over a long period of time 1、过了很长一段时间（假如之前描述的是1800年,那么当前就是1800年以后又“过了很长一段时间”,然后发生某事）2、在一段很长的时间内（假如之前描述的是1800年,那么此处意为在1800年以后的很长一段时间内,一直在发生着某事）请问,是1、2中的哪个意思?
Over a long period of time, 是在叙述一个时间段,但是翻译上来说,不会去表示时间点是“从哪里开始的”例如 你第一个例句 我可以说The event started after waiting over a long period of time since 1800 till now.第二个例句呢 我可以说The event has been on for over a long period of time since 1800 till now.所以 over a period of time 只是叙述 "过了很长一段时间“ 比不是拿来表示时间点的.
那么，它和 a period of time 有何区别？此处 over 的意思是？
A period of time 意思是指 ”一段时间“ = an amount of time
Over 在这里的用意思是 ”经过了“
We lived in China for a period of time, 我们再中国住了一段时间
All language changes over a period of time, 所有语言经过了一段时间都会有所变化
看出来分别了吗？ :)

MOVING THE STONES

The fact that Stonehenge was not built overnight does not in any way diminish the scale of the undertaking. But how could this have been achieved by a Neolithic society? Given the sheer size and weight of the stones, what ingenious devices were employed? And what of the stones?
They are not typical of the local geology- indeed, the source of the bluestones, the first stones erected, has now been traced to the . Somehow these enormous stones were transported to the Salisbury Plains. The stones were surely too heavy for timber rollers. Perhaps they were transported on sledges, on greased tracks of wood, pulled by rope that had been made from the plant fibre of the indigenous lime bark soaked in water for weeks. Modern engineering simulations have surmised that the massive uprights were hauled into place then tipped, using stone counterweights, into position, demonstrating an understanding of the centre of gravity.
The technology was staggering. For example, even though the ground is slightly sloping, the lintels are perfectly horizontal. The craftsmen employed carpentry techniques - the lintels were dressed with mortises that would have fitted securely on to the tenons on top of the supporting sarsens, while tongues similar to toggle joints linked each lintel in the outer circle to its neighbour. It was in effect an enormous three dimensional stone puzzle.
To get the 9 ton lintels into place, the most likely method of construction may have been via the use of an earth ramp piled up against the uprights. The lintels would then have been hauled up the ramp by ropes into their exact position.
Whatever the methods used, for we are still not certain, they demonstrate an astounding level of both achievement and ambition.

As to the purpose of Stonehenge, again we can only surmise. But clearly, the very scale of this unique megalithic structure suggests that the area itself was of importance. But for what? Was Stonehenge a temple to the gods? Who were the gods? It is tempting to assign the giant sarsen stones to astrological alignement. The danger here is that you can find an alignement to almost anything if you search hard enough.
&But one presents itself immediately - Stonehenge is aligned northeast-southwest, and it has been suggested that particular significance was placed by its builders on the solstice and equinox points, so for example on a midsummer's morning, the sun rose close to the Heel Stone, and the sun's first rays went directly into the centre of the monument between the arms of the horseshoe arrangement. It is unlikely that such an alignment can have been merely accidental.&Or is this too simple? Turning 180 degrees, another alignment becomes apparent…..at the precise moment of the winter solstice, the sun sets exactly between the largest sarsen stones.

STONEHENGE FORETOLD THE TIME

To validate this, we must look at the society of the time. It had become a society now dependent on the seasons, which determined the success of agriculture. Would mid-winter have been more important to a society that had now become dependent upon the fortunes of these seasons? Psychologically, mid-winter would have been more of a critical turning point than the balmy days of summer.
&Perhaps therefore it is a mistake to overstate the monument&s spiritual significance. Certainly the area had been of importance prior to its construction, but it had become more than that - Stonehenge was a clock, a clock that foretold the time not only of the solstices but perhaps also of sun and lunar eclipses. This is not to say, however, that the priests did not utilise this very functionalism for religious importance - he or she who could announce or predict the return of the growing season would have wielded great power.

Stonehenge ― Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
巨石阵――谁能解释它的存在?
巨石阵，一个岩石圈，不仅是英国的最著名的历史古迹之一，而且是最大的谜团之一。每年，它接待75万多游客。人们尤其喜欢在六月份去这个地方，因为他们想在一年中最长的一天看日出。
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. DThe leaders arrived in England much later,‖ he points out. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy.
许多年来，历史学家认为巨石阵是一座古代领导人试图与神灵沟通的寺庙。然而，历史学家保罗q斯托克认为这不可能是真实的，因为巨石阵建于许多个世纪之前。D这些领导人抵达英国晚得多，‖他指出。另一个普遍的观点是，巨石阵可能是一种日历。这些巨石以一种特定的方式被放置在一起。在盛夏的早晨，太阳直接照射在石头的中心。其他人认为这些石头有一种医学目的。他们认为这些石头能够预防疾DAs you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet climb up your body,‖ said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place, or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
D当你走到那几时，你可以感觉到能量从你的脚上传到你的身体，‖一个游客说。没有人确定巨石阵被用来干什么，但大多数人赞同石头的位置一定有一个特殊的目的。一些人认为它可能是一个墓地( burial埋葬)或敬重祖先的地方。其他人认为它是为庆祝战胜( victory胜利)敌人而建的。
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy.
巨石阵是历经一段很长的时期被慢慢建成的。大多数历史学家认为它一定接近5000年了。最大的谜团之一是它是如何被建成的，因为那些石头又大又重。
In2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. DWe don’t really know who built Stonehenge,‖ says Paul Stoker. DAnd perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hardworking ― and great planners!‖
在2001年，一群英国志愿者试图建造另一个巨石阵，但他们没能建成。我们真的不知道谁建造了巨石阵，‖保罗。斯托克说，D或许我们可能永远不知道，但我的确知道他们一定很勤奋一而且是伟大的规划者！‖
