I have referred(尤指簡短地)提到,談及 in passing to the difficult tasks assumed假定,假設 by the Greek Archaeological考古學 Service, and I hope that it will not seem too presumptuous冒昧的,專橫 if I further進一步地, 更遠 enlarge on them.
The unselective preservation保護,維護;保藏,保養 of Greece’s material物質/材料 heritage, which is a cause so estimable值得敬重的,值得敬佩 in principle原理;原則 that almost nobody would speak in public against it, has brought(bring 的過去式及過去分詞) about another, less obvious, crisis危機,極其困難.
The historically conscious醒著的, 有意識 visitors to Greece today are rightly impressed印象深刻 by the steady increase in the number of local museums and in the quality of exhibition. What they may not appreciate—and I think that this is true even of classicists古典學者;古希臘或古羅馬文化研究者 and other “professionals” who are not archaeologists—is that what is actually displayed is merely(用於強調所說的即為所想表達的)僅僅,只 the beautiful tip of an unsightly不吸引人的,醜陋 iceberg.
Almost every museum in Greece is compelled被迫的,不得不 to conceal隱匿;隱瞞 in its storerooms儲藏室,儲物間 a mass, growing year by year at an alarming驚恐的,引起恐慌 pace(移動的)步調;(發生的)速度;節奏, of materials unsuited to exhibition; these artifacts(尤指具有史學價值的)人工製品,製造物 are often undocumented沒有書面證明支持的, 沒有(在一個國家生活或工作的)合法身份文件 and sometimes destined有目的 to remain留下;保持 so.
If the Archaeological Service were rewarded報償;酬謝;獎賞, either in salaries薪水 or in manpower, on a scale that bears some faint輕微的, 微弱的;不清晰 relation友好關係, 關聯 to the colossal巨大的,龐大 contribution貢獻,奉獻 that its activities make to the nation’s tourist industry, then one could look ahead朝前看,展望未來 to a possible reduction減少;減小 of the pressure.
If we cannot change the current policy, the only prospect可能性,機會, 前景 is that it will rapidly increase: even to keep pace with the rate of growth in the “submerged(使)潛入水 nine-tenths” of its holdings, the service would need an increase in manpower.
Much of the material has to be stored in improvised accommodation住處;工作場所, which proves證明是,結果 to be difficult of access for researches; meanwhile在此期間;(與此)同時, its keepers are distracted憂心忡忡的,焦慮的 by the ever more persistent demands of emergency excavation开凿;发掘;挖掘.
