To prevent entire ecosystems from going up in smoke, Martin said, people must bring healthy fire back to places that need it.

马丁说，为了防止整个生态系统化为灰烬，人们必须把健康的火重新带回需要它的地方。

If there’s congestion or, for example, a local train breaks down, the entire high-speed network is affected.

如果出现拥堵，或者比如某列普通列车发生故障，整个高铁网络都会受到影响。

The idea that one might burn down an entire house just to reclaim the nails underlines how scarce, costly and valuable the simple-seeming technology was.

人们会为了回收钉子而烧掉整座房子，这一做法凸显了这项看似简单的技术在当时是多么稀缺、昂贵和宝贵。

(50) To realize how great was the dramatic activity, we must remember further that hosts of plays have been lost, and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.

(50) 要认识到当时戏剧活动之盛，我们还必须记住，大量剧本已经失传，而且恐怕没有哪一位知名作家的全部作品都流传了下来。

In another case, American archaeologists René Million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City. At its peak around AD 600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in the world. The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremonial areas, but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people lived.

在另一个案例中，美国考古学家勒内·米利翁和乔治·考吉尔花了数年时间，系统地绘制了墨西哥谷地中特奥蒂瓦坎全城的地图，该城位于今墨西哥城附近。在公元600年前后的鼎盛时期，这座城市是世界上最大的人类聚居地之一。研究人员不仅绘制了该城宏大华丽的礼仪区域，还绘制了数百处普通百姓居住的较简陋的公寓建筑群。

Surveys can cover a single large settlement or entire landscapes. In one case, many researchers working around the ancient Maya city of Copán, Honduras, have located hundreds of small rural villages and individual dwellings by using aerial photographs and by making surveys on foot. The resulting settlement maps show how the distribution and density of the rural population around the city changed dramatically between AD 500 and 850, when Copán collapsed.

勘测的范围可以是单个大型聚居地，也可以是整片地域。在一个案例中，许多在洪都拉斯古玛雅城市科潘周边工作的研究人员，借助航拍照片和徒步勘测，找到了数百个小村落和独立住所。由此绘制的聚落地图显示，从公元500年到科潘衰亡的850年间，该城周边农村人口的分布和密度发生了巨大变化。
