文本：
And the villagers were real neighbours,living cheek by jowl, their houses connected by walled, sometimes decoratedalleyways. It's not too much for a stretch to imagine gossip travelling downthose alleyways after a hearty 1 seafood 2 supper. We have, in other words,everything you could possibly want from a village except a church and a pub. In3,000 BC, the sea and the air were a little warmer than they are now. And oncethey'd settled in their sandstone houses, they could harvest red bream andmussels and oysters 3 that were abundant in the shallows. Cattle provided meatand milk, and dogs were kept for hunting and for company. During the Neolithiccenturies there would have been at least a dozen little houses here, half-duginto the ground for comfort and for safety. A thriving, bustling 5 littlecommunity of 50 or 60. But the real miracle of Skara Brae is thatthese houses were not mere 6 shelters. They were built by people who had culture,who had style. And here's where they showed off that style. The fully 7 equipped,all-purpose Neolithic 4 living room, complete with luxuries and necessities.
译文：
村民们比邻而居，关系十分亲密。房屋鳞次栉比，有些地方还修有走廊。不难想象，某次海鲜盛宴结束后，邻里间穿行在走廊间闲话家常的情景。作为一个村庄，除了酒吧与教堂，这里应有尽有。公元前3000年，水温与气温略都高于今日，村民们一旦定居于此，便可捕获附近浅滩中丰富的红鲷，贻贝以及牡蛎食用。蓄养家畜供应肉类和奶制品，驯养狗用来打猎和作伴，新石器时期，至少数十个小房屋曾坐落于此，均采用半地下式，兼顾安全与舒适，五六十人组成了这个欣欣向荣的小部落。而斯卡拉布雷真正的奇迹，是他们的房屋绝不仅是简单的庇护所，建造它们的人们自有其文明与时代风格。这里便是展现他们时代风格的地方。一间装备齐全，用途明确的新石器时代起居室，必需品与奢侈品一应俱全。
