（单词翻译）

Archaeologists in Egypt have found a tomb that has three mummies inside it. The ancient tomb is over 3,500 years old. It contains the mummified bodies of a woman and her two sons. Archaeologists say the tomb belonged to a royal goldsmith called Amenemhat and that the woman may be his wife. There was a statue of the goldsmith, sitting beside the woman. The tomb was found near the city of Luxor on the River Nile. Luxor is about 700km south of Egypt's capital city Cairo. Archaeologists say the woman was about 50 years old when she died. Tests show that she died because she had a bone disease¹. Her two sons were in their 20s and 30s. All three bodies were in very good condition.

考古学家发现了一个墓穴，里面有三具木乃伊。这座古墓已有超过3500年的历史。其中埋葬的是一名女子和她的两个儿子风干的尸体。考古学家表示，这个墓穴是一个名叫Amenemhat的皇家金匠的，这名女子可能是他的妻子。这位金匠的雕像就坐在女子旁边。墓穴在尼罗河沿岸的祖玛发现。祖玛位于埃及首都开罗南部大约700千米。考古学家表示，这名女子死亡时大约50岁。检测显示她是死于骨骼疾病。她的两个儿子分别20多岁和30多岁。三具尸体都保存完好。

The site that contains Amenemhat's tomb consists of a courtyard and two burial shafts². It was discovered by an Egyptian archaeological team from Luxor Antiquities³. The latest discovery came after six years of digging on the site. Dr Yousef Khalifa, Egypt's former head of antiquities, told Arab News: "Luxor alone has one-third of the world's ancient monuments and visitors will enjoy exploring the newly⁴ found ancient Egyptian relics⁵." Dr Khalifa hopes the new discoveries will help Egypt's tourism industry. He said many tourists will come to see the new mummies. Current head of antiquities, Dr Khaled al-Anani, hopes archaeologists will find more mummies in the area.
