　　2. LABORERS WHO CONSTRUCTED THE STATUE ATE LIKE KINGS。2.制作雕像的劳动者吃的十分好。

　　Most scientists' initial assumption was that the men who toiled to bring the Sphinx to life belonged to an enslaved caste. Their diets would suggest otherwise, however; led by Lehner revealed that the statue's laborers regularly dined on luxurious cuts of prime beef, sheep, and goat meat。大部分科学家最初以为制作狮身人面像的苦工们是奴隶，但是不然，领导挖掘的莱纳透露说，制作雕像的人通常分到顶级的牛肉、绵羊肉以及山羊肉这样的奢侈食物。
