he discovery of an ancient piece of aluminium is being hailed as evidence that aliens visited Earth 250,000 years ago.
一塊古代鋁合金的發(fā)現(xiàn)，可能會作為外星人在25萬年前造訪過地球的證據(jù)。
The mysterious hunk of metal was found in Romania during the 1970s, when the country was under communist rule.
這塊神秘的金屬于二十世紀(jì)七十年代在羅馬尼亞被發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)時該國還是共產(chǎn)黨執(zhí)政時期。
Now tests at a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland, have revealed that the strange fragment of metal is made up of 90 percent aluminium and is 250,000 years old.
現(xiàn)在瑞士洛桑一家實驗室的檢測結(jié)果顯示，這塊奇怪的金屬碎片中90%是鋁，來自25萬年前。
Aluminium was not produced by mankind until about 200 years ago, so the discovery of the large chunk that could be up to 250,000 years old is being held up as a sensational find.
人類近200年前才掌握生產(chǎn)鋁的技術(shù)，所以這塊來自25萬年前的巨大金屬塊可能會是一個轟動的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
Gheorghe Cohal, the Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologists Association, told local media: "Lab tests concluded it is an old UFO fragment given that the substances it comprises cannot be combined with technology available on Earth."
羅馬尼亞UFO研究學(xué)會副主任喬爾吉·高亞對當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w說：“如果認(rèn)為那個時候地球上不存在合金冶煉技術(shù)，那么實驗室的檢驗結(jié)果就說明它是一塊UFO碎片?！?BR> Builders working on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found the objects about 33 feet under the ground, where it was buried alongside two bones.
當(dāng)時，在羅馬尼亞中部城市阿尤德附近的羅馬尼亞穆列什河岸邊工作的建筑工人，在地下大約33英尺(約合10米)深的土層中發(fā)現(xiàn)幾塊奇怪的物體，旁邊是兩塊骨頭。
It was quickly determined that the two large bones belonged to a large extinct mammal that died between 10,000 and 80,000 years ago, but experts were stunned to find out that the third object was a piece of very lightweight metal and appeared to have been manufactured.
當(dāng)時很快就鑒定出，那兩塊骨頭屬于現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)滅絕的大型哺乳動物，距今已有一萬到八萬年時間。而專家們震驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)，第三塊物體是一塊很輕的金屬，似乎是加工出來的。
However, local historian Mihai Wittenberger said the object is actually a metal piece from a World War II German aircraft, although this does not explain the age of the artifact.
不過，當(dāng)?shù)貧v史學(xué)家米哈伊·維滕伯格認(rèn)為這塊金屬是二戰(zhàn)中德國飛機(jī)的碎片，但他沒有考慮金屬物品的年代和二戰(zhàn)完全不相符。
The metal object has now gone on display in the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca with its full history causing heated speculation after it was noted that museum officials had added a sign saying: "origin still unknown."
目前，這塊神奇的鋁合金陳列于羅馬尼亞的克盧日-納波卡歷史博物館，博物館工作人員在其物品注釋中寫道“來源不明”，引發(fā)了觀展熱潮。
