向古文明致敬
when napoleon invaded egypt in 1798, general denon took part of the army down the nile. on the morning of 27 january, as the sun rose over the river, the magnificent ruined temples of karnak and luxor were revealed as if in a dream to the battle-hardened french troops. spontaneously the men broke out into applause and, without orders, stood at attention and presented arms in homage to the ancient egyptians who had built these wonders.
拿破仑一七九八年侵埃及，德农将军率领一支军队，沿尼罗河而下。一月二十七日清晨，长河日出，凯尔奈克以及卢克索的古庙遗，如梦如幻，出现在久经战斗麻木不仁的法国军队之前。他们不由自主喝起采来，不用号令，一起立正举枪，向建筑这奇景的古埃及人致敬。
