The early human skeleton reconstruction "Lucy" dating back 3.2 million years debuted yesterday at Ethiopian exhibition area in Joint-Africa Pavilion in Expo site.

320萬年前的原始人“露西(Lucy)”骨骼化石昨天上午在非洲聯(lián)合館埃塞俄比亞展區(qū)正式亮相。

The Ethiopian Commissioner General to Expo 2010, Sisay Getachew , and chief official in charge of Joint-Africa Pavilion with the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination unveiled the skeleton reconstruction.

上海世博會埃塞俄比亞參展總代表Sisay Getachew、非洲聯(lián)合館管理部負(fù)責(zé)人共同為“露西(Lucy)”骨骼化石揭幕。

The skeleton reconstruction exhibited in the pavilion is the only copy of the "Lucy" fossil.

今天亮相的“露西(Lucy)”骨骼化石是該化石唯一的一具復(fù)制品，之前一直在埃塞俄比亞國家博物館展示。

"Lucy" was the nickname of a set of several hundred pieces of bones of about 40% of the female skeleton of an individual Australopithecus afarensis, found in 1974 in Ethiopia. The cranial capacity of "Lucy" was 400cc with the average human from that period from 300 cc to 500 cc. Male cranial capacity was slightly larger. In comparison, modern human cranial capacity is between 1300cc to 1500cc on average.

據(jù)科學(xué)記載，“露西(Lucy)”是1974年在埃塞俄比亞發(fā)現(xiàn)的南方古猿阿法種的古人類化石的代稱。這是一具完整性40%的女性骨架，生前才20多歲，根據(jù)其骨盆推算生過孩子，腦容量為400毫升（注：當(dāng)時腦容量的平均值為300毫升-500毫升，男性比女性略高一些。現(xiàn)代人類的腦容量平均值為1300～1500毫升）。

The nickname of "Lucy" was given to the fossils while the discoverers played the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" to celebrate the find.

“露西”生活的年代是320萬年前，因此被認(rèn)為屬于第一批直立行走的人類，是目前所知人類的最早祖先。這具南方古猿化石之所以取名“露西”，緣于發(fā)現(xiàn)者在當(dāng)時播放了一首披頭士樂隊的歌《Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds》，于是這具化石便被命名為“露西(Lucy)”。
