The center of a Bronze Age culture that probably flourished from c. 2000 to 1400b.c. , it is the traditional site of the labyrinth of Daedalus and the palace of King Minos. 克诺索斯：克里特北部的一个古城，位于现在的伊腊克林附近。青铜时代文明的中心，它可能是从公元前 2000年到1400年很繁盛，它是代达罗斯迷宫和米诺斯国王宫殿传说的所在地 〔Chalcolithic〕The Chalcolithic Period. Also called Copper and Stone Age 青铜时代 也作 Copper and Stone Age〔Chalcolithic〕Of or relating to the period of human culture preliminary to the Bronze Age, characterized by the use of copper and stone tools.青铜时代的：人类文明铜器时代开始时期的或与其相关的，其特征为使用铜器与石器〔Evans〕British archaeologist who unearthed in Crete remnants of a Bronze Age civilization that he named Minoan, after the legendary King Minos.埃文斯，阿瑟·约翰：(1851-1941) 英国考古学家，他对青铜时代文明古国的克里特遗迹进行发掘，并以有传奇色彩的国王弥诺斯名字命名它为弥诺斯文化〔tin〕The history of the wordtin may take us back to a time before Europe had been settled by speakers of Indo-European languages, such as the Germanic and Celtic languages. Related words for this metal are found in almost all Germanic languages,such as GermanZinn, Swedish tenn, and Old English tin (as in Modern English), but no other Indo-European language family has such a word.The word may have been borrowed into the Germanic languages from a pre-Indo-European language of Western Europe.Such borrowing is supported by the factthat during the Bronze Age the Near East imported most of its tin and copper from Europe, where the metals were produced and metal objects were manufactured.Lest we be too amazed by this accomplishment,we might remember another remarkable achievement of pre-Indo-European society, the construction of huge megalithic monuments such as Stonehenge.单词tin 的历史可以把我们带回讲印欧语系语言（如日耳曼和凯尔特语）的民族在欧洲定居以前的那个时代。 在几乎所有的日耳曼语言中都可以找到指称这种金属的相关词，如德语中的zinn ，瑞典语中的 tenn 以及古代英语中的 tin （与现代英语一样）， 但是其它印欧语系语言中都没有这样的一个词。这个词可能是从西欧的前印欧语系语言借入日耳曼语的。这种转借是有据可依的，因为在青铜时代近东地区的大多数锡和铜都是从生产金属和金属器具的欧洲输入的。我们可能对当时欧洲的这种成就感到惊异，但是如果我们想到前印欧语系社会的另一个杰出成就——大型巨石纪念碑，如巨石阵的建造，我们就不会感到那么奇怪了〔Hawes〕American archaeologist who discovered and directed the excavation (1901-1904) of a complete Minoan Bronze Age settlement.霍斯，哈里艾特·安·博伊德：(1871-1945) 美国考古学家，1901-1904年发现并指导了一个完整的处于青铜时代的弥诺斯定居点的挖掘工作 |
