Nothing is exciting about Maussollos life except the construction of his tomb.The project was conceived by his wife Artemisia, and the construction might have started during the king's lifetime.
除了這座陵墓，摩索拉斯國王本身并沒有什么聞名于世。這個(gè)工程由他妻子完工，有可能在國王活著的時(shí)候就開始建造了。
The Mausoleum was completed around 350 BC, three years after Maussollos's death, and one year after Artemisia's.
王陵大概在國王死后公元前350年建成，一年后王后也去世了。
For 16 centuries, the Mausoleum remained in good condition until an earthquake caused some damage to the roof and colonnade.In the early fifteenth century, the Knights of St John of Malta invaded the region and built a massive crusader castle.
16個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，王陵保存完好，直到一次地震毀壞了頂部和廊柱。
When they decided to fortify it in 1494, they used the stones of the Mausoleum.By 1522, almost every block of the Mausoleum had been disassembled and used for construction.
1494年人們打算修復(fù)這些毀壞的部分，就使用了王陵內(nèi)部的石頭。到1522年，幾乎王陵所有的磚石都被卸下以作修繕之用。
Today, the massive castle still stands in Bodrum, and the polished stone and marble blocks of the Mausoleum can be spotted within the walls of the structure.Some of the sculptures survived and are today on display at the British Museum in London.
今日，巨大的城堡仍聳立在博德魯姆，仍能從建筑結(jié)構(gòu)里看到來自王陵的閃亮的石塊鑲嵌其中。有些雕塑幸免于難，今日仍在倫敦大英博物館展出。
These include fragment of statues and many slabs of the frieze showing the battle between the Greeks and the Amazons. At the site of the Mausoleum itself, only the foundation remains of the once magnificent Wonder.
這些雕塑有雕像殘片，記錄希臘人和亞馬遜人之間戰(zhàn)爭的雕刻石板。縱觀摩索拉斯國王陵墓，只有陵基還保持著昔日的輝煌。
