我的考古学家老爹说:「似乎是是来自卡多部落的吊坠,看起来是真的并且是前哥伦布时期。橡树山附近有卡多遗址,也可能是进口,但是可能性不大。」

A: it is probably a mug that made sounds when filled with liquid, I only assume so due to a kid friendly design on the side of the mug.

这个大概是一个当里面倒满水后会发出声音的马克杯,我这样猜只是因为马克杯身上有着儿童喜欢的卡通图案。

Q: Found next to a cliff in the UK, has chains in it. Any ideas what this thing is?

huts.jpg

<!-- {% asset_img huts huts.jpg %} -->

A: Is this near the railway line? then it could be a line workers hut, used to store equipment and bits and pieces. With the casualisation of the workforce these huts have gone out of use.

它是不是很靠近铁路线?它可能是一个铁路线工人小屋,用于存放一些设备和零碎的东西,由于劳动力临时化,这些小屋已经不再被使用了。
