Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city
looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains (喷泉), houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all,
there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many
glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii
liked wine. They liked bread, too, metal bread pans were in every bakery (面包店). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread — a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell (粉末) us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the
tourists to Pompeii.
