In fact, archeologists still debate the meaning of cave paintings such as those at Lascaux.

事实上，历史学家对洞穴壁画——如拉斯考克斯（Lascaux）壁画——的含义存有争议。

FEW human records survive for long, the 16,000-year-old Paleolithic cave paintings at Lascaux, France, being one exception.

人工记录很少能长期保存。 法国拉斯科的旧石器时代岩画是个例外，它已经有1万6千年的历史了。

The Cro-Magnons who left cave paintings of large animals in the monumental Lascaux cave over 17, 000 years ago were the Homo sapiens with the biggest brain.

克罗马农人曾在不朽的拉斯科洞穴留下过表现巨大动物的岩画。 这些克罗马农人是有着最大体积大脑的智人。

The Lascaux caves, in the Dordogne region of France, may have the answer. There you can see a painting of a red cow with a black head high on one of the walls.

法国多尔多涅河地区的拉斯科洞穴中也许就有这些问题的答案：在那里的一面墙壁上，你能看到一头红色的母牛，它黑色的牛头高高扬起。

the cave paintings at Lascaux, for example, are an ochred zooanalia of horses, stags, bison, felines, a woolly rhinoceros, a bird, a leaping cow — and only one puny man.

例如，如同史前动物大观园的法国拉斯考克斯（Lascaux）洞穴壁画就描绘了马、野牛、猫科动物、一只毛茸茸的犀牛、一只鸟、一只跳跃的母牛——以及一个微不足道的人类。
