about ancient Roman roads in Britain. Thanks for telling me about it.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Yes, I thought it would help you prepare for your trip to Britain this summer.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I remember you said you\'ll be visiting some Roman sites.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So what did you think?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: Well, it said a lot of the same things that you were saying in class.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Like before the Romans first arrived in Britain, there were no real roads.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The Romans built paved roads so they could travel quickly across long distances.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And for the same reason, they always made the roads straight, so they had to do things like drain marshes and cut down trees that were in the way, even tunnel through mountains.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Yes, and building those roads led to some unintended consequences.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

For example, the local inhabitants started using the roads to reach places that they hadn\'t been in contact with before.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So there was more trade.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But in building these nice straight roads, the Romans were also providing their enemies with an easy way to attack them, which is partly what brought the Roman era in Britain to an end.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: But there\'s one thing that didn\'t get explained, and that\'s what I wanted to ask you.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The Romans were in Britain for 400 years, but what happened to their roads after they left?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Well, those roads were certainly built to last, but they did eventually fall into disrepair because the local people didn\'t have the engineering know-how to maintain them.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

In fact, there wasn\'t a good transport system in Britain again until the 19th century, when the railways were built, talk about being ahead of their time.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So, to answer your question, things largely went back to the way they\'d been before.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

On the other hand, the story doesn\'t end there.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took a photograph of Britain at night.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

You can see it online.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The cities and towns are all lit up, and between them are brightly lit lines where the modern highways are.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I think you\'ll be surprised by this photograph.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

It\'s like looking at an aerial photo of the Roman road network.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And as for the roads that disappeared entirely, some of them are being found again.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Now that we have advanced sensing systems that can scan what\'s under the ground.
