这块蜡板于1892年被大英图书馆收购,自上世纪70年代以来就没有公开展示过。图书馆的代表们在一份声明中说,大英图书馆即将举办名为“书写:留下你的印记”的展览,追溯书写在5000多年人类历史当中的演变过程。这块家庭作业板将在此次展览中展出。
On the wax tablet is a two-part lesson in Greek that provides a snapshot of daily life for a pupil attending primary school in Egypt about 1,800 years ago, exhibit co-curator Peter Toth, also a curator of ancient and medieval manuscripts at the British Library, told Live Science in an email.
彼得·托特是此次展览的共同策展人,也是大英图书馆古代和中世纪文稿的策展人。他通过电子邮件告诉美国趣味科学网站,蜡板上的课文分两部分,均为希腊文,可以让我们了解大约1800年前古埃及小学生的日常生活。
snapshot['snæpʃɑt]: n. 简单印象

One part of the assignment was a writing exercise. The slab displays a teacher's written example in the first line, and the next two lines contain the same words copied "rather clumsily" in the student's hand, much as primary students today copy lines penned by their teachers, Toth said. The rest of the homework included a multiplication table and reading exercises.
报道称,蜡板上的一部分作业是书写练习。托特说,蜡板上的第一行是老师写的示范,后面两行是学生抄写的“相当笨拙”的同样字句,就像今天的小学生抄写老师写的字句一样。其余作业包括乘法表和阅读练习。
