媒體英語(yǔ)會(huì)帶大家一起學(xué)習(xí)BBC撰稿人在報(bào)道世界大事時(shí)常用到的單詞和短語(yǔ)。

Background: 英格蘭中部的一名文物管理官員作出決定，把一批安格魯薩克遜積聚黃金定為珍寶。這意味著各地的博物館將有機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)行投標(biāo)。據(jù)形容，這是來(lái)自英格蘭中部罕見(jiàn)的考古發(fā)現(xiàn)。

The quality of the craftsmanship is supreme.

One thousand five hundred individual items: five kilograms of gold and two and a half kilograms of silver and many decorated with precious stones.

Exquisite sword fittings, parts of helmets and a crumpled golden cross.

It is by far the largest find of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever, much bigger than the 1939 discovery at Sutton Hoo.

It may have belonged to the kings of Mercia and date from the seventh century, a time of great turmoil in the land.
