托福阅读长难句：岩石艺术风格

　　Lesley Maynard, the archaeologist who coined the phrase “Panaramitee style,” suggested that a sequence could be determined for Australian rock art, in which a geometric style gave way to a simple figurative style (outlines of figures and animals), followed by a range of complex figurative styles that, unlike the pan-Australian geometric tradition, tended to much greater regional diversity.(TPO23, 58)

　　archaeologist /?ɑ:ki'?l?d?ist/ n. 考古学家

　　coin vt. 创造(新词语)

　　geometric /?d???'metr?k/ adj. 几何的

　　figurative adj. 比喻的，形象的

　　pan-构词成分，意思为：总的，泛的，全的，如pan-African

　　大家自己先读，不回读，看一遍是否能理解

　　LesleyMaynard(创造了“Panaramiteestyle”词组的考古学家)认为：澳大利亚岩石艺术的顺序可以被确定，即岩石艺术从几何图形风格，后来被简单的轮廓风格(人物和动物的轮廓)取代，再到后来一系列复杂的轮廓风格(这种风格不像泛澳的几何的传统，更趋向地区的多样化)。
