Good morning,everyone.I've been invited to talk about my research project into Australian Aboriginal rock paintings.
大家早上好。我應邀來此，與大家聊聊我的研究項目，澳大利亞原住民的巖石繪畫。
The Australian Aborigines have recorded both real and symbolic images of their time on rock walls for many thousands of years.
澳大利亞原住民已經持續數千年在石墻上記錄他們所處時代現實的及非現實的畫面。
Throughout the long history of this tradition,new images have appeared and new painting styles have developed.
在這個傳統的悠久歷史中，新的圖像和繪畫風格不斷更迭演化。
And these characteristics can be used to categorise the different artistic styles.
這些特點可以用來對不同種的藝術風格進行分類。
Among these are what we call the Dynamic,Yam and Modern styles of painting.
我們所說的“活力”，“甘薯”和“現代”繪畫風格也包含在其中。
One of the most significant characteristics of the different styles is the way that humans are depicted in the paintings.
這些不同的畫風中最重要的特色之一就是畫面上描繪人類的方式。
The more recent paintings show people in static poses.
最近的繪畫顯示人們處于靜止狀態。
But the first human images to dominate rock art paintings,over 8,000 years ago, were full of movement.
但是8000多年前的早期主流石畫中的人物形象卻充滿了動感。
These paintings showed people hunting and cooking food and so they were given the name 'Dynamic' to reflect this energy.
這些繪畫展現了人們狩獵和煮飯的樣子，因此它們被命名為“活力”以反映這種精力。
It's quite amazing considering they were painted in such a simple stick-like form.
能將他們畫成這種簡單的，線形畫是很驚人的。
In the Yam period,there was a movement away from stick figures to a more naturalistic shape.
在“甘薯”石畫時期，線形畫開始向更加自然的形態轉變。
However,they didn't go as far as the Modern style,which is known as 'x-ray'
然而，它們不及“現代”風格。后者被稱為“X光”，
because it actually makes a feature of the internal skeleton as well as the organs of animals and humans.
因為事實上它的特點是描繪了動物和人的骨架及器官。
