男子用乐高积木重现庞贝古城

发布时间：2020-05-23 编辑：查字典英语网小编

Ryan McKnight spent a staggering 470 hours recreating the historic town of Pompeii entirely from Lego.

瑞安·麦克奈特 McKnight who’s been nicknamed 'The Brickman' whiled away the equivalent of nearly three weeks (we assume that’s excluding toilet breaks etc.) to make the model for the Sydney University’s Nicholson Museum, which it claims is the largest Lego version of Pompeii, ever.

绰号“砖瓦先生” The replica contains more than 190,000 bricks and will be used as an aid for local high school and university students studying Roman and ancient history.

这个复制品含逾19万片积木，将用来帮助当地高中生和大学生学习罗马及古代历史。

It mixes details showing how the city would have looked in 79AD – just before Mount Vesuvius famously erupted – as well as when it was rediscovered again in the 1748.

模型还原了庞贝古城公元79年 Apparently, you can even spot Doctor Who and his Tardis among its landmarks. Hmm, it’s not all historically accurate then.

很显然，你甚至可以在地标上找到“神秘博士” As you can probably guess, this isn’t Mcknight’s first foray into mammoth Lego creations – the University has previously commissioned him to make a Lego Acropolis and a Lego version of the Colosseum in Rome.

或许你已经猜到，这并不是麦克奈特的第一份乐高大作——悉尼大学此前就曾委托他制作过乐高版雅典卫城和罗马斗兽场。
