    示範例句 · Example

    In history class we learned about the stone tombs of ancient Egypt.

    逐字在歷史課我們學到了古埃及的石頭陵墓。

    「tomb」是「石頭造的墓」：有的像一間小石屋立在地面上，有的是蓋在地底下的石室，古代國王、詩人、家族的墓常常是這一種。它跟 grave 不一樣——grave 是在土裡挖出來的坑，tombstone 則是墓前那塊刻字的石碑；tomb 講的是整個石造建築本身。常見搭配：the family tomb（家族的墓）、a royal tomb（王室陵墓）、visit a tomb（去參觀、去看那座墓）。

core核心畫面

You can picture a built place for the dead: not just a hole in the ground but stone shaped by human hands — a chamber cut into rock, or a heavy stone structure standing above the grave. Someone decided this body would be kept somewhere solid enough to still be there generations later.

可以想成一個「為死者蓋出來的空間」：不只是挖個洞埋起來，而是用石頭做出來的東西——可能是地底鑿出來的墓室，也可能是地面上一整座沉重的石造建築。重點在那份「蓋」的力氣：有人決定要讓這個人被放在一個幾百年後還在的地方。
