N: After a few days of digging, the archaeologists had to acknowledge the obvious awaiting them was an entire army in battle order. Shi Huangdi had not embarked alone on his last journey. Apart from the slaves sacrificed to serve him in the afterlife, he wa accompanied by a terracotta army of 8,000 infantrymen, plus horses. Spearmen, archers, charioteers and officers were keeping watch for all eternity. Each figure was different...every face had individual features. The emperor's personal guards seemed to have been frozen for 2,000 years awaiting orders to move into battle. The archaeologists could only wonder, "What else might the emperor's tomb contain?"
（挖掘进行了几天以后，考古学家不得不承认，很明显的事实是，等待他们的是一整个听候战令的军队。始皇帝不是一个人踏上最后的征程的。除了陪葬的来世侍奉他的奴隶们，还有8,000名兵马俑陪伴着他，此外还有战马，持矛兵，弓箭手，驾驭二轮战车的官员永远都在守护着皇陵。每个形象都是不同的，每张脸都有着各异的特征。皇帝的卫士们似乎被凝固了2,000年，还在等待着战斗的号令。考古学家们只会好奇皇陵中究竟还藏着别的什么。）
【注】terracotta=n.兵马俑；infantrymen=n.步兵；archer=n.射手；charioteers=n.战车的御者
