3. Ancient Egyptians loved board games.

古埃及人热爱棋盘游戏

After a long day's work along the Nile River, Egyptians often relaxed by playing board games. Several different games were played, including "Mehen" and "Dogs and Jackals," but perhaps the most popular was a game of chance known as "Senet."

在尼罗河畔辛勤劳作了一天后,古埃及人通常会玩玩棋类游戏来放松一下。他们会玩各种各样的棋类游戏,例如“盘蛇图”、“狗和豺”等。但其中最受欢迎的当属“赛尼特”(Senet),这个游戏全靠运气取胜。


This pastime dates back as far as 3500 B.C. and was played on a long board painted with 30 squares. Each player had a set of pieces that were moved along the board according to rolls of dice or the throwing sticks.

关于这一游戏,历史可追溯到公元前3500年。棋盘是一个画有30个方格的长桌,每个玩家各执一套棋子,通过掷骰子或抛木棍来决定步数,按规定将棋子沿着桌面移动。
