The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease. The only way to do this was to operate. The operation, which lasted for over four hours, proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin. The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory. They also found something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Duamutef. This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy. The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died. They feared that the mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but fortunately this has not happened. The mummy successfully survived the operation.死于公元前800年的一位埃及妇女的木乃伊刚刚接受了一次手术。这是曾在底比斯神殿里当过歌手的赛潘姆特的木乃伊。由于在给这个木乃伊拍摄的X光片子上有点奇怪的斑点，所以，医生们一直试图搞清这位妇女是否死于一种罕见的疾病。搞清的唯一办法就是手术。手术持续了 4个多小时，非常难做，因为皮肤上覆盖着一层硬硬的树脂。医生们从木乃伊身上取下一个切片，送去化验。他们还发现了X光片所没有显示的东西：一个蜡制的杜瓦木特夫神小塑像。这种牛头人身的神像通常被放在木乃伊体内。医生们至今还未确定这位妇女的死因。他们曾担心在把木乃伊切开后，它会散成碎片，但幸运得很，这种情况并未发生。这 具木乃伊成功地经受了这次手术。mummy m ?mi n. 木乃伊还有“妈妈”的意思，以后可不要叫我The mummy of an Egyptian woman whodied in 800 B.C. has just had an operation .死于公元前 800年的一位埃及妇女的木乃伊刚刚接受了一次手术。mummy 了。Egyptian id ?ip ?n a.埃及的Egypt:埃及B.C. = Before Christ公兀前，放在年代的后面。A.D.公兀，放在年代的前面，常常可以省略。Temple of Thebes底比斯神庙The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. 这是 曾在底比斯神殿里当过歌手的赛潘姆特的 木乃伊。temple temp ?l n.庙a Roman temple:罗马神殿a temple of arts:艺术殿堂that指代上文当中出现的名词themummy。在指代特指事物时，尤其是在比较状语从句中，常用that和those指代提到的事物：The cost of living here is lower than that in London.that of和those of ,般用较止式的 文体中：Its colder Beijing than Guangzhou.x（北与、广州是地点，只后大小之分，本身 没有冷和热）The weather of Beijing is colder than Guangzhou. xThe weather of Beijing is colder than the weather of Guangzhou.=The weather of Beijing is colder than that of Guangzhou.
