Sir John Reith said that it would end “isolation of the spirit” and rejoiced: “It does not matter how many thousands may be listening, there is always enough for others...the genius and the fool, the wealthy and the poor listen simultaneously.”

约翰·里思爵士说，它将终结“精神上的孤立”，并欣喜地表示：“无论有成千上万的人在收听，总还有足够的空间留给其他人……天才与傻瓜、富人与穷人都在同时收听。”

I first discovered the Napoleonic cryptographic battle a few years ago when I was reading Sir Charles Oman’s epic History of the Peninsular War.

几年前，我在阅读查尔斯·欧曼爵士的鸿篇巨制《半岛战争史》时，第一次发现了拿破仑时代的密码战。

Most archaeological sites, however, are discovered by archaeologists who have set out to look for them. Such searches can take years. British archaeologist Howard Carter knew that the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun existed from information found in other sites. Carter sifted through rubble in the Valley of the Kings for seven years before he located the tomb in 1922. In the late 1800s British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans combed antique dealers’ stores in Athens, Greece. He was searching for tiny engraved seals attributed to the ancient Mycenaean culture that dominated Greece from the 1400s to 1200s BC. Evans’s interpretations of these engravings eventually led him to find the Minoan palace at Knossos (Knosós), on the island of Crete, in 1900.

然而，大多数考古遗址是由专门去寻找它们的考古学家发现的。这样的搜寻可能要花上数年。英国考古学家霍华德·卡特从其他遗址中发现的信息得知，埃及法老图坦卡蒙的陵墓是存在的。卡特在帝王谷的碎石中筛查了七年，才于1922年找到了这座陵墓。19世纪末，英国考古学家阿瑟·埃文斯爵士搜遍了希腊雅典的古董店。他在寻找一些小型雕刻印章，据认为它们属于公元前15世纪至公元前13世纪统治希腊的古迈锡尼文化。埃文斯对这些雕刻的解读最终使他于1900年在克里特岛上的克诺索斯发现了米诺斯王宫。
