It's well-known that ancient Europeans loved drinking wine, but a recent discovery suggests that the ancient Chinese enjoyed the tipple just as much.

众所周知，古达欧洲人喜欢饮酒。

然而，最近的发现表明，古代人对饮酒也有着浓厚的兴趣。

Archaeologists in China have found vintage wine thought to be more than 2,000 years old in a commoner's tomb.

考古学家，在平民墓葬中发现了2000多年前的佳酿。

The liquid, measuring 300 milliliter, proves that ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty (221-207BC) enjoyed drinking alcohol, according to researchers.

研究人员表示，这瓶300毫升的古酒，证明秦人喜欢饮酒。

The ancient alcohol was discovered inside a bronze vessel by archaeologists from the Archaeological Research Institute of Shaanx Province.

该古酒是陕西省考古研究院的考古学家，在一瓶青铜器里发现的。

From May, 2017, to January, 2018, researchers excavated a group of 56 ancient tombs for a new subway project in the ixan New District in Shaanx Province.

从2017年5月至2018年1月，研究人员挖掘了56个古墓。

The bronze vessel was found during the process and is thought to date back to Qin Dynasty, the first power-centralised dynasty on the Chinese history.

装有古酒的青铜器，就是在挖掘过程中被发现的，据说可以追溯到历史中第一个中央王朝秦朝。

Experts from the institute said the alcohol, now milky yellow, was a type of fermented alcoholic beverage.

陕西省考古研究院的专家介绍，这些已经呈现淡绿色的古酒，是一种发酵酒。

Apart from the vintage tipple, archaeologists discovered an ancient sword believed to be nearly 3,000 years old. The 30cm-long (23in-long) blade, found in another tomb, was sharp and appeared to be well worn.

除了古酒外，考古人员还发现了一把有着大约3000年历史的古代铜剑。

这把30厘米长的铜剑，是在另一个墓葬中发现的。铜剑相当锋利。

Will extreme aging add to the taste? Only one way to find out. Now, who'll be the first to take a sip?
